Digital locker system that lets you unlock any time you need it I don't know if there is always enough lockers for everyone, but if you can get one it's awesome. They also have a separate wardrobe / clothed check if you don't get a locker. 3. Free water - not sure if this is normal but glasses of tap water were free and that makes a huge difference. I would definitely go to an event here again.

Compared to the US, we were pleasantly surprised how inexpensive drinks were at a music venue/club. We came for Techno Tuesday and it was a vibe. A smaller crowd probably but we didn't have to wait outside or pay any cover. We went around midnight. Around 3AM there was a line outside (Euros party late). The upstairs has like riser seating throughout and the downstairs is one big dance floor. The bathrooms were a little bit of a walk (for the good ones). Overall, we had a good time here!

We booked a table here where you start in the upstairs lounge space that has a small dance floor…read moreand then at 2AM they open the downstairs which is more like a club with tables around the edges. You should wear either closed toed shoes or higher heels because everything is glass so flat sandals is a little dangerous. One girl in our group almost didn't get let in but because we had a table, they allowed it. Upstairs gives that Asian decor with lots of red lights. There's a light up dance floor in the center and they're playing hip/hop and r&b. The tables are small circular lounge ones and there. They do have some small sparklers for the bottles to arrive. Downstairs, our table was on the front right right next to the DJ booth and the speakers which was a lot, but they gave us ear plugs. Love the light up ceiling below and the music is more EDM. We were there during 'Please Don't Tell Night' which I'm not sure what that theme means but there was an Emcee that acted like DJ Khaled and talked wayyy too much. Otherwise the music was pretty solid. We ended up staying til close and had a good time!

Theres not much table space for bottle service but nice place to hit the dance floor or stand at the bar and listen to music. The ceiling has a cool light display too.

This was a fun one time experience. I enjoyed the live show, but wish there was MUCH more of it…read more The same could be said for the food. We got vegetarian dishes, so I'm not sure if the meat/fish eaters got more, but we paid full price and left with our stomachs growling. The plus side: the beers were 3 euro. The room is very cool and the acts are very cool, but I don't know if that's enough to warrant the price of admission. We'll enjoy this story of our night, but don't go on an empty stomach.

We had a blast! The staff is super friendly (and why wouldn't they be? Their customer base is always happy and never violent), the music is off the hook and the vibes are perfect. We went on a very quiet week night so I imagine the vibes are different when it's packed. Still, a nice little touristy spot to get your coffee fix.

Most of the establishments looked pretty quiet and dead except for Smokey and the club next door. Since we weren't in the mood for clubbing, we decided to go to Smokey. The moment we walked in, I noticed that it totally lived up to its namesake and was totally... smokey. Too smokey. It almost seemed like there was a fire going on inside. The place was pretty packed and busy, but we managed to snag a little bar table by the door. It was next to the vending machine for ciggies and under a large clock, so I could keep tabs on exactly what time it was. :) I sat on a high bar stool by the wall, while my bf sat with his back towards the room. It wasn't the best position for him to be in, as people kept bumping into him as they were walking by. He got a beer, and I ordered a mint tea because I didn't feel like drinking any more alcohol. I loved how the mint tea came with tons of fresh mint leaves. Totally awesome. They also gave me a Pickwick English tea bag with it, which I didn't bother to put in, as I didn't want any caffeine so late at night. We left after only one drink, as we were tired and the place was too smokey to hang out for long.

My friends were travelling by car and arrived ahead of me; Dutch-speakers, they got in fine but I was refused entry and the bouncer miserably explained - while letting inside any Dutch person who arrived - that it's a 'members only' club. When I pointed out that my friends were inside that he seemed to be letting anybody in, he explained that he 'didn't know me' and, when pressed, that non-Dutch people were not welcome. I've seen another reviewer on a different site claim to have had the same problem. Shame, but I guess foreigners are no longer welcome at Bubbels.

We did some research and ended up at Escape on a Saturday night. Their Brainwashed format was a series of DJ's playing a very good mix of EDM hits. We made a good choice to go with their, compared to Vegas, reasonably priced table service. Purchased entry on line beforehand. First row in the balcony was perfect. Arrived at midnight to the VIP entrance and after a quick security pat down we were at our table... Patrick was our server and he did a great job keeping us happy. Great music and atmosphere, lots of room at the table for 4 people, never felt crowded. If you like the feel of a packed dance floor, down the stairs and you are in the mass of dancers. A couple of things different than most US clubs.... Mandatory coat check, men and women... no exceptions and a small fee to use the very clean attended bathrooms.

The venue has potential and the show/artists I saw there were excellent but certain things about…read morethe venue itself really, really, really detracted from my experience. 1. It was shocking that a venue with a strict non-smoking policy still permits smoking and vaping inside on the main stage and the dance floor. Last night, people were smoking all over and absolutely nothing was being done about it. I saw at least 10 examples, at least half of which were in the VIP area next to the main stage, in plain sight of everyone. Having smoke blown in my face multiple times really detracted from my experience, and smoking indoors has also been illegal in NL since 2008. 2. The placement of the gogo dancers was inconvenient. The dancers were on top of the DJ booth, obscuring the clear view of the DJ for at least 10-20% of people. In Vegas, they stand near the DJ Booth or around the edge of the dance floor or by the VIP area, which still allows club goers to see the DJ. Escape should also place its dancers in a place where they do not obscure the DJ. 3. That there were only female gogo dancers made me feel very uncomfortable, and like the club was geared more for the traditional heterosexual male experience than for the female/gay male experience. I appreciate and respect the gogo art form and suggest that if Escape has gogo dancers as a part of the entertainment, that there should be female AND male dancers (and nonbinary, if available, for inclusivity). The two stars are (1) for the great screens, sound, lighting, and effects systems with talented tech people, and (2) for the friendly and skilled bartenders
