I visited Jazzit for a clubbing night, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The venue presents itself as an inclusive space, mindful of important social issues, and at first, the atmosphere seemed positive. However, the way I was treated by the staff was completely unacceptable.
After paying €20 for entry, I was on the dance floor when I made eye contact with a girl who seemed a bit serious. In a totally normal and respectful way, I lightly touched her shoulder and asked if she was okay. Anyone with some clubbing experience knows that interactions like this are part of a normal, social night out.
A few minutes later, as I was moving to another room, two staff members approached me and told me not to touch people, implying that several different people had complained about my behavior. This happened without them talking to me first, without knowing what had actually occurred, and without giving me a chance to explain myself.
I felt discriminated against and humiliated, and my night was completely ruined. I decided to leave after only an hour and a half.
What struck me the most was how quickly they judged me. I wonder if I would have been treated the same way if I weren’t a foreigner. I had the clear impression that the staff acted with prejudice, making assumptions about me without any effort to hear my side of the story.
It’s ironic that a club that claims to be modern and inclusive has such a rigid and unfair approach, passing judgment without dialogue. If inclusion means feeling watched and treated like a problem for a completely respectful interaction, then something is...
Read moreWe went to a techno party on Saturday, and my friend approached a girl, simply asking, "How's it going?" while lightly placing a hand on her shoulder. The girl reacted as if she had been seriously harassed and immediately ran away.
Without even speaking to us or trying to understand what had actually happened, the club staff came over and asked my friend to leave. This is completely unacceptable. While we understand that some people might have personal traumas or social anxiety, it would be more appropriate for them to avoid crowded places where people naturally interact.
As for the staff, they should have taken the time to listen to both sides instead of making rushed judgments. It felt unfair and discriminatory—whether because we are men or foreigners, we don’t know, but the way we were treated was far from inclusive. Since that we left and we paid 20 euro each of us to stay only 2 hours. We both live abroad and travel frequently, yet this is the first time we have experienced something like this.

Read moreInstead of letting me know the bar was closing shortly, some guy sat next to me, who claimed to be the owner, and yelled at me to finish my beer, then started counting down from 30. When I finished it in 10 seconds (not what I'd prefer to do to finish my evening and leave) and turned to my friends next to me to get us together to leave, a bouncer grabbed my arm and tried to physically drag me off my stool. A five minute warning would have absolutely been on me, I've never had to aggressively tell a bouncer not to touch me to be able to walk out of a bar before, especially while being the one person trying to get my group moving to go. Despite a fun night, I can't recommend ever giving this place your business.
If you look at recent reviews, seems to have gone downhill...
