Well just happened upon this bar and had a great night. Karaoke was fun, it was busy and everyone was dancing. The bar staff were great and the drinks were cheap!..I unfortunately left my bag behind🤦🏻♀️..but they found it all intact. When I contacted them to make enquiries it was handled promptly and they got my bag returned to me by post. They couldn’t have been more helpful. There was a good crowd of people in the night we went, all different sorts of songs and music played, no problems and everyone was dancing and having fun. I would recommend and thanks to the staff.Oscar Qualter

My experience at this club was nothing short of appalling, and I feel compelled to warn others about its grossly unsafe practices and unprofessional security team.Firstly, the security personnel demonstrated a complete inability to handle incidents appropriately. A middle-aged man shoved a young woman into a wall right in front of their eyes, yet the bouncers failed to respond for a full five minutes. Their delayed reaction to such a clear act of aggression endangered the safety of everyone in the venue and showed an alarming lack of training or concern.When they finally did intervene, the issue was resolved in an utterly incompetent and nonsensical manner. Not only were the actions of the aggressor effectively ignored, but the staff also refused to provide their names or identification when asked, which violates basic accountability standards.The most concerning part was how I was treated when I raised concerns. Despite peacefully stating that I would leave and suggesting police involvement due to their mishandling of the situation, the bouncers physically removed me from the club without valid cause. This was an unjustified use of force and could easily be classified as an assault under common law, given that they had no legal grounds to act in this manner once I had agreed to leave. Their actions were grossly disproportionate and far exceeded what could be considered “reasonable force” under the law.Specifically, the acting head of security, who had absolutely no clue on the legalities of the situation and instead of managing the situation, sat in the corner and filled an “incident report out” , the report first of all was written in comic sans and it looked like a little child doing colouring in rather than effectively gathering information. I’ve never written a strong review before, but he specifically was pathetic.There was no safeguard check in any of the victims of assault who were CLEARLY vulnerable.The environment created by such a negligent and aggressive approach to security makes this club an incredibly unsafe place to spend an evening. If this is how they handle incidents involving violence, I dread to think how they’d react in more serious situations.For anyone considering going to this club—don’t. Your safety is not a priority here, and the security staff are both incompetent and unprofessional. I’ll be escalating this incident further and encouraging others to avoid supporting a venue that allows such behavior.Mike Brown

Nice bouncers (don’t ask 1000 questions about where you’ve been before hand etc (like a certain club I won’t name around the corner, much smaller club than the other (not to be named club round the corner) but 1000x better club, staff and bouncersRichard Waddington

Door staff are absolutely clueless, management not willing to speak to you. Honestly absolute shambles of an establishmentPatrick Hlipinski

Only ever been there once but from what I remember (I Blacked Out) it was a very nice atmosphere and the staff was friendly and approachable. Not rude also the entertainment was fun.Alex Thornton (AJ)

Bar staff are friendly and attentive, good banter from the drag queens but not a fan of karaoke bars that just cut peoples songs from the list. So long as they're not inappropriate I don't really see the issue. It just ruins it for people going there looking to have a go on the karaokeDrees van der Linden

Went in around 12ish, was quiet. I began to order a drink for my self, a vodka cranberry SINGLE, and the bartender tried charging me £8something. i was asked to leave after being flabbergasted and turned down the drink. i highly recommend going somewhere else! I went to a different club that served me a vodka cranberry DOUBLE for cheaper.Cluck Rad

Toilets are diabolical...floor wet through EVERYWHERE. I know it's a toilet but the stench was shocking! Mixed communal toilets! Apart from that the drag dj was brilliant and music very good (although it was £12 for a double brandy, had 2 pick me up off the floor 🤣🤣Sam B

For no reason whatsoever, denied entry by door security. Aggressively told that "no lonely men" would be allowed in, despite the rest of my party being inside the same venue. The door security continued to chat with his friends in a different language for some time with no interest for the job he'd been employed for, to ensure safety of those inside. Terrible management and disgraceful approach to an "all inclusive" environment.Aaron Holmes-Doyle

