Folklor Club in Lausanne

The only underground club in Lausanne. Sharp electronic style, minimal electro. Relaxed atmosphere, all styles. Adult and respectful audience.

Best techno club, good vibe, family. Always safe and friendly, hiper quality bar service..🌚🪩. folklore 🤟🫶

A super dynamic team with great quality programming. We love collaborating with them and visiting them on site!

If you're looking for an underground electronic music venue featuring top-tier DJs and a pristine sound system, sprinkled with a lively atmosphere, look no further.

Very good and almost unique Lausanne club with a Berlin feel. Programming which often allows for great discoveries and a pleasant welcome at the bar. The prices remain correct overall (entrance and drinks).

Sunset Grooves warmly appreciates its collaboration with this almost unique club of its kind in Lausanne. His underground style has allowed our collective to organize evenings with incredible line-ups. Due to the welcome of the Folklor and its audience, each of our actions has a very good memory of it and so do we! Looking forward to seeing Sunset evenings again in this club.

Great club, great atmosphere, great staff and the most important… great music and sound system! Perfect location for a clubbing night in Lausanne 🪩

By far the best club in town! Great soundsystem, competent and attentive staff, fair price and always a good welcome, to be recommended without hesitation for fans of underground electronic music!

This underground club in Lausanne is like a hidden treasure in the heart of the city. Once you pass through its discreet doors, you enter a parallel world where music transcends borders and encounters are as colorful as the graffiti on the walls. It is the ideal place for free spirits, curious souls and lovers of authenticity. Get ready to dance the night away, discover emerging artists and create memories that will keep you smiling long after you leave this Lausanne nightlife sanctuary. A word of advice: let yourself be carried away by the energy and charm of this place, you will not regret it. Terribly Vaudois

Amazing club with a terrible sound system and nice selection of craft beers. I highly recommend

Club that is clearly worth the detour! Underground atmosphere with an incredible sound system as well as relevant programming. Not to mention that the owners and bartenders are very kind.

Since 2018 we have been organizing our evenings in this club which is the underground reference in French-speaking Switzerland. Never disappointed as organizers and those who follow our label look forward to every evening at Folklor!

Always a pleasure to spend my evenings in this club! Great welcome, top owners and staff, quality sound system and carefully adjusted, underground atmosphere!

Magnificent club, represents the underground scene of Lausanne!

Folklore club is the best musical and clubing experience in Lausanne and French-speaking Switzerland and what's more, top-notch staff and quality programming....in short, a Berlin in Lausanne..!!! 😍

It’s the underground club par excellence in Lausanne. Always well received, always a pleasure to go there to mix or to have a good time 😉❤️🙏🏼

Superb club, good atmosphere, good choice of music.

The best of the best!! If you want to listen to underground music this is the place to be!!!!

the best underground club in Lausanne, great friendly crew and line up very interesting with local and international artists, don't miss this if you are in Lausanne !

Le Folklor is one of the best email addresses in Lausanne, cult places in the city. Sure musical value for people who need to let off steam and incredible sound! Without the unfailingly friendly staff. 5 Stars!!!

Folklor is always fun, some memorable nights behind those walls! It has a solid sound system, great underground DJs and a dedicated team behind the bar and club. The best in Lausanne hands down.

Really great club! Big atmosphere and no “fuss”. Top programming with cutting-edge international artists. The sound system is a pleasure and the staff are very cool and competent. Thank you 🙌

Best club in Lausanne without hesitation! Incredible programming, great cocktail, crazy atmosphere!

Best club in Lausanne. A club made for music lovers and run by good people.

The guy at the entrance is the only thing I'd change in this place... Unfriendly and really rough.

Great box! Friendly and competent staff! Good music !

The music is very good, nothing to highlight BUT the smells, the consumption of illicit products and above all the treatment of the security leaves a lot to be desired. They should take a look at what's going on in the bathroom instead of treating me like a criminal for taking off my shirt.

very good music but extremely heavy male population, a bit of a shame in 2023

New security no respect especially file security

Too much to say... Just avoid it!

It was really bad, I had a bad evening. Be careful with the staff, slightly aggressive….

