Went to the Wessex with a couple of friends who said it was great. Read some reviews on the place on other websites that weren't exactly flattering!
So I went along anyway expecting it to be a bit of dive. Thankfully I was wrong. The queue was not long, waited about 5 mins, then went in. Had a bit of banter with the security and the staff which was good. They do search you and the womens' handbags but that's to be expected. There is no dress code and I was in trainers, t-shirt and jeans.
There were a variety of people of all ages. Some were dressed in what looked like Ascot dress and others were casual, and some in suits.
The general atmosphere was good and people were attitude free and up for a good night. They had a 2-4-1 offer on at the time on some bottles which was a bonus.
Music was good with a mix of Urban, Pop, R&B, 70's, 80's, 90's and we just danced the night away. The DJ was good and in good spirits as well as all the staff.
Would recommend it to anyone and will be going back. The cost was £8 but we had fliers (being handed out by a guy round the corner) and so got in for £7. It opened at 10:30 I think. Near Clapham Junction so nice and easy to get to.
All in all a very nice place with a good atmosphere.
