I went there on last friday and thouroughly enjoyed it, dont know what you are on about. The crowd was good, the music was good, didnt really have much to do with the door staff and I saw Leona Lewis. Would definitely go again.
After reading the bad reviews, I was sceptic about the club, but it turned out to be a great night out.

This club has not got anything special to offer besides silly girls looking for money and stuck up guys. Oh, I forgot the stupid security guards. The worst bouncers ever!
Abolutly fantastic venue, I have been here week in week out for the past 3 or 4 weeks and it is one of the best clubs in London at the moment. The decor and crystals hanging from the ceiling are amazing and the mini dance stages which glow and change colour are definitly a photo opportunity! The atmosphere is electric most nights!
The doorstaff are very friendly and are always helpful and accomodating, the toilet lady is especially friendly!! The crowd in there (with one or two exceptions) is very easy going, attractive and normal, no one looks down on anyone else which is very rare in the West End.
I would definitly recommend this club, although the music can be a bit dodgy at times.
After having guest list confirmed by Francesca on the door and turning up at the door around 12am on a Friday night. Two guys (myself and my work colleague) were refused entry. What was insulting is the girl said our names weren't on the list when she didn't even look at the guest list in front of her. I showed her the confirmation email on my iPhone and she didn't even look at it.
Both my colleague and I, were dressed in suits and ready to spend a lot of money in Crystal. After speaking to a few people who have had similar experiences they all said that if you weren't a certain type i.e. middle class & white then you didn't have a chance of getting in.
Clubs like this shouldn't be in business, ruined a great night. Stay well clear. The cab driver on the way home told me that we weren't the first person that had been refused entry for no reason whatsoever and said the club has lost its edge and was going downhill.
What a shame - some club owners don't have the basic understanding to hire good door staff.
My cousin was in town from abroad & we thought we'd go to a cool, hip club on Sat night so Crystal popped into mind. Managed to get on the guest list okay but was asked twice if the crowd was mixed: guys & girls. (& yes we were 3 girls & 2 guys)
We were told to get there early & we did at 11pm & the place was empty... there was a group of old-ish voluptuous ladies celebrating a hen party, going wild, dancing everywhere (not a great sight!). Lots of house music & wanna-be models & female socialites came in for another hr or so until the warm up DJ finished his set & another DJ came on. He played a good mix of house, incorporated some R&B tunes & even a few arabic songs. The crowd was semi-happening. Predominantly rich men in their 30's, 40's & 50's with girls trying to get their attention - gold diggers as they say. The staff behind the bar were rude but I wasn't surprised because I had been warned.
The toilets were cool... marble & the lady attending the Ladie's toilets was very welcoming - ironically enough!
As a whole, I probably wouldn't go there again. It just seemed too pretentious & not great value for money (their rose wine was crap!). Even though the music was alright, I am sure you can getter better music elsewhere. It's just one of those places that you go once to try out & never go back.
Friends bday, got in without too much trouble as was on the guestlist... But £20 to get aint cheap. Music was a bit crap - DJ was band, i would have done a better job but people aren't there for the music. Infact if im gona be honest I got absolutely battered, pulled a couple of girls and was ona rampage with my to mates who never go to these pretentious west end venues. I got done for going in the VIP area, wasnt really allowed around the tables because we didnt reserve it so my only option was to rave on a colourful thin stage thing by the bar. It was wikid... only thing is bouncer kept tellin me it was for girls only... but thats why i was on there u no? so ravin with these girls... then bouncer grabs my arm and tells me I gota go... gutted.
In summery - the girls are easy - quite decent looking aswell - but you need to have a £100 reserve to hit it hard htere so not somewhere to go regularly. Will go back one day but not my favourite place. I think everyone should go brighton - checkout a club called PoNaNa.. its badass...
This club has the rudest and most obnoxious staff I have ever experienced. The way they treat anyone who is not a Z-list celebrity is utterly appalling. Their attitude totally ruins the club and I expect it will be their downfall. The decor was okay, the music was fine but my night out was ruined by the way my friends and I were treated there. After having spent an absolute fortune on champagne and cocktails plus entrance fee, you would think that the least they could do would be willing to help me when someone took my card. Instead I was insulted by 5 different women who were working there, who for some reason believe themselves to be better than everyone else. Credit to them, they must have a pretty strong self-belief to be able to do that whilst looking like a personification of Euro-trash in ill fitting clothes, orange faces and coco the clown style make up. I really hope they get rid of some of their staff, or I fear that there will be no hope for this place
Crystal...
If you dont want to queue, go before 11.
Bouncers are o.k. They are bouncers afterall.
There are 1 asian guy and 1 blond ex-model who take care of the guest lists.
If you smile to the guy, he might let you in.
To that bitch...you just have to be on the list.
Once inside,
full of bitches - Paris Hilton wannabes, full of perverts - P.Diddy wannabes.
There's 1 dj who get disturbed by one of the manager every single time.
Music, not too bad if you like house.
Decor- honestly, they could do better. Apparently they spent dont know how much but it does look quite cheap however with the lighting it is quite pretty.
Tables...nothing amazing, bit stiky though.
Very small, and always packed.
Drink-expensive, but this is london club.
Average age for women is 24~40.
For men, 28~60?
Girls always look for men with table and champaign (when theres Starwars or rocky song, look at how girls look at where the cahmpaigns go. So they can do their pretty me thing later on), so if you are staying outside of the table area...not sure if you can talk to any girl.
Staffs look tired and they are always too busy to ask for anything.
Despite of what I said above, I used to enjoy this club for a while and spent quite lots of money, but honestly...it gets boring.