Boss, Mr. Thierry Namer, horribly contemptuous towards a customer brutalized by his security guards, to the point that he lost consciousness and found himself dragged without any care to the top of a service staircase, his back against the steps , and copiously insulted by his “security” agents. Did not want to know anything about the complaints of this customer, brutalized for the sole reason that he was “sleeping on a chair”. Don't go there: for 20.- the entrance price, it's clearly not worth it...

Bouncers who think they can do anything

A quality sound system, programming that gives locals the chance to perform at home. Well-made Gins…we want more!

Top club. Good sound. And authentic underground atmosphere The team of DJs Dymos & Shizzo Rimbu and of course Jay Fase are huge!!!

Terrible club, it lets anyone in, from a yoga gurl to a tramp with flip-flops. Select your clientele if you want to play it berghain. Notice to the boss, we must inform the social security that we are not in D! It’s normal if there are people who come alone to a so-called underground and tolerant place…. Ps: if you still want to go, don't forget that your drinks are deposited because the bartenders don't mind not giving you change.

Best techno club in Lausanne <3

Shame, you pay money You can't go out, you don't consume

Very bad, you pay 15 francs, they don't give you a drink, then you can't go out. A place where I would never return

I was harassed and beated up by the BARTENDER for no reason! Not a safe place

Great club and great vibe. Disregard old comments

September 3, 2022, early evening ok, until Dora Pan takes charge, excellent set! The club is great, the sound is good even without speakers at the back of the room. Yes the price of drinks is high but not more than elsewhere. I prefer selective doormen to dancing next to big guys, I'm thinking especially of the girls, yes we can't take photos but after all we don't come to the club to take selfies. What happens at Folklor stays at Folklor and that’s so much the better. Lots of haters in the comments, the programming is good.

Special mention to the social security who takes out the annoying guys who come to stick up the girls <3

Staff at the entrance very aggressive, it's like they don't want you to come in.

Good underground music. Very expensive drinks and the staff at the entrance are very temperamental and sensitive. Attention !

Very good evening, good atmosphere In the top

The reception at the checkout is deplorable, looked down on, no smile, you have the impression of being cattle... Ultra expensive price for an arrival at 3 a.m.... To be avoided

Club where you feel good as long as you like the underground side. The music is good. Disregard comments posted several years ago. Non-paying toilets, good reception, cloakroom not obligatory...

Place more up to date, choice of music more than questionable. Smoking area adjacent to the dancefloor: a heresy

Money stolen from the bar by a waiter. Fact admitted after confrontation, with the bosses. No logical explanation other than laughter and disdain. From the bosses. There is no possible misunderstanding of the facts. After 15 years of support, love and joy, just a disappointment that confirms everything else.

The must for electro evenings in Loz

Really cool music, and the bouncer was also really chill. I do hate the fact that the smoking area is literally a small box inside of the club, right by the dancefloor. And obviously the door is never closed so it's as if you were back in 2005 inside of a smoking night club. Terrible unless you love feeling asphyxiated. Also there is no area for you to go out and get some fresh air. So maybe if you bring an oxygen tank you can make it to the end of the night.

Very good atmosphere and great music but the music is really too loud from 5am… it’s painful

This club practices the 2G rule and therefore excludes a part of the population which is far healthier by being tested than vaccinated people carrying the virus. They participate in and fuel this system of separation between people. I'm not congratulating you collaborators!

No, and no, it’s definitely a place to avoid!

eh mainly the vibe was wack where people would push u a lot, in a basement too so the service is kinda not great and not much space. layout is weird and coat rack line is on a staircase. 6 chf water 2chf coat check 3 chf sirop. pretty normal for a swiss club. had mall gran show up so that was cool tho

Evening of 11/26/2021, 2 notes of 50 less on exit while wallet left in the jacket in the cloakroom. Written on different networks and to the boss live on Instagram, no feedback. Don't leave anything lying around in the locker room, advice.

Wow! what a sound... great people! love to thierry

Scandal atmosphere, vandal dance

shame on you guys...zero stars!!

The “underground” business still has a bright future ahead of it.

Unpleasant staff, overpriced entry and consumption and above all pathetic ethics and communication. To avoid.

