Takens judgement report
5 star certification by Club Judge
De provincie Overijssel mag zich gelukkig prijzen met een veelzijdig uitgaanscentrum als Takens in Balkbrug. Het complex telt maar liefst zes zalen waar verschillende muziekstijlen worden gedraaid. Genoeg keus lijkt het zo. De zaterdag is de avond dat Takens standaard is geopend, maar voor speciale evenementen gaan de deuren ook op vrijdag open. Zo kunnen bezoekers onder de 16 jaar terecht bij de speciale Teenage Disco. Verder staan er regelmatig bekende dj’s en acts op het podium. Daarmee is Takens de trots van Overijssel.
