Rude and bad customer treatment specially the doors bouncers.
The till person will always try to scam you , the one at the entry and the cloakroom girl
Inside room stink and place look quiet old and dirty

Bad customer treatment, throw-outs and theft...
We went to Zoo Bar yesterday and are very disappointed by their customer treatment!
First teh bag of one my friends got stolen from underneath our table...
Then on the dancefloor: We just put our bags next to our feet, dancing, but not being drunk at all (not much alcohol in their drinks anyways...)

One of the security guys simply took two of our bags and told us to follow him. We assumed he would take it to the cloakroom, but he literally went out the backdoor of the club, THREW our bags on the street, told us to get out - then shut the door and told the bouncer not to let us in anymore.
We had to call our friends and tell them to come outside as well.

Definitely never going there anymore!

Beware: The woman on the till will scam you.

I handed over a 20 pound note to pay for 2 entries (worth 10 pounds). She took the note and put it in the till. She didn't hand over my change, so I asked for it. But she insisted that I had only given her a 10 pound note. Of course there's no proof once then note's already in the draw. Spent about 5 minutes arguing (there's no doubt - i definitely gave her 20), but it looked like we'd get kicked out so we just went inside.

Probably best to use correct change on this one...

Wouldn't go to this club again.

Had a brilliant time here on Saturday night, after having trouble at another local nightclub etc the staff at Zoo Bar were extremely helpful, very nice and sorted out queue jump, a booth and all round good night for us on the spot!..
Wicked Night Out!.. various different rooms to dance in, varying music throughout.
Only negative; the drink prices, but .. its London!

Awesome club!

I met a guy named Manuelo, 34 years old, Spanish. Living in London for 2 years, though I didn't get his contact information and I have something that belongs to him.
He was there on the 5th of May with some friends, his friend had a birthday. Anyone who knows him?

Living in London I go out clubbing quite often and when there's not much planned I usually end up in Zoo. Positives:mostly good music - mainstream stuff mostlydrinks are not too bad if you ask for the offers on the right nights otherwise they can be a bit of a rip offeasy to travel to and fromnegatives:full of pervertsbouncers get aggressivewoman on the till is always rudeclub isn't exactly classyhowever, if you can look past these factors, go in a big group (i recommend you pre-drink) and just go out with the mind set that you are going to have a good time you usually will. Definitely better than some other clubs around the area e. G. Ruby Blues which they also own which is a complete rip-off!

One Word. Awful.


Many words, really awful. They hired their VIP room for a comedy gig, staff walked through the audience every few seconds, safety equipment beeped throughout, club music drowned out the comedians, no bartender was on the bar as was promised. Overall, treated with no respect, with is offensive without the fact they wanted me to pay for future gigs.

Avoid at all costs
