Bar Broadway

Absolutely unacceptable experience organising a hen party at Bar Broadway. I started contacting them in November to book for February and had to repeatedly chase just to get basic confirmation. Communication was slow and disorganised. Emails were slow, and Instagram was the only way I could get a response from them. On 3rd January, my partner and I travelled from London and went into the venue in person to sort the booking, only to be told to message them on Facebook instead. The message wouldn’t deliver and we were told there was nothing else they could do — despite us standing there. The worst part? Less than 24 hours before the hen do, I was told the upstairs karaoke space was no longer available due to a last-minute private hire. Private hire was NEVER discussed with me as an option during the months of organising, yet clearly it was always possible. Had this been made clear, I would have secured it properly. Instead, a key part of the bride’s planned evening was pulled with barely any notice, leaving us with no real choice the day before. For a venue that markets itself around events, this level of organisation and communication is shocking. I would not trust them with an important group booking again.

Amazing Day for my friends Hen do! Maya the bar women was amazing and running round all over the place! The drag acts were fabulously hilarious and really interactive with the audience! Food wasn’t amazing but the drinks were flowing and always filled up! Would highly recommend for a good drag day/night out! I’ve told everyone about this place and we will be booking in the very near future!

Booked a drag bottomless brunch for my friends birthday, paid £88 for the package which included the acts, food and drink for 2 hours. the drag acts were fun however the cocktail didn’t taste like they had any alcohol in them so ended up paying for bottle of bubbles, then they said the kitchen has had a health and safety issue so no food will be served. We were starving so left to have dinner. Not the experience I paid for, so very disappointed and ended but being a costly night due to them not delivering. I’ve mailed them FOUR times to request a refund - I’ve had zero response.

Unsettling environment, made to feel uncomfortable by the doorman, as we were finding the entrance we were shouted at by a man drinking a can of beer and sat on some steps about 10 metres away, my friend and I have then walked into the bar and walked to the other side of the venue out of panic. The man drinking the beer (red strip) has followed us in and spoken to the bartender - my friend went to clear the air as she realised it was the doorman, tried to explain that as women, being shouted at by a man that we cannot recognise is terrifying, however the bartender told us we were too drunk and had to leave. We were not drunk by any means and my friend that was visiting really wanted to try out this bar unfortunately all we were greeted by was an unsafe environment to then become freaked out by being shouted at by a drunk doorman who had no viable sign of being said “doorman” we were told leave so we did, as we didn’t want to be kept in unsafe environment. Please fix this issue as being a younger female the doormen should be looking for safety not causing harm.
