I have been going to oceana watford for few years now and all i can say is its geting better they are starting to let the right people in which mean u dont get perv pinching your bum every time u go bar. The two bouncers on the front door are very cheerfuller which makes a change then when you get in u have a cute blonde new boucer the smallest one i have ever seen who seem to be hot on searching. (I hav seen a few.end up nicked for drugs coz of him) i wudnt say no lol then go upstairs and bar staff are very helpfull overly a bloody gd nite thank u
Went to Oceana Watford last night and it was terrific! We decided to book a table when we were there, and the vip host gave us a discount as there were only four of us; a real charming young man! One of the seats had a drinks spilt on it when we were taken up, so instead they upgraded us to a suite for free! To the comments below: door staff can lose their licenses if they seemingly let a drunk person in - and yes, there were people refused entry who may have been okay. But it's their job and if you have an attitude that's your fault! The music was incredible, and the light shows were great. Five stars and I'll definitely be back!
I've been to oceana three times now and every time I go I have a brilliant time! It is by far the best club in watford. I also find it hard to believe that anyone could find the bouncers rude! there some of the most polite doormen I've ever met, especially the guys on the front door. Will definitely be going again soon.
I will be in Lodnon soon...and I have heard Oceana's is suppose 2 be a great nightclub to go to in Watford. I have heard it is suppose 2 be over 20's on a Friday night is this true, or is it over 18's?
Could someone tell me please! Cheers
I went to Oceana Watford last Saturday, and had a great time. I could not get over how many different rooms there were, and it was nice to be able to chill out and have a chat at the bar. The main room was wicked and managed to play all different types of music which all 25 of us could enjoy even tried the 70’s and 80’s room, retro baby! I will defiantly being returning to Oceana. : ) Big D 23ys
Just read through some of the reviews below need to make things right, sounds like sour grapes to me. I’m not from Watford and have been traveling to Oceana Watford’s Thursday nights for about six months, near enough every week and I can assure you it is always worth the journey! Bouncers id everyone but so what that’s their job! Avoid the door cover buy downloading vouchers from the website (Easy) now to the main event…The session, the Vibe, the Music, the DJ and the women! HEAVY!! And I don’t mean stones! Make the trip, I’ll see you in the Icehouse tonight!!
Ive been thr recently n it is really good the bouncers r abit moody but hey every 1 is when ther at workkk ther is a good attmosphire n the bar men dnt fink ur stupid just fink hw hard it must b for them when uve gt over 2000 peope in the club n 100 people at the bar shouting im nxt im nxt. It is a bit expensive but all top brands in every thing are I highly suggest u check out Oceana watford for urself n stop goin on every 1 elses opinion
Last night I went to Oceana Watford. It was a friends birthday, It was a real disappointment from start to finish. 1. We were forced to wait outside in the freezing cold for no apparent reason there wasn't a que the bouncers were chatting and totally ignoring us.
2. After a long wait they let us all in, it seems they pick and choose who they let in and turned away many people that seemed absolutley fine and let in some people in a real state! I had my bag searched and then after paying £12 I was called over to the side of the room where I was quizzed about how much I'd had to drink for about 5 minutes, it honestly felt like I was being arrested! I had to explain what drinks I'd had, when, where, what I was going to drink in Oceana and why was I there! Absolutely ridiculous! There were younger girls shreeking, staggering and shouting while I was being interegated and yet nothing was said to them!
3. When you finally get in don't expect a nice drink, the bar staff were rude, they ignore people seemingly on purpose they act like they are doing you a favor by serving you. I ordered a bottle of sol and they didn't have any lime wedges to put in it. It may seen trivial but after £12 entry fee I would expect the drinks to be of a certain standard. I'm hardly talking champagne cocktails!
4. As it iswinter and I am a smoker I wanted to keep my coat, it was freezing inside as well. This is something else that is not allowed! I was stopped after being in the club for over an hour and told to go and que up and pay to put my coat in the cloakroom, I explained that I didn't want to and I was leaving soon but was told that I have to! Even though I could see many other people in Jackets. Luckily he started telling someone else off so I walked off, coat still intact!
5. There are much better places in Watford to go than Oceana! The staff are all on power trips and totally un reasonable. Don't waste your time or money!
I used to go to Oceana a lot before when it was kudos and destiny and always had a good time so decided to give Oceana a go and what a bad decision that was! The bouncers are rude and aggressive and tryed to kick me out as soon as I had paid to get in the staff treat you like dirt and talk to you as if your stupid and constantly try to kick you out totally ruined my night there was sick every where in the club and its so expensive I would never go there again and urge everyone to avoid Oceana and go and spend your hard earned cash some where else!
