VIBE VISION
At Den Anden Side we care about our guests' safety and their ability to express themselves free from judgment or unwanted attention, and we strive to always be a place where especially minoritised people can feel safety and comfort. Therefore, please be aware of the space and event you are entering, the space you are taking up, and how your presence will influence the vibe and the other guests. It’s about giving space rather than taking space, about contributing to the party with good energy and mutual respect, and about treating others how they want to be treated.

EVENT- AND GENRE PROFILE
We do not aim to be a place for anyone on any night - we are a niche music venue and nightclub for underground and alternative genres, and it is the intention that our events should interest a variety of audiences. Most of our events span in the spectrum of faster, electronic music genres such as house, techno, and trance, but you might also encounter performance art, experimental, and contemporary genres. Therefore the vibe and crowd will differ slightly based on the type of event. For this reason we always ask our guests to seek knowledge about the event before entering to make sure it’s a fit for your personal taste and vibe. Info can be found via our Instagram, website, or RA.

DRESS CODE
‍We do not operate with dress codes unless the event specifically states so, but we do advice our guests to not arrive in formal-attire (suits, shirts, etc.) or uniforms (sports, business, etc.), and we require everyone to leave their overwear in a locker upon entry. You can be as undressed inside the club as you’d like, as long as you are considerate of other guests’ bodies and boundaries - especially those less privileged than yourself.

GROUPS
If you are a large group together inside the club we ask you to be mindful of the space around you and not to dominate the crowd. For this reason you can not buy tables at the club, and the space is designed to bring people together around the dancefloors or chilling 1-1 or in small groups.

DANCEFLOOR
Please respect that we created a space which is focused on dancing and music. It’s okay to not always go to the club for that purpose, but all guests must respect and give space to other guests’ ability to enjoy the dancefloor undisturbed. This means keeping quiet, staying off your phone, and not disrupting the flow of the dancing crowd inconsiderably.

STICKERS, CAMERA, AND PHONES
To enforce our no photo policy, we cover your phone camera with stickers before you enter. Removing these at the club is not allowed. We generally also advice that you stay off your phone as much as possible - on the dancefloor your phone should be kept away at all times.

DOOR POLICY
All club nights operate with some level of selection. We categorize these levels into three tiers that all events are split into. Information about which selection level you can expect for a certain night can always be found on our monthly overview, on the timetables, and in the event description (on Resident Advisor or Facebook)

Soft Selection:
Everyone is welcome as long as they are arriving in a responsible function (e.g. not being too intoxicated or unfriendly). Our door staff will still make sure that everyone who enters the club is being made aware of our policy.

Normal Selection:
Our door staff will curate the crowd to the extent they find necessary, and they and have an increased focus on the vibe and balance of the audience. On these nights we expect anyone who enters to have a basic knowledge about our policy.

Strict Selection:
Some nights require a careful consideration of the crowd. These are mainly kink-focused events, events with mandatory dress codes, or events that are intended for a specific audience. On nights with strict selection, please read all event info thoroughly to make the door situation as smooth as possible.
‍

For the safety of our guests and staff, we may find it necessary to deny entry without providing an explanation. This policy applies to all nights.

You can always reach out to the management before or after an event on awareness@denandenside.com with questions or concerns.

AWARENESS & CARE
‍
Awareness Team
The Awareness Team is at the club every weekend, identifiable by their bright green shirts labeled "AWARENESS." You can also reach them by contacting the door staff. If you feel unwell, unsafe, or are concerned about another guest, please contact the Awareness Team. They take all issues seriously, regardless of size.They handle a range of incidents, including harassment and mental health concerns, with a focus on dialogue and harm reduction. They also emphasize education and aftercare.

Darkroom
The darkroom at is for intimate play only. This is a highly sensitive area of the club and we require all guests to be respectful about the rules of using it. The darkroom rules can be found right outside of the entrance to the area. Our awareness staff do frequent check-ups in there and can choose to close off the area during the night if they find it unsafe to keep open (e.g. due to cases of rule-breech or lack of awareness resources available)

Health & accessibility
Remember to stay hydrated and take breaks. First aid supplies can be found by contacting the staff. Earplugs are available at the bar for 10 DKK. Be aware that the venue use flashing lights, and has multiple steps both inside and by entering/exiting.

VIOLATIONS & RESOLUTIONS
‍
Eviction and bans
Guests must speak with the door staff upon entry to ensure everyone are informed about our code of conduct and policies. Violating these policies can result in immediate eviction without a refund. Bans from the venue can also be issued in serious cases.
Please respect warnings and orders from our Awareness and Security staff and help them out by addressing violations if you notice any. If you speak up, it’s easier for us to act. We expect responsible consumption of substances; being caught in illegal drug use out in the venue can also result in eviction.

Resolution and feedback
We aim for a dialogue based and restorative resolution procedure, and serious incidents will be followed up on outside the club’s opening hours.
For door- or awareness-related reports or complaints, please reach out to management at awareness@denandenside.com
For general feedback, you can email us at contact@denandenside.com.
We aim to respond within 14 days and, if necessary, will engage in further dialogue to address the issue.
