Disgusting treatment tonight by bouncers assaulting young women. Targeting us for being the people who aren’t white and shoving / manhandling women. The manager dismissed all concerns and treated us disgracefully, refusing refunds after aggressive behaviour. Do not support this business

No longer a safe space for queer people. Expect to get assaulted if you're a female, and expect the staff to do absolutely nothing about it or better yet, it be the staff that ruin your night by being openly hostile. Would feel safer in a straight club now, which is saying something. A shame that it seems that money comes before looking after your clientele.

Don’t go here if you are a girl, the staff don’t care about their safety at all, my friend got raped here and they did nothing to help. the bouncers are vile, shoving people and the staff couldn’t care less if your spiked. As a “gay club” i’m extremely surprised and disappointed.

Went last night just before 3, wasn’t allowed in because of my joggers. I know full well this place doesn’t have a dress code. Was told all clubs have dress codes (bollocks) absolutely appalled as all my friends got in and I had to go home. Totally ruined my night and quite frankly the bouncers are an absolute disgrace. I have since checked and I cannot find any evidence of a so called dress code. And mind you there were people there wearing far worse outfits than me (onesie’s, miniskirt and I think I even saw a tutu) absolute disgusted by this completely ruined my night, I’m still so upset over the way I was treated, and frankly a disgrace doesn’t even begin to it to describe it. I want to know why I was clearly discriminated against, for what I have no idea. But your website says “fancy dress encouraged” and like I said I saw far worse.

Absolutely disgusting service, got refused entry because my straight friend (I’m gay) stated he wasn’t gay when they specifically said it was a gay bar. Owner proceeded to use foul language and call us names after purely stating it wasn’t an all inclusive place and that the atmosphere wasn’t worth it if they were going to decline people for simply not being gay and having gay friends. Disgusting and horrible behaviour from all staff involved. Doesn’t deserve a licence, a name or a reputation.
