Eight Members Club

I am a member of several exclusive venues throughout London and have to say after visiting this one, i would highly advise staying away. The club is small in size lacking any real quality in the design and the designer features are obviously for look rather than use. The toilets leak on the floor, the hand basins splash, the layout is upside down pretty much allowing anyone who slips in to wander freely as reception is halfway down the staircase.
Finally on having to attend this club for meetings with colleagues who are now leaving after experiencing some of the other venues I have taken them to, no-one ever picks up the phone when trying to call ahead or to reach someone as phone signals don't work inside the venue and when asking staff on arrival where to go they just point.
I don't usually write on these review pages but feel i need to warn others away.
Recently I visited Eight members club, the one in Bank, for some drinks with my colleagues. Even though the club was busy, we were very well looked after. Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable about wines and cocktails. The Lounge food that we ordered was great too. I was not expecting this quality in a private members club of food and service. I have joined as a member.
How long has this been open?I have been working in the City for 11 years and I went to Eight Change Alley for first time last night.
What a place! They have a cinema, huge lounge bar, pool tables, plasma screens and some wonderful works of art.
This place has such a great feel, and obviously knows how to stay exclusive.I'm signing up before the secret gets out...
What a surprise!Very discrete entrance and not so easy to find but worth it.
Service is very friendly yet professional. Drinks are excellent and food is what you expect in a sophisticated cocktail bar.
Ideal if you want to impress.
Horrific service compared to other members clubs and even any half decent bar - which is a shame because the facilities are great.
Arrogant and unpleasant management. Definitely don't waste your money on the joining fee.
Without a doubt my favourite place in London. Always a great atmosphere: busy but you're always able to get a seat with a table and have a conversation without yelling. No complaints about the bar menu. A place where I recognise the majority of the music and where the staff are attentive. Never had a problem with stuck-up staff - Even when it starts to empty out in the small hours they never linger around or try and make you feel unwelcome. Bar staff are friendly too and have the guts to suggest new drinks or new takes on old ones. Feel entirely at home here. Would love to have one of the hidden poker rooms as an apartment and live there! Ideally it would be further West but I guess the location is part of its charm.
I can not be agree with the precedent comment .I 'm member since almost the opening and can say than I see a professionnal improvement to the service and food.
The club organises different activities trough the week.I do use and will use the club again and again.
Interesting suggestion raised by the American member: I tried doing just that and was insulted and treated with the utmost disdain. The management have the same attitude as the waiting staff, are rude and are entirely lacking in manners.
There are plenty of places in the City that you can have a drink without being surrounded by loud city-boys where you can also have perfectly reasonable service at a reasonable price. There is no reason to pay to be a member of a club which treats you as poorly as Eight manages.
I have not renewed my membership.
