Name: Kiss Bang Affiar at ClubNL

Type of bar: Unofficial opening party for Europride

My Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

How I found out about this place: Friends sent me a Facebook invite for it

Even though they labeled this the unofficial opening to EuroPride I still wanted to go because ClubNL’s goal was to attract individuals interested in EuroPride and I thought that this would provide the atmosphere of an actual EuroPride event but on a smaller scale. The individuals in the first picture are my amazing friends that also wanted to party at a Pride event before they actually started. In fact, most of my classmates were also there that night!

I had a great time while I was there. There is a small stage with a pole in the middle of it. A few of my classmates and I took turns on it since it was one of those self-spinning poles and we all wanted to twirl on a pole at least once in our lives. The music was great and the DJ that came a little later on in the night was even better. We danced the night away! However, if you enjoy drinking as you party I have to warn you that the prices here are pretty steep. For a vodka and tonic we paid about 8 euro so I can’t imagine how much some of the fancier cocktails cost.

My friends and I got to CLubNL pretty early. The club was far from full so I easily noticed that there were not many people of color. As the night went on more people showed up and the club was eventually crowded. I couldn’t see much racial diversity at first because I was only dancing with my friends. I eventually made my way to the bathroom where I waited in line with a few women of color. We entertained each other so that we wouldn’t pee our pants while waiting for an open stall. 

As I was walking back to the cluster that was my friends I got the chance to look at the people I was sharing a space with. Most people came in groups. From what I could tell there weren’t many individuals that came by themselves aside from the people sitting on bar stools all night. When I noticed POC they were either in a small group together partying in their own space. Or they were one of two or three POC in a group of White appearing people. You can see this in the second and third picture. Those pictures were taken throughout the night to document the amazing time that everyone was having at this event. 

Though there was some racial diversity in this space I wouldn’t say that this was a place for QPOC. As I mentioned, I only saw groups of people of color or what I consider to be token POC within groups of non-POC. That is not a space that feels like it is meant for me. In the case of token POC it feels as if that person had to be escorted into the white-dominated space that was the Kiss Bang Affair. It’s almost like only wanting to visit a foreign area if you are with a tour guide from that area. It is true that you are sharing the space with others but there is a clear unspoken distinction between those that know the area so are allowed to engage with it and you who are merely an observer. Tokens typically stay with their groups while others are free to venture out and intermingle.

I am all for POC creating spaces for themselves when others will not. However, in this case I am not sure how to feel. I noticed a group of POC next to my group of friends. I love that they came to this club together and formed a small circle as if they were making their own club within the club. They kept their backs to everyone else and focused on each other for most of the night. It felt so refreshing to see a group of Black people having such a great time. But this didn’t make the space feel any more welcoming to me. Yes, there was a small group of POC less that ten feet away from me. Yes, I could have walked over there and tried to join in on the fun. But looking from the outside inward it honestly did look like they made a small party within the party. They weren’t engaging in the space. They were merely taking up space which can be extremely empowering in most spaces but I felt as if it wasn’t doing anything here. Whenever I looked at that group I felt as if I belonged somewhere. When I looked in any other direction I wasn’t sure if I belonged or not. 

ClubNL is not usually a LGBTQ+ space from what I can tell. If you are looking for an average fun night, I would recommend it. If you are LGB and want a fun night out, I would recommend this place. I you are a QTPOC, I would look into the events going on the night you want to go before you decide. Or find a better bar because this isn’t really for you.
