Distrikt

I’ve been to Distrikt a few times now, and honestly, the past few times have been extremely unsettling for me and have really made me reconsider if I ever want to go back. I’ve recognized a pattern of my female friends being targeted, getting their drinks spiked by some of creeps (that seem to frequent the club to leer at the younger women), and then getting kicked out by security for being “too drunk” when clearly they are under the influence of more than just the few drinks we had. This practice of separating girls (or anyone for that matter) from their friends and not even letting them get their coat or anything from coat check, and sending them out on the street on their own in a sketchy area to fend for themselves when they are clearly in need of aid (and have clearly been drugged!! But are treated like it is their own fault) is absolutely appalling. I don’t understand how this practice has been allowed and not considered negligent.Basically if you are going to go to this club, do NOT go alone and always be extremely wary. The people that work there do not care about you and only care about making money. The security is not there to protect you. They do not kick out the creeps, and it is highly unlikely that they are oblivious to the fact people are being drugged right under their noses.

Despite the bad reviews and past bad reputation this club has; I think it’s the most fun club we’ve got in Victoria. It’s for younger people, who like to party and get drunk and make friends and spend money. I’ve been clubbing here for a year now and I’ve switched from Upstairs to Distrikt. I’ve never had a bad experience at this club, unless it were to be from the occasional creep but security is always quick to deal with any problems inside the club.

Only popular with people who are barely legally adults. It has an awful atmosphere. Constant groping by drunk, predatory young men and it is not policed at all. It feels really unsafe here, and unwelcoming, even when I was old enough to be interested in going here (and I aged out at like 19 and a half).

My friend and I recently visited this club while on a trip. The cover charge was very reasonable and so were drink prices. We got there around 11:30 and stayed till nearly closing time. It was packed and fun the whole time. The DJ played lots of popular music that was enjoyable, mostly mixes. The lighting and smoke affects on the dance floor are cool and there are layers to the dance floor so if you don't like the crunch there are other options.It is mostly for the younger generation. I saw very few people older than their 20's so not the place to visit if your older. Overall a fun place. my friend can't wait to go back and it was her favorite part of the whole trip.

This club is hit or miss, if you go with friends its 'okay', but the music is way too loud and its also not that great. On top of that it gets really hot and sweaty because there is no ventilation. At least it's free to UVIC students which is its saving grace.

Definitely not the best club I’ve ever been to, but as far as clubs in Victoria goes you can expect a pretty standard time at Distrikt. Very highly reoccurring crowd at this club on the weekendDrink prices are decent

The club itself is decent, but the drinks are somewhat on the pricier side, and it can get pretty gnarly around closing time. No one likes to watch people sit and puke in the gutter.

My first time ever at Distikt was this passed Saturday night to see the Wailer's! The music was so so fun but the toxic masculinity by bouncers on a power trip set the night off on a bad foot. I decided to not buy drinks and left immediately after the band finished. Bad vibes!

This club has potential, it is a nice venue but there is definitely some racism. The short, blonde bouncer at the door was literally only asking people of color for two pieces of identification. I witnessed it happen to multiple people. I had to walk back to my hotel to get a second piece, despite giving him my Canadian passport. He did not ask my white husband the same, however. I legit was trying to brush it off but it was clearly racism as he did not ask any white people in the line for two pieces of id, however there was a black man in front of me that also got asked for two ids. Coming from Toronto, this behaviour was completely discouraging...I've never been asked for a second piece of id... from bars on King St to all the way in Amsterdam.

The establishment is pretty nice. The bouncers are typically nice and fair going as long as you are a respectful human being. My one grip is the counter people that will try to gouge you for as much as you got to just get in. *be aware*. It unfortunately puts a spin on the experience and makes you on edge for the rest of the night.
