Large gay dance club, dark and cruisy. Dancefloor with a big videoscreen showing gay action movies. The crowd is masculine but mainly older guys. Many bears and cubs. Not so many guys took their shirt off. Upstairs darkroom and cruising area. The only toilets are on the ground floor and are quite hard to reach.
Entrance on Saturday is 12 Euro, a bottle of beer is 5 Euro.
Martin's is like other Eagles across America and Canada, but bigger, better laid out. It has one of the largest darkroom areas around. It's a REAL Eagle, but Barcelona style. 12EUR will get you in and a free drink. There is a video room upstairs with chairs, a small bar, and behind it is a chainlink fence leading to the vast darkroom. There are small sections and hideaways in the darkroom area. Be careful, there are those who will love to empty your pockets while you are having fun, so don't take anything of value or hold it tightly.
Downstairs on the main level there is a mini-dancefloor. Unfortunately, on my visit it was filled with obnoxious and loud women. Lesbians or not, they were giggly and stupid.
The music is pretty good. It is a mixture of house, tech-house, progressive and general pop remixes. I enjoyed it (over the screams of drunken girls).
If you are looking for big bear/Levi type guys that would normally frequent an Eagle in New York, Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, or Washington, Martins is the place to go.
bof bof bof !!! le vendredi soir ... tres peu de monde ... endroit passé de mode ?

Smoking is allowed so the atmosphere in there is terrible, and the hole place stinks. What a pity.
