We just wanted to have a good time listening djs we were already following. We were three tourist, well dressed and completely sober.
They refused to let us join the club, the first bodyguard told us it was a private party, not true because we were planning 2 days before and we were following what asked in the instagram post. The second bodyguard, almost confused just told us the place was full. Sadly we saw many other locals getting inside without any issue.
The real thing is that we were Italians, and they didnt want us.
Racism from Romanians, people that here we host even when we all know how usually romanians behave in clubs.
Just disgusting, they ruined our night’s plan.
Not reccomended ( as most of the thing you will try in bucarest)

I used to go for many years in this venue. I even have a lot of friends who had concerts in here.
They start to think about themselves as Berghain from Berlin.
Don't waste your time and money here. It is just a scam. After 10 years of Control I will never come back here.
P.S.: that "bodyguard" with his eyebrows done and diva attitude should work in Ferentari, not in a central place in Bucharest.

Tonight i got rejected for not being white. Its the first time in my life i get rejected from an electronic music club. Right now i have been 5 months travelling partying everywhere, Berlin, Budapest, Zagreb, Prague, Sarajevo, etc... really fun nights and people everywhere, mostly techno places. Here in Bucarest it was my first night out, i went to see Prika play on the night of 21 december. There was a queue to enter and absolutely everybody went in at their turn (the queue was quite fast) without any problem. My friend paid to the guy selling the tickets and entered the main door (where there's a 2 meters bouncer). When it was my turn i was paying and getting the ticket in my hand when the bouncer said something to the ticket seller and he took my ticket back from my hand. Then they acted ignoring me (while i didnt say anything and didnt know what was going on, just waiting to enter), and the bouncer without looking at me did a big no with the hand to me. The ticket seller was as surprised as me and he told me i cant enter. I asked if theres any reason (without being loud or disturbing anybody) and he told me just that i cant enter, so i just had to leave, i didnt want to have any problem. I was completely correctly dressed, not drunk or drugged, not loud or anything that could make them decide to not get me in, except of how i look, which has neever been a problem to me in any techno club. Absolutely everybody else was going in, 18 year guys that looked 16, big groups of only guys, etc... The only difference between them and me is my skin colour, i was the only one non white (im "brown")
Well i suppose its a good club in the sense that they bring nice djs, i suppose they have a decent sound system, etc...but if you enter the club just know that they rejected at least one time people for looking like how i look, while everybody else was getting in. I hope i could do something about it but i know they are in their right to only let enter who they want and i cant do anything legally, i just want people to be aware that they do this. So well my friend left with me as he saw i couldnt enter and we didnt of course even bother of asking his money back (he had entered just before me). We left and the guys behind and everybody else got in without any problem, when you arrive at the end of the queue you just pay and have the ticket, theres not a selection process normally. This completely ruined our night, we have been listening before some sets of the dj playing this night and getting prepared for the party and this happened when we finally arrived to the club, around 01 (the club opened at 00)
I hope this message reaches someone.
Peace

Snobby bartenders and customers alike. Terrible customer service at times and impossible to breathe inside because of the smoke (smoker here). But if you're looking to get high, by all means go and lick their walls, the residue of previous party goers is potent enough.

I’ve had the most horrible night in this club. I’ve tried to intervene cuz one girl was being molested by some very aggressive guy. Bodyguards didn’t intervene when me and my friend adverted them.

I was taken here by a local friend. It is a nice place with cheap-ish beer. The terrace is the only place you can smoke and it isn’t airy. I don’t smoke and I couldn’t breathe after 5 minutes because everyone there was smoking and that’s also where everyone socialises. Romanians do smoke a lot and majority also smokes too. They also sell cigarettes at the bar which you can order and pay. However if I was a smoker or didn’t mind it, then this is the best place to go and mingle. It is quite close to old town too.

One of the best club's I was in Europe, it's very similar to the Underground club's in Berlin. Very chilled in the outside with ambient music, good alternative electronic music in the inside lub, and a 3rd stage with rockabilly music. For all taste's with a great coffee shop in the rooftop. In Bucharest, Control and Eden were my favourite spot's!

Hi, unfortunately I am as far away as from Bucharest. But this is not a club with so called "club music". Besides the good restaurant they run a kind of smaller concert and conference hall were one can enjoy many types of music, meet artists, and so on, without engaging in dancing on that music. But the world is constantly moving and changing, so you get the latest on events in Bucharest or on their we page.
