Filter Klub

The ever popular Filter Klub has regular music events covering most rock, metal and ambient acts, but is well known for its ska, reggae, dub, and alternative rock nights. The design of this bar is in a quite rugged, basement room style with dated furniture, ceilings covered in a jungle of plants, and graffiti paintings which add that extra ruin appeal.

For the hardcore Depeche Mode fans, their Friday nights are all about the best selections by the English band.
This underground club has a lot to offer if you’re looking for a bar/club with good rock and metal music, great deals for drinks, cheap beer and plus some other forms of entertainment like games or playing football.
