Easily the best place in Clapham if not London. Great music, great crowd, great interior design and great drinks prices for London.
Celebrated a friends b'day party the other week and it was definately the highlight of the year. Staff were helpful in organising things for the event and the whole night was amazing.
Reading some of the reviews below about the bouncers, yes they are strict in that they don't let people in who have clearly drunk so much that they can hardly stand and that is a large reason why the crowd in the club is so great.
Additionally others probably didn't realise that there are several storeys and dancefloors in the club so while it is inevitably busy at the front, move around and there is plenty of space
You'll be hard pressed to find a more chilled and/or more value for money night out on a weekend. Have been here many times and despite the long queues, well worth the wait
I had such a great time at this place! The inside and outside both look really cool and unique. When we got there the bouncers were up for a bit of banter and didn't give us a hard time unlike other London clubs do. This was a pleasant surprise as we were a group of lads and a couple of us were wearing trainers. We had a bit of a laugh with all the staff before going into the main bar which had a great atmosphere - there was a nice crowd in there, everyone looked good but it wasn't a fancy place. I'm definitely going back again, it was unlike other London clubs - it's busy without being overbearing and rave-like and the crowd is smart without being too pretentious and fancy. Thumbs up!
After having the most amazing night at the Artesian Well I thought I would look up reviews as I had never heard of the place before and I was quite shocked by how badly reviewed this place was! The drinks prices were reasonable for London and there wasn't too much of a queue at any of the bars. The place is amazingly decorated with sculptures and renaissance paintings which really gives the place a unique feel, in-fact I would probably call this the most unique bar/club I have ever been to! The place is nicely busy which is a plus, as an empty bar has a bad atmosphere. The Bouncers were helpful and the bar staff were quick but polite. The music isn't really my type of thing (dance, club tunes, house) but that didn't matter because the place was so great! definitely going back on a regular!
Absolutely awful club, this place has gone downhill. Bouncers were really rude and shouted at us 'cash only! £10! Move' and we were shoved about even though there weren't any queues. The clientele were just as rude, I was told to f*ck off whilst waiting in the queue for the loo and also whilst waiting to buy a drink. People were unnecessarily aggressive and it didn't help that it was very overcrowded. I would not recommend this club to anyone, avoid at all costs!
If I could give this place no stars I would!Absolutely awful!Most aggressive door staff ever, absolutely no need for it, they're shouting at you the second you get near the door. "£10, get your £10 ready now!!! £10, where's your £10!!"They let in way way way too many people, if Health and Safety checked this place out on a Saturday night it would be shut down, queues for everything, cloakroom, bar, upstairs bar, loos. Never been in a more crowded place in all my years in London.Finally the cliental are so far up their own a**** its unreal.Avoid like the plague.
If I could give this place no star's I would. The staff are rude, especially the bouncers! The place is overcrowded and the drinks are expensive. I would not recommend this place to anybody!
Haven't got much to say about this place apart from DON'T GO!!
really rude staff, abusive and offensive behaviour and language. Over priced. Will not be bothering with this place again. Oh! And the toilets are RANK!
I was really appauled by this club ! THe cocktail mojito was full of ice , it was 8£ for one , and it was not the best mojito ive had ! THere was hardly any mint leaves in it , and they dont put sugar on the rim of the glass .
The place was packed , couldnt move very far , so constantly getting crammed in .
THey charged my Debit card at 10 % for every purchase , and can only get over 10 £ of value , so they stitched me up there !
Very dissapointed , there are far better places than this PLAce ! they should take notice , otherwise they see there revenues go right down , as we are in a resession , and take these things quite seriously !