Me and my friend popped in here for a drink on the walk back to the hotel on a casual Monday night after we had dinner elsewhere. The atmosphere to start was a bit questionable, but the dragqueen quickly lifted the spirits. She was an amazing singer and was very good with everyone that was in. One drink turned into being out till half 3 at night. The karaoke was brilliant and such a laugh. The venue, although small, made real use out of the space. The drinks have a decent price £20 for 2 double spiritsand such a wide varietyof spirits etc... Later in the night, the atmosphere picked up and was 10/10. The service was quick, friendly, and amazing. I couldn't fault the place. What an amazing night. Good drinks and good company!! May have lost my glasses therethough 😉Greg Frain

You're not allowed in here as a single person, which seems absurd but apparently that's their policy. Didn't seem particularly busy so I figure those two things are related.Amy-leigh Holland

Amazing atmosphere, Ben and Johnny are amazing bar staff, the queen is unreal! Absolute vibe!!! We love this place. We will be back! Guys, thank you for the your hospitality!! You're awesome!CRASH

I've been here a few times and each time the place is generally very messy, lots of liquids all over the floor and the bathrooms are horrific. Plus I was offered cocaine by a dealer going round with no problem and the people can be creepy. Overall I don't like this bar, the music is good but the place is so dirty and off putting it ruins the vibe.Bruno

I went last night ,waited more than 5 min and nothing, the bar wasn't busy,the people(4 behind the bar) didn't care of having customers, they were just talking ,i asked to serve me but nothing ....i left without having a drink...LEWIS R

Reps say it is ok for a group of 6men to get in, yet the bouncer refused entry. Been in before too and the mic cut out, ended night. AmateurKaren Smith

Staff are friendly and fun. Loved karaoke but backing track overpowers your voice. Karaoke hosts were fun and had a laugh with youSamuel Chesters

I do get messy in here but if the bouncer does touch me again I will smack him but it’s good for gear and fat birds so give it a 2 star. Prawn signing outMairóviskis Maíra

Everything is amazing. Staff is great, drinks… but the security…. They have the best security of all times! Especially Muhammad Arfan and Syed!! Well done guys!Alex Simpson

Absolutely amazing and inclusive place, the drag queen working helped me and my partner who is blind through the place and up the stairs, took our bags and looked after us - I wish I got their name so I could thank them personallyEllie

Cub eva was a great place but I did the bartender a favour by purchasing a drink that someone else did not pay for and he charged me double for the drink when I later questioned him on this he would not refund me or even give me another drink equal in value. I will not be coming here again due to this experience which is a shame as I loved coming here on a Saturday evening and this experience has ruined it for me I will definitely not be back and I recommend to anyone else if you don’t want to get scammed to not go to this venue, I do not often review places but when they scam me like this i feel it is only fair to warn others.I was sober during this experience so was able to notice this but I am sure if you arrive drunk they will take advantageof you all night long.Patrick Marks

Visited this bar 22/23 April and was discriminated against by the door staff as I tried to enter alone??The doorman told me I couldn't enter as they had a "no single person entry" policy??I informed the door staff that this was discrimination which was illegal and produced my ID card which indicated my professional vocation in anti discrimination?the doormans brother,who was within earshot persuaded him to allow me entry(on production of my ID card)this was obviously very humiliating for the doorman as this proved he,and your club were acting illegally in the first place which is very hypocritical given the previous and correct stance taken by gay and black people been discriminated against?However,credit where due to the doormans brother,and the hardworking bar staff in the clubLauren Williams

Be careful when going to EVA, I was in there 5 minutes and I was spiked. What ever was used on me made me violently sick and completely loose all memory for 24 hours, luckily I was with friends but I was nearly hospitalised. Security bearly check bags never mind IDs.Stefan Petrie

The first anti-straight bar I've ever been in! Never been treated like a second class citizen as much as here. Avoid if straightOlivia

