About The Cuckoo's Nest

Step into The Cuckoo’s Nest and feel the hot, electric atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Order a drink at the bar and choose your pace, will you ease into the night or explore the catacombs right away? For peace of mind, a guarded cloakroom is available. While the bar has few restrictions, purchasing at least one drink is required. Above all, we prioritize a Safe Space, where consent is key.