20.- entry at 5:00 a.m., seriously!? I don't know if it's because of Covid 19, but get over it, it's a scandal!!!

Great reopening evening, I really had fun!

So a nice scam: the glasses and bottles are returned 1.- but a waiter spends his time collecting the empty glasses and bottles. In the blink of an eye, your glass and therefore your deposit is gone. The staff constantly "forgets" to give you the deposit but not to charge you when you buy a drink. Entrance is VERY expensive. The music is quite good and the place too, too bad it's just a soulless business.

Unmissable Underground club in Lausanne, festive atmosphere and groove electronic music I recommend ❤️

We are a group of 7. We pay the entrance fee even though there is no one there, we almost get attacked for consuming... the staff are really unfriendly and aggressive. We went out and went somewhere else. Last time.

One of the best Techno clubs in the region (see the country). The Musique And Dance next door is “Cat Pee”. Here at least, Monsieur Pipi is super cool! In short, if you are a big fan of Berlin Techno, go there without hesitation! I don't give 5 stars (even if it deserves) because the prices of the beers are quite expensive in my opinion. Certainly we are in Lausanne, but when we compare with the competition (which also have free entry, Bleu Lézard, Buzz), we will still be able to do lower.

Very good programming but the setting is not great

Paid toilets despite already paying entry (10chf).

Good disco but paying to be able to go to the toilet throughout the evening is excessive! To believe that they are trying to make a profit on everything

Avoid at all costs!! Unsanitary and paying toilets, bartenders deliberately scam customers repeatedly. I will never set foot there again.

Glasses returned to the Bar. Most servers do not return the deposit unless they insist. The bouncer quickly picks up the glasses lying around. Funny mentality!

I have never been so charmed by the horizontal smile of a locker room gentleman, love

The inability to go out to smoke or even get some fresh air is really a problem in this establishment. To know; Entrance is cheaper during the week and the price increases after midnight. The atmosphere is pretty good after 1h30 but it all depends on the evening!

Big drop in quality recently, lousy welcome, waiters who are angry, haughty bouncers, paying cloakroom, overpriced entry, we regret the hive but see you this evening for the Main Mise at all lol

lousy, incompetent security, glasses of water for 5CHF, obligatory locker room, impossible to go out even if only to get some fresh air, a devilish smoking room inside, in short a good cocktail of really not great stuff for a clearly overpriced club ..

Mandatory cloakroom when entry is already quite expensive, services frankly not great and absolutely terrible smoking room and impossibility of smoking outside. I do not recommend this place... nothing to do with the hive unfortunately

Losing momentum... great at the beginning with a Ruche feel but since the spring it has become a mainstream club, the managers let their friends in but where has the underground spirit gone... always the same tech house djs premises or the historical network, no innovation, too bad the place is great but the sound system is underused and not the good DJs... we will have to raise the level, not Berlin or Zürich who wants! Oh yes and put some candles or light signs on the damn stairs...

Disappointed ! Entrance really too strict for a club that calls itself underground. I felt disrespected, I hate it when people judge the customer. Boss who demands impeccable attire even on Wednesdays and Thursdays when entry is 5.- I find it really not commercial and not at all nice. I much prefer other clubs like Romandie where you come as you are and where no judgment is made. what

Nice place to go out despite the slightly expensive entry price, plus an overpriced changing room.

Top-notch decoration, mediocre welcome and charging for entry at almost 4 a.m.... average... otherwise top-notch music and service too.

The Hive staff moved here. Electronic music for connoisseurs. I like it

Overpriced, full smoking room, very unfriendly or even unpleasant staff

40min wait at the locker room for entry AND exit

Very good techno/house music. However maybe a little expensive

The music is very good and the atmosphere nice BUT 15chf entry, cloakroom at 3chf MANDATORY and no credit card at the bar before 15chf so if you want to go soft this evening while for you. In short, we're in Lausanne, guys, not in Berlin!!! You guys seem too "fussy", especially if you want the "underground" reputation as some people stipulate in the comments.

A discovery for me who has lived in Lausanne for a long time. Very nice atmosphere and you have to come after 11 p.m. because there are not many people before.

Great club, great atmosphere, excellent techno music, I recommend (be careful - 21 years old)
