A club that's been running for 20 years
The Overside Gentleman Club has held its spot in downtown Saint-Denis since 2004. It was Jean-Charles Manier who opened this American-style bar combined with a gentlemen's club, a formula that has carved out its place in Reunion Island's nightlife scene.
People come here as much for a drink as for the show. The venue presents itself as a mix between a lounge bar and a striptease club, with a lineup of pole dance and dancers performing in an atmosphere that's more hushed than rowdy.
Who it's for, and for which occasions
The place welcomes single men just as much as couples, and access is reserved for adults aged 18 and up. That's worth noting: unlike many clubs of this kind designed solely for a male audience, Overside prides itself on a mixed clientele that comes as duos.
Nights out with friends, bachelor parties and birthdays are among the occasions for which the club is regularly chosen. The venue cultivates an image as a place where sensuality is lived out without being uptight, nor too crude either.
Hours and atmosphere on site
The hours change depending on the day, which is worth noting before heading over. On Monday, it's open from 9pm to midnight. From Tuesday to Friday, the club runs from 9pm to midnight, then reopens from midnight to 2am. On Saturday, there are also two slots: 10pm to midnight and midnight to 2am. On Sunday, only the midnight to 2am slot is running.
This split into two sessions, rather than one continuous opening, creates two different moods within the same night: a calmer first stretch early on, and a second stretch after midnight where the atmosphere heats up with the DJ.
What regulars say
Feedback on the club highlights a welcoming vibe and attentive service, far from the sometimes cold image this type of venue can carry. The music and setting are mentioned as strong points, along with the venue's knack for adapting to groups who've come to celebrate a specific occasion.
In guides dedicated to Reunion Island's nightlife, Overside comes up regularly as a go-to spot for anyone looking for an evening with this kind of show on the island. A place that has clearly managed to keep its clientele coming back over the years, rather than betting on constant turnover.
