Personel pek yardımcı olmuyor. Şarj aleti konusunda yardım etmedi kestirip attı. Yerimizi değiştirdik ve sandalyeler rahatsız. Müzik ekibi iyiydi ama mekanın ses sistemi patladı aksilik çok yaşandı. Tonemeister de zorlandı. Ben de müzisyenim. Müzisyenler adına üzgünüm. En kısa zamanda ses sistemi değişimi yapılmalı. Sandalye yenilenmeli. Personel güleryuzlu değil.

The staff is not very helpful. He didn't help with the charger and just threw it away. We changed our seats and the chairs are uncomfortable. The music team was good, but the venue's sound system exploded, causing many mishaps. Tonemeister also had difficulty. I am also a musician. I'm sorry for the musicians. The sound system should be replaced as soon as possible. The chair should be renewed. The staff is not friendly.

1 yıldızı dahi hak etmiyor masaya kuruyemiş bırakıliyor ve sizden istemediginizi belirttiginiz halde çerez  parası talep ediliyor.

It doesn't even deserve 1 star, nuts are left on the table and you are asked to pay for snacks even though you stated that you do not want them.

2 erkek müzik dinleyelim diye geldiğinizde minicik çerez ve cipse 400 ekstra ücrete ekliyorlar. Kokteylerinde alkol yok denecek kadar az.

When two men come to listen to music, they add tiny snacks and chips for an extra fee of 400. There is almost no alcohol in their cocktails.
