Mixed fetish party for dancing & playing. 10–20% gay crowd. Strict dresscode: fetish, bizarre, fantasy. Most of the party crowd is dressed quite classy, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and party-like. To avoid men outnumbering women door policy often rejects single men – better come early and as a couple.
