Super Duper fun ... I have just had my birthday here and all my mates loved it. I didn't leave the dance floor until the very end ...
I reccomend organising a guest list - as we were all able to jump the queue which was very handy.

Thanks for making my birthday so much fun. Will be back for sure!

This is the best basement club I have been to in London...there Saturday night parties 'Lemonade' are spot on for what is hot right now...pure disco vibes in a dark, misty environment...perfecto!

Literally the best place for clubbing in dalston area, friendly staff, good atmosphere, and the prices are ok. The Nest could very well be a worthy rival of any club in shoreditch!

Saturday night is like being crushed into a sweaty sardine can, constantly trodden on and pushed passed by saucer eyed hipster teenagers to the point of huge irritation. The doormen just dont know when a venue is full, and are probably too greedy to care. Huge fire hazard and H&S risk. Drinks are, however, a reasonable price (hence the one star)... otherwise a fat zero.

Sorry, the place is good in theory, but there really needs to be an occupancy limit.

I don't think I have been more excited about a venue for a while.I live in the Dalston area, and have always enjoyed popping down in to Brick Lane, around Shoreditch and Angel.Each area is changing and wasn't quite what it used to be, but hey - that’s what happens.I was recently introduced to the Nest for a night out for a good mates birthday. I was a bit alarmed by the queue but I needed have bothered as The Nest run a priority guest list, so all our names were on the list and we all got a queue jump. This was a nice touch, as to be honest we all hate queuing.It's a basement night club, pretty dark and quirky- but it all added to the atmosphere of the place. The sound system was great and the dance floor was packed with scenesters.We managed to grab a booth area and use it as a base for our group, but the music was so good - it was hard to stay off the dance floor. Everyone there was vibing and just wanted more.Quite a lot of the venues close around 2am, which is annoying as you have really just got going - but The Nest is open until 4am which is perfect.Since then, I have been back 3 times - and the most astonishing was Tiger & Woods, who pretty much caused a road block! I had such a great time and I am really happy that this is on my doorstep.One of my finest moments was having a dance off with the head door man outside, the guy had some serious moves - and was full of energy and a pleasant guy. It's not often you see a doorman willing to talk to people and have a laugh. He also recognises me each time I come down - so Big Up's to you Kingsley!!Awesome Club. Great Staff. Amazing line ups!

Ok. So the last dj you expect to see in Dalston is moby! I could not actually believe it! The one and only Moby playing in a Dalston basement. Amazing! Moby certainly did not disappoint - the club was packed - everyone was loving it, and he played some full on pumping tunage that had me dancing to the very end. I haven't danced like that in ages - It was a great night out - and I am so glad I have found The Nest. I have also just found out that Herve played here too. I can't wait to see who else Will grace the decks.!

Oh my god!!!I was there the night Moby played, it was INCREDIBLE!.We didn't know that he was playing and wondered why everyone was so hyped up.Having got pretty much every album he has made -I was really psyched to see him play.It was such a great night, everyone was loving Moby throw out some chunky techno.The Nest is full of surprises, so we always keep our eyes on the line up's as they have some really big DJ's and live acts playing here.LOVE THIS VENUE

Was here Sat 9th April, great music and the sound system is amazing in the club. No attitude from anyone in the place, everyone was just out to have a good time.

wicked little place. entry always free before 10 and only a fiver after- considering the names its books this is perhaps the best value club in london! to be honest im reluctant to disclose too much about it in case it gets too popular, id rather keep the secret to those in the know!

basically wicked soundsystem and a great vibe. ill defintely be returning- starting with Herve on friday. £5 for herve- i love you nest!

Situated under a "disused store"!!?? has this reviewer actually been there! Last time I looked there was an amazing Vintage store called "Pelicans & Parrots" which I believe opened long B4 The Nest was there.
