Good to know

What we saw on the spot: on weeknights it's fairly quiet, but you should come in the evening regardless. On Thursdays it's already a bit busier around 22:00-23:00. It's at the weekend that it gets really packed: from 22:00 it's already pretty full.

Our team's take

We stopped by L'Impact Bar: it really is a cruising bar for gay men, with the bar on the ground floor and the cruising in the basement. During the week it's pretty quiet, but either way, evening is when you want to go. On Thursdays, it's already a bit busier from around 22:00-23:00. It's mostly at the weekend that it gets properly packed: from 22:00, it's nicely full. As for dress code, each night has its own rule, from naturist to full naked, with underwear allowed on Mondays.
