One word for this night club and that is, SHOCKING!!!!Was browsing on the net just before new year’s eve and came across Infernos night club, it looked like a half decent night club that sold cocktails. Got to the club on New Year’s Eve, found door men friendly and didn’t have to wait that long as not many people at the door, great. Got in and suddenly was hit by the most horrible sweaty smell ever known to mankind, it actually smelt cheesy and of old over worn running trainers. I wasn’t sure how the smell was in the building until my friend said that it was the carpet, that hadn’t been washed. My friend asked me to feel the carpet with my shoe, I did and he was right, it was very very sticky and greasy and from what I could see, not been cleaned for ages. I mean come on how much effort does it take to shampoo a carpet once in a while! Got to the bar to find only 4 different cocktails for sale then the bar man took about 1 hour trying to make them. And as for the crowd let me say that the guys clearly just wanted any old excuse to try and start a fight with anyone. Overview of this bar is, DONT GO if you’re looking for a nice night out. Clapham has lots of other better bars.
PS ; if this website would actually allow me to edit myprevious review, then the rating would be a 1 ( or zero if that was an option). If you want to be abused my door staff (along with the club manager, who I ended up requesting to talk to, only to be told I was 'a stupid idiot' by him, and that I was 'trying to take the piss'), then by all means come to this place. However; if you would actually like to have a reasonable night, then avoid this place with ten foot pole.
I am absolutely disguested with this place. I love having a laid back, fun night out, but if this is what you are after,then this is not the place for you. My boyfriend and I paid 10 pounds each to get in; I then needed to go and get some cash, and asked the door staff if I needed a stamp, and where to go to get the cash. They assured me I did not need a stamp, and sent me the wrong way to the cash point. When I came back, I found I was not allowed in because I did not have a stamp, or proof of previous entry. I offered up my handbag and my laptop which I had on my back as back up for them to hold, for me to go and get my boyfriend to produce our entry tickets to prove we had already paid the ridiculously high entry fee, which they refused. Luckily my boyfriend came to find me, and we somehow managed to convince them that we were not trying to rip them off, and we had already paid £20 together for entry.
I work in the security industry and will therefore be reporting this club for breach of SIA regulations for not only failing to do any security checks on me or anyone around me, but also for blatently being more concerned with trying to rip customers off rather then with trying to ensure their clientle and customers are safe and secure in their environment.
If you do not want to have a horrible evening, then do not go to this establisment.
Yesterday I went for a night out on my friends 25th Birthday. Heard it was a good place to end the night at and Im a fan of cheese, so was looking forward to it bigtime!
Got there, and was faced by 3 bouncers who harassed me until tears. I was in queue with my friends and they had to separate people into groups. I was taken apart from my friends and kindly requested if they can stand with me. Upon this request I was shouted at by the bouncer and had to quietly refrain thinking it was probably the stress of the people getting to him (even if in any case a should not be treated this way). After having stood in the queue I was requested for my ID which I handed over for the bouncer to check. I handed it back and was told it was ok to carry on. Once I turned around, the bouncer grabbed my arm and tugged me, telling me me I was being rude, therefore I have to leave the queue (to make "way" for a skinny blonde chick and her friend) who was completely drunk off her face. With that comment (and their judgement) I was pushed by the queue by force and out of the way. Because of that I am left with bruise marks following that event. To make things worse, a female bouncer came up to me, saw me in tears, and shouted at me for being upset about the whole situation and I don't deserve to have a good night. Feeling heavily offended and in tears, I was ready to go home and forget about my friends 25th, where finally the 3rd bouncer (also after having shouted at me for being upset) was begged by my friends to let me in, and I reluctantly had to follow suit. All I can say is that this is by far the WORST experience I have ever had at a London club and can assure you I will not be going back. The bouncers were pure African with a heavy accent but still had a VERY GOOD command of English meaning there was no communication error where these bruises on my arm say a lot about what happened and what harassment I went through.
There are many nicer places than this £10 club.
I find it amazing to see all the bad comments here! I will put my cards on the table as I have worked at Infernos for over 10 years and without a shadow of a doubt Infernos as stood the test of time with queues around the block week in week out! It’s clear and obvious that the bad reviews are from rival venues in the area of which I won't mention here (you know who you all are and are very jealous of the continued success of the most powerfullest night club in South West London.)if the music was crap and the venue was rubbish then why week on week is it still packed out!?! Wouldn't customers vote with their feet!?! I for one am sick and tired of the bad reviews here about Infernos. If you have a genuine gripe with the club then address it professionally with the management in writing or by contacting them directly (www. Infernos. Co. Uk) if not stop posting blatant lies on this review site which is supposed to be a forum to give precise and accurate reviews about venues. Infernos has been going now for over 10 years with the same owners and cheesy concept where as other clubs and bars in the area have shut down and re-opened, shut down and re-opened. So if Infernos was as bad as the reviews on this site claim to be then please tell me why we at Infernos are going from strength to strength! I think it's very unfair as we here at Infernos don't go slagging off other venues in the area in this manner. The truth is we don't need to as the lack of queues at your venues in comparison to are fantastic night club says it all! I would wish you luck (again you know who you all are!) but I feel me wishing you luck wouldn't even help you!
Infernos sums up everything that is bad about Clapham. Horrendous music and full of people that move to London, then never go outside of their Clapham bubble. Annoying student and 'rugger' types. Avoid like the plague if you want to maintain any degree of credibility.
Terrible, never in my life have I bumped into so many nasty guys.
They have a MASSIVE chip on their shoulder. What's with the music too?
It's definitely stuck in a time warp! Never again!!!
Can't argue with any of the points already made, it really is a dive with awful music, it stinks, is over crowded and everyone in there is so pissed they can't see straight.
Woeful. If you want an SU bar, go back to Uni!
