Garage Noord — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Absolutely disgusted by the egregious mismanagement of this club. My friend and I arrived after next door's SkateCafe (great club) closed (around 3:30am) and wanted to just keep dancing for an hour or so more as I had come from abroad to see her. We were completely fine, not drunk, disorderly or behaving in any way which could warrant rejection from a nightclub (never have my friend nor I been rejected from any club). In the queue we politely made conversation with a group behind us as the waiting time was outrageous. By the time we get to the door the bleach blonde woman at the door who asked us "why are you here" upon which we replied "it's a nightclub, to dance?" she then said your group cannot come in because of that man in the cap (waving in the generic direction of the queue). We explained we are not a group and she said "you don't know the lineup you're clearly here to party" LIKE IS THAT NOT WHAT A NIGHTCLUB IS FOR?. Rejected us, ruined the end of our evening. For a place which is supposed to be a "rave club" and "inclusive" this place is pathetic. Rude, obnoxious, condescending, power tripping staff - you're not Berghain you're some random club in an Amsterdam industrial estate which sells sandwiches during the day. Wouldn't visit again if I was on fire and it was the only building in the world with water. If I could give a 0 rating I would and that woman ought to work in anything other than hospitality...

I’m deeply disappointed and outraged by the utter lack of inclusiveness and sensitivity displayed by this establishment. Hanging a Palestinian flag at the entrance of a nightclub is not only wildly inappropriate but also shows a blatant disregard for the diverse views and feelings of your patrons. This is not a political forum; it's a place where people come to unwind and have fun.

Such a flag is highly political and divisive, especially in a country where many hold strong and differing opinions on international issues. It's clear that the management is more interested in pushing their own political agenda than in providing a welcoming environment for all. This is an unacceptable display of ignorance and a severe misstep in understanding the basic principles of inclusiveness and respect for all guests.

Moreover, it's a slap in the face to those who expect businesses in our community to show a sense of patriotism and unity, not to promote foreign political symbols. The message you’re sending is one of division, not inclusion. If you’re so out of touch with your customers' sentiments, then you shouldn't be surprised when people choose to take their business elsewhere.

I strongly urge others to reconsider supporting a place that so blatantly disregards the importance of neutrality and respect in such a sensitive area. Absolutely...

This place is a discrace to club culture with gatekeepers acting rude and abusing their power. If you can’t get in while being friendly and polite and you are being dismissed without any reason, you are not the inclusive club you pretend to be. Spare yourself a long wait in line and avoid this club

My dear friend who was celebrating his birthday got in standing right in front of me. I’m aware of the policy to not enter with a large group, we were with three people and I was entering slightly later in line solo. I got dismissed while actually being sober, I was relaxed and smiling.

My friend decided to leave right away after I was dismissed, he asked for a refund of the hefty fee he just payed as we only wanted to celebrate his birthday there together. He didn’t even enter the club area.

The doormen refused his request, so we asked the manager what to do. While we explained the situation in a calm and friendly manor, the manager was acting like an angry pitbull after our simple request to refund the fee. We felt violated.

I got in this club many times before and was ready to spread love and joy, I really don’t get why they act like this. Being dismissed like this with the best of intent is just...