Good night out with friendly staff and good entertainment, the drink prices were quite high but I could just be used to cheaper prices because I’m not from around here. The toilets are unisex which I don’t have an issue with however they’re absolutely disgusting, the floors are soaked and half of the taps don’t work but other than that it’s a fun place to go and karaoke is always interestingHannah TG

Would be a good night out but there's a guy behind the bar (Tyler?) Who is a total scammer. Menus on the bar stating 2 espresso martinis for £10. Ordered 2 and got charged £15. When I pointed this out he claimed there were two different types of espresso martinis, and he'd assumed I'd wanted the more expensive one (despite holding the menu) then he stropped off.JoeGW 420

Could do with a little refurb. I drop in Eva now and then as I have had some brilliant nights in here over the years, not had many post pandemic though, seems quiet most of the time. A real shame. I hope for the sake of my very fuzzy and drunken memories this establishment returns to a glory it once had.Alexandra Atkins

Absolutely shocking places. The security staff were so overly aggressive and rude entirely without reason. One of the worst places in the village.Donna Bradshaw

Brilliant night dj down stairs and amazing funny girls on upstairs. Was the friendliest place we visited would 100% revisit ..lizzy Smith

Had a great night here. Fun and cheap. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Even though the aircon was stolen everyone was still having fun and laughing through the sweat.Would be 5 stars if the toilets were better. Needs someone in to clean/check them every 20 minutes or designated cubicles to women/transwomen/nonbinary etc and cubicles to men/transmen/nonbinary etc and have the sinks shared. As a women it wasn’t very pleasant having wee over the floor and seats 😬Alex Bond Official

Brillaint night out just v hot due air con being broke. Toilets stunk of urine which I was speaking to a woman outside and she rightly said if they arenunisex you would expect them to be ALOT cleaner than that. You could smell them from upstairsluca Dedici

It's ok for a laugh and a drink... However the village is a dodgy place full with crime and druggies so I tend to avoid these daysMaria P

We had a great time in here last night! The staff are absolutely lovely and everyone was up dancing 💃🏼 Great cocktails too!Adye Dee

I'll have to start with a negative and remove a star solely for the toilets. This place definitely wins the award for Foulest Toilets in all the land. Absolutely disgusting and they stunk to the point of being unusable for me personally. Now onto the positives- all the staff including the door men were very friendly and the music in the downstairs bar was great. Also it was nice to find a bar where the drink prices weren't extortionate, plus I visited on a Saturday night and they were open until 6 am,which was good.Charging just £3 for entry.

What wonderful friendly bar. It was Monday so wasn't busy. But they had music and karaoke. The people serving was nice. The person performing was entertaining. Definitely a good night to have. I will definitely visit againBernard Cass

The staff are friendly and fantastic and the place is always pumped full of people having a great time enjoying the music and atmosphere & the drinks are great and not expensive (no more than any other place) I have a great time here every time I get to come around and I would love to see you there enjoying yourselfHollie Robinson

Amazing bar. Was quiet when we entered but was only early! Was a great atmosphere once full and all the staff were friendly. Had a very good night and would recommend!Esme Butcherd

Very odd bar, and even odder club. Looked good from outside, so £6 entry seemed okay.However definitely not worth paying for what was an incredibly weird vibe both in the upstairs bar, and even weirder vibe in the downstairs club, with pretty awful 'music'. Also the drinks tasted weird?? There was absolutely something off with the vodka lemonade, but we couldn't work out what (it wasn't the post mix running out). Even the gin and soda tasted a bit odd.All around just a strange place with weird vibes - would give a miss.Lucy Finn

Had a really lovely time here and I ended up leaving my phone. The staff found the phone whilst cleaning and tried to contact me. They kept the phone until I showed up to collect it and they were very relieved that I turned up. They asked me to verify the phone was mine by fingerprint and that's it.The staff were very genuine and respected covid measures throughout my experience.Can't wait to return once everything opens up properly. 🥰
