Customer Reviews
Doesn't sell food so don't know why there is a waiting for food. Unless drinks class as food. Anyway good club fits about 200 people in there and when it's full it gets hot as it seems to be in a basement not quite sure but it's down stairs anyway. Good bouncers on the door. Good place to go for a night out. Only thing is you have to buy tickets online. But other than that Great place.
Even though I entered with my own drinks, i wasn’t allowed to leave with them. Even when questioned the bouncer said themselves it was a stupid rule.
Had a mint night at the bar, the staff and security were great… Aside from the bald Irish one who 1000% wanted an issue before the night started. I arrived on time without a ticket as my boyfriend was dj’ing so I’m his plus 1, I walked towards the door expecting to have to explain this and have my bag checked etc and he stopped me before I got close and said “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOURE GOING!!” But I explained and then walked in, this was unpleasant but not unexpected from a bouncer so whatever. Later in the night I went to smoke with my boyfriend, we were both obviously not sober at this point and he had walked out the wrong way and exited the smoking area. As I tried to usher him back into the smoking area the same bouncer came screaming at me that I was bringing a drink from another bar into this bar, forced me to put the drink on the floor while still screaming at me like an army Sargent as I was just trying to explain I’d brought my drink from inside and we were just trying to smoke. Essentially he missed us exiting and didn’t tell us to leave our drinks inside & didn’t stop us from leaving the smoking area so I was being shouted at for his own mishap? He screamed at me til I cried, I was very confused and was told I was talking to him rude but I couldn’t get a word in and really was afraid so was not being rude. The other bouncer and ticket guy witnessed this, both of those were great and stuck up for me. The ticket guy also agreed he saw me leave XLR with the drink so it was from inside Definitely has rage issues
