Tuftuf calls itself not just a club, but a mood spot: cocktail bar plus dance floor combined. You start the evening with dinner somewhere in town, but by 9 p.m. you slide on over to Tuftuf - your coat is already hanging there, the DJ is spinning, and the space slowly transforms from drinks spot to dance floor.

The venue is small enough to be intimate, but big enough to create an energetic evening. The setting is glamorous meets relaxed: dimmed lights, disco ball, a stylish bar and spaces where you can talk without shouting, as well as places where you go wild to the beats.
Musically, Tuftuf goes for versatility: funk, disco, house, depending on who is spinning that night. The goal is danceable without becoming extremely clubby; more "nice dancing with friends" than "busy party." The crowd composition reflects that: mostly over-25s, locals who want to hang out after dinner, people who aren't necessarily used to clubs but want something energetic for the late night.
The drink menu also supports that: quality cocktails, good wine, spirits with good mixers. No club prices (at least not absurd), but a place where you appreciate your drink. Service is attentive, not over the top but you feel the team understands what atmosphere means.
"Tuftuf is that place where the evening slowly shifts from glass to dance - without changing addresses."
What sets Tuftuf apart is the transition: nowhere do you feel you have to go to a different kind of place. You stay in the same space, but the vibe changes. Your dining spot automatically becomes a dance floor without having to change your gait. For locals, this is ideal: no need to get lost late between clubs, Tuftuf is close by and feels like a second living room.
