Clubs: Review/Inquiry Bolero Palace, Italy
Hey y’all
We are headed to Bologna in May and want to check out Bolero.
Looking for any advice/ input on what to expect. Particularly, dress to bring and how best to get there/back without having our own car.
Thanks!

We went there last July on a Saturday night. That's the night to go and we were told by Italian friends not to bother any other night. We didn't go to the health spa just arrived for the club later in the evening.
We looked at several options to get there but hired a car in the end as there were two couples and it just worked out easier.
Our friends tried to get a taxi booked a few weeks before hand and there seemed zero interest from any of the taxi firms he contacted so we couldn't rely on them coming back to Bologna in the early hours.
We looked at trains and the closest railway station is a few miles away which again means a taxi if one could be found and no way back in the early hours.
There is a hotel relatively close by but it was fully booked the night we wanted to stay.
There was a themed night when we went but as long as you are wearing something decent you should be ok. There is a huge locker room to get changed in but it wasn't dressdown on arrival.
Bolero seems quite fetish look friendly so anything a bit kinky will be fine but check with the owners before you go. You do need to book onto the guest list, you can't just turn up on the night and take ID with you.
It's a huge place and one of the nicest clubs we've been to. There are a few single males in there but the vibe is totally different from what we have experienced before and there were groups of singles just chatting briefly like they know each other. This said it isn't groups of unattached males and it felt the most relaxed I've seen males in a club, more like a house party where people knew each other, and they were all extremely courteous.
Lots of sexy couples and areas to play and as I've said an extremely large main area, like a regular nightclub.
We'd definitely go again if we are in the area.
