Normally great, on Friday, GREAT (was until 5am there) but today there was a creepy guy in the door who wouldn’t let alone girls in, not even if their friends were inside, unless they spent some time with “persuading” him. So disgusting for women, as for the girls we met there’re in the queue. We have been there lately but definitely never again. If we were back home we would have reported to the police today’s incident with that perturbing employee. I would like to punctualize that service inside is great (other occasions I had experience, but the chunky disturbing guy in the door today ruined it all.

Hi, I’d like to raise a concern regarding an incident at your venue on 11/06/26. I was with the person who was accused of throwing a glass from the balcony and can confirm that I did not see them throw anything. They repeatedly denied the allegation and asked staff to review the CCTV properly, but were still removed from the venue. Because of the way the situation was handled, I felt uncomfortable remaining in the club and decided to leave as well, which brought an early end to our night. From what I witnessed, the decision to remove them appeared to be based on a general description rather than clear identification. I would ask that this matter be investigated thoroughly, including a review of the CCTV footage and the actions of the staff involved. If it is confirmed that the wrong person was identified, I believe an apology would be appropriate. Thank you.

Very disappointed, we came last night and these security guards ruined our whole night. There was a group of 9 of us, 7 of us got let in and paid a £10 entry fee. They then denied entry of Two boys we were in the group with as they were “not looking gay enough”. They then continued to let in multiple other straight couples. When we asked for our £10 entry fees back they refused and were rude. Do not recommend at all!!

Went here for buff bingo night. All you can drink for 2 hours. It was terrible. All they offered was cheap fizz that was like paint stripper and a large jug of cranberry juice with only three shots of vodka in it. Absolute rip-off. The bingo was terrible just full of lewd childish remarks and another shitty cocktail if you won. Blatantly obvious they cared more about profit than customers. Only plus was we enjoyed the food.
