The bouncers are rude and unprofessional. They made up excuse after excuse not to let me in, while I was on the guest list and 8 of my friends were already inside, having paid the £20 cover charge.
You see they are frustrated the kind of people who abuse their right of decision to waste people's nights out.
The only thing I didnt do right: I followed my friends through the open red cord (open by one of the bouncers) after they had come out to greet me. When the bouncers called me I came back to them without any rebellion and they told me to leave because I was drunk (I had had two beers)...
There was no queue at all either (at 11.30pm, wow this place really is popular!!!!
This club has the rudest doormen and staff I have ever seen anywhere.
Stay away don't risk being embarrassed in front of your friends and other guests. Terrible terrible experience I had with the doorman in charge. I won't being going their ever again, and would advise you all to do the same.
For £20 entry fee, I expected alot more than this. As others have said, it takes forever to get in, and once I was in, it was a major disappointment. Drinks were expensive and music was lousy and the atmosphere was ordinary.
I would strongly recommend you spend your money and time elsewhere
Entry was supposedly Free before 11.30pm so it was disappointing to join the queue at 10.30pm and to be let in at just after 11.35pm and to have to pay the £20 entrance fee 'for getting there late'! Methinks this was not a coincidence as the queue hardly moved during the hour we stood in it so that was our introduction to this downmarket club! Drinks were extortionate at over £10 for each and to add insult to injury we were told in an extremely rude way to move from the table we were drinking at 'immediately' so someone else could use it! This place is absolutely disgusting in the way it treats its clients and we and our group of friends will not be returning. Quite honestly, a night out in Watford would have been more exciting than this place! I hope the owners read the reviews Funky Buddha gets. The staff were rude and affected...what a joke this place is. I would not recommend it to anyone unless they like getting ripped off to the hilt and being treated like ****!This place has got it so wrong and will surely go bust if they continue their rip off antics!
I was really looking forward to finishing off our crimbo party at FB. What a let down, the bouncer made us stand in the queue for what felt like eternity as it was too busy to let us in - at 11.30??? when we enterted the club it was empty. The drinks are way over priced and the music was dire. I would never waste my £20 paying to get in there again! ...and girlies - there is zero talent in there too!
Where do I start. Absolutely disgraceful. I reserved a table at funky budha for a party of 20. On our arrival found that the tables were tucked away in the darkest corner of the club behind the bar. We could not believe it. We then were introduced to our hostess, who carried the sourest face I have ever seen. When we thought things could not get any worse, we ordered a bottle of vodka. Now I don’t mind paying high prices for good quality, but when you get charged £180 a bottle, then do not walk out with something you can purchase at Tesco’s for £9. You guessed it they served the cheapest most rubbish vodka. This was the final straw. The place is tiny, the manager and hostesses clearly do not understand customer service, the drinks highly over priced, Don’t bother. funkybuddha is not worth it.
This was the first and last time that I will be attending the funky buddha. I went with a group of friends to celebrate a series of birthdays. We waited for appox. 1 hr to get in (I dont understand clubs need to have the biggest queues - maybe its a man thing). Anyway when inside we manage to find an area where we could but our handbags and our overpriced drinks - after about 2 hours of dancing to poor music and trying to make the most of it a very small and overcrowded club, a member of staff quite abruptly asked us to move - with no explaination/reason - just MOVE. When we challenged this a series of very manly men entered looking for what I thought was a bomber but in fact is was us. Unbelieveable you may think but true. Next thing we knew we were all excorted to the curb... Never Never again.
I've been to Funky quite a few times now, the last time was 3 weeks ago. This so called refurb....erm, no! Doesn't really look that much different apart from it looks slightly cleaner. What has happened is that the music has completely and totally deteriorated. Its rubbish, especially for the £15-£20 fee on the door. In addition to this, the drinks prices are extortionate. Yes, you do see Z-List celebs in there but as for a good night out with quality music, no.