Lolal the people below I totally agree! First time I went to watford since it changed from destiny to oceania, wot a let down! I saw a lot of people being turfed, because 'they drunk too much' cue was quite big for the time, once I got in its like the staff pick n choose and play games with u. I had a gal and guy who kept asking me how much I drunk, it was like everything I said they played on trying to kick me outta there, even tho I hadnt even had one alcoholic drink!
This point I just shut up n waited till they let me go. But I m in the process of making a complaint to the manager. They all back each other in there. Basically if you want a gud night don't bother with Oceania in watford. Kingston wasn't too bad last time I went, you will only properly get upset like I did, sh1t that not a night out man! Music is terrrrrrible fuck I might aswell just listen to kiss fm loll didn't dance once!
I love to go club n I ve been 100's of clubs in whole Uk. But this is the worst club I ever been. I tell u guys Oceana is expensive. Forgot abt expensive. I beg u guys don't think about going Oceana. Main reason is door man and their staff. They treate you like a stupid n they fucking rude n aggressive. I can't believe when I've been Oceana. Go somewhere else.
1. Very crowded. They should have a limit to how many people should enter.
2. Not advisable for single women to visit due to all the nasty pervs lucking around, touching bums and grazing against them.
3.Very disgusting state of the club due to all the puke which had not been cleaned up.
4.Spent half the night cuing up. either at the cloak room, entrance(why do we pay for fast track tickets if we have to stand with the normal cue? ), or at the washroom and worst of all at the bar to get the free bottle of bubbly that came with the ticket.
5. Ordinarily a decent DJ makes up for the worst club but oceana watford did not invest in a good DJ (DJ MANIC). On new years eve, the music is supposed to be the best of the year of last few years. But he decided that he will play a countable number of songs countless times.
The worst new years eve ever...Avoid oceana at watford.
Don't bother...As a 25 year old male, I have only ever been refused entry to a nightclub twice - Both times were at Oceana's in watford.
The first time the overly aggressive bouncer claimed that he did not have to give a reason and sent us on our way, and the second time, which was this weekend, was due to being 'too drunk' which was absolute nonsense, as a friend and I calmly arrived to meet the rest of the group who were already inside.
They were not willing to debate this, and proceeded to let through rough looking people who were blatantly off their faces.
Oceanas in Watford is renowned for refusing people entry, based on whether the bouncer likes the look of you or not.
Choosing this nightclub as your hot spot for the night is a gamble really, as there is a high chance that you, or one of your group, will be refused entry for no valid reason, and apparently they are fully entitled to discriminate -
This will spoil your night, and possibly leave you feeling insecure about why you were refused and others were not. Spend your hard earned cash in a place where the management, and staff, actually make you feel welcome - There are plenty of up market, and decent, clubs that do.
Awful. This is my experience.We organised a trip to Watford Oceana for a friends birthday and we were delighted that we had made it onto the guest list for the night.
We spent £130 on a taxi just to get there. We had queued for only 5 minutes when the bouncer who was currently on duty (28th July 09) had refused entry to one of our friends for aparently being 'too drunk' to get in.
She had asthma with a medical bracelet to prove this and so following advise, she doesnt drink (It was her own option not too).
We all tried our best to get a second opinion of this decision but we found that nobody wanted to help us and were ignored by other members of staff also on duty that night.
Looking around us, we could see other girls shouting, staggering and holding onto their friends as they were 'walking' up the the club and yet they were not refused entry.
Management were impossible to get hold of and to be quite frank, it had ruined my friends birthday.
I had been to other oceans around the country and have honestly had a good time. I just suggest that the bouncers at Watford practice at making better judgements about people.
The lack of help and rude members of staff is enough to put me off this place.
I've been to this Venue before when it was called Destiny (or whatever) and it was a colossal heap of sh*t.
A few friends of mine partied here recently after the refurb and new owners arrived - and had a lot of fun apparently.
Heard a lot of good things about this place from people whose opinions I trust.
Going this Saturday, if it turns out to be crap I'll put another review to warn people - but if you don't see another review then that means they have improved (drastically) and I enjoyed myself alot! :P
Awful to get hold of via phone or email/internet booking to book a table or booth or VIP.
tried for weeks and once you do finally reach someone they are rude, especially man. Impossible to reach the manager of the club.
Pretty useless business they are running. Typical Watford club - will never amount to much more unfortunately.
