Thought it was quite good. Queued for 45 mins, unsure if going to get in as we were 3 blokes on our own. Woman at the door told us they normally expect mixed groups but they would let us in on this occassion - wot a nice woman and unexpected given reviews! Think it was 20 quid each.Once in the club was pretty small basement and smelled a bit musty to be honest. The girls were nice, well dressed. The crowd was very young - the regulation outfit for the boys (average age 18 yrs old) seemed to be a t shirt jeans and then borrowing their dad's suit jacket to make them look distinguished - highly amusing! Usual hooray henry type, not many essex surprisingly. Bunch of 40 plus aged suits turned up and sat at a table - looked ridiculous amongst the jailbaits! Hahaha.Drinks were pricey as expected, but nothing much to complain about and had a good time. Even found somewhere to sit! Wouldn't recommend if you are over 30, you will feel old...If you are badly dressed or are well dressed but ugly you have zero chance of getting in ... sorry! Some reviewers just don't seem to understand this concept...

Absolutely appalling I would not send my worst enemy to this club the door staff were horrific and their entry policy is a complete and utter shambles.

I booked my ticket online from chilli tickets for a Christmas Eve event when I arrived at 9.30 I had to wait until 11.30 in the cold rain and the door staff were not letting people who brought their tickets in. Instead they were letting prebooked groups and people on the guest list go in first.

No where on the website did Funky Buddha Mention this stupid policy. There are plenty of decent clubs out there my advice is don't waste your time and effort with this one.

I've read reviews stating that the people inside we're not too nice to be honest I would probably be inclined to believe them seeing that when I asked the door guards why it was taking so long to let people into the club they were rude and not giving people a proper explanation.

Anyone in the queue who complained was literally ejected from the queue.

First time going to Funky Buddha, how much is the entrance fee? And would they let two females in on their own (friend is coming down from up north and want to show her London clubs) or would their have to be a big group of us?

not a bad night out just had a slight problem in the fact that our private space that we had paid for was being invaded by drunk trampy boys the security was terrible the bouncers were rude thinking they are something special and the waitress was like a beggar. other than that not bad... i think I'm going stick to my usual club that Friends of mine own where i get a bit of respect and staff are pleasant.

This needs to be read! (saturday 15th October) Funky Buddha. Everything I write is the truth, although opinions may be different, mine accounts for the type of person who looks at the sky and sees that most of the time its blue. I wanted to make sure that Funky Buddha would allow 7 male guests & me to enter if we paid a higher amount with no problems. £1000.00 which isn’t a bad price for 8 peoplee-mails between me & the person for tables reiterated the fact there was 8 males, payment was £1000.00 & the fact that we wanted a table on one of the two vip tables. This was confirmed numerous times. When arriving to the club (where we were met by one of the most rude, up themselves and completely oblivious to life bouncers) I spoke to a man who was the person that would organise us to get into the club. He looked at me, asked me who I was with (after giving him my name he should of had details) I told him 7 other males. He looked at me in a funny manner and said “can’t do that unless you give me £500.00 extra” I explained the numerous e-mails. His response was “my manager will ring my neck”. I walked away, not wanting his neck to be touched. Half way down the street, my cousin called me back to let me know he was happy with the original price; at this point his neck was intact. He said to me “but you have the pay a 15% service charge”. I knew this already but let him felt as if he had one over me. Walked into the club, followed a waitress to my table, good atmosphere, rubbish music, table was too cramped, girls were looking alright, looking for cash aswell :)following are points to note:- waitress asking for tips more than 5 times- certain bottles not available (grey goose)- music on repeat (especially new york)- pictures taken on the night and of which show up on the website are completely different. Due to certain rules on this site I cant explain why however the crowd are not the samefinal opinion: I am not biased at all. Just avoid! Happy to an

A great venue, 9 out of 10the queue outside was biblically long, but we were with a promoter so we got to skip the queue (sweet feeling) if you want to get in turn up early, demand is high. £20 entrance fee. Bouncers were nice, gave friendly clear instructions on where to go, but the queue to put your jacket away is long and messy all night long, a redesign is needed here. £2 to put your coat down, by the way. Once you have put your jacket down, you descend into the venue, and that is a nice feeling. The refurbished light structure really does feel special as you descend into the dancehall and right in front of the two iconic bhuddas. The drinks, however, are expensive. Cheapest drink there is £6, and that feels a bit steep, £6 to open a can and put it in a cup. Not ideal or students or people feeling the pinch. Atmosphere is fantastic, world class. A great mix of races and sizes, although esex girls tend to dominate. Girls in general are really nice there and very approachable, we even made a few friends there that we still talk to and am currently dating! Music is very good, a lil commerical at times but they do play funky rnb and even some dancehall, so very good music selection. Overall, this is the best venue I have been to, and it sets the tone for all the others to follow. The only critical point is that the bouncers can be backward. If you go outside to smoke (or throw up) they wont let you back in to get your jacket without a 10 minute argument. Other than that, brilliant.

The best club I've been to! I booked a table here for my 18th last month for a party of 10 and we had the most amazing night. Spent £1100 at the club but was well worth it! Exclusivity was key for us which was just what we wanted, we were told beforehand that guys would need to pay £10 entrance fee but once we got there everyone was let in for free as we had reserved a table. We got there shorty after 10 and the door staff were really nice, let us all through straight away as we had queue jump and wished me happy birthday :)we were then escorted to our table where we had table service throughout the night meaning we didn't have to lift a finger, very pricey place but as I said well worth it! They also have electric shisha which we all did for only £40 ! Once the music started the club came alive within minutes. From Rnb to hiphop, commercial, the music was on point! The dancefloor did get packed very quickly though, but as we had our own table we kicked our shoes off and started dancing on the sofas at our tables! Which meant we had our own space to do our thing ;)10/10 rating for funkybuddha and I highly recommend it! :) :) :)

I can only agree with the comments below on this place, the WORST door staff you can imagine.

Its not particularly difficult to get in, but as someone else has said, expect judging looks and dirty looks from the doormen and staff. They honestly seem to think they are something special. Its hardly a great place so they should pull their heads of of their arses. There is a woman who walks about with a clipboard and decides who does and doesn't get in. Expect the door staff to frisk you that little extra more if you are a guy over 6ft - I have seen more manners at aiport security in Oman than I have here for this poxy excuse of a club.

The music: If the content of Capital FM takes your fancy and you like lame commercial R n B then you will be fine - otherwise you will be bored all night and wondering who does the acoustics there because it sounds dreadful. There are no real DJs and they just use laptops and gizmos as they can't actually mix and don't take requests.

Forget it if you are a black guy - they will not let you in if you are taller than 5ft - I have seen perfectly respectable guys being turned away with girls for simply being black. That is not exaggerating but it seems that is their 'policy'. Its disgraceful.

Well all I can say is AVOID, honestly go somewhere better than this shithole. Its no better than an All Bar One but 10 times the price.
