I went to the club on the Saturday with some friends and we really enjoyed it. The place is beautiful, such a nice decor and the people were all lovely! will go back to party again!

We enjoyed a really good meal during a fantastic La Reve Show last Friday! Could go straight to the club after the dinner and the place was full of really well dressed, friendly clubbers. Music was spot on.

I went to La Reve with some mates for my birthday and it was a brilliant night. Yes, drinks are expensive, but its the West End. I don't particularly like going out in the West End but have to say that I really enjoyed this. The entertainment was impressive, it was relaxed with some drinks. We didn't get there until 8.30 as the show started but we knew that it would standing room only. We had no problems standing and the people at the tables we stood near also had no qualms. After the show we could either go into the VIP bar or wait downstairs for the restaurant to be transformed into the club. This was a great transformation and haven't had such a good dance in ages. Would definitely go back. Club was packed but not excessively. Would recommend to anyone who fancied something slightly different for a night out.

Best night ive had in a very long time! The music was great and the staff were very friendly :) The circus acts made the night and was so different to any club ive been to in London. I would recommend this club to anyone who just wants to have a fun stress free night.

Fairly ok, depends on the crowd. Better than a lot of West End club. Music ok, decor quite fun but too big.

Went to Cafe de Paris on Saturday. Watched Wam Bam with Friends and had an great time. Food was out of this world. Not what you would expect from a west end night club.
Wasn't going to stay for the club but glad I did. Fabulous crowd and wicked DJ. I danced all night! Girls Roc form Britain's got talent were doing a show and they were fantastic. Can't wait till my next Cafe de Paris fix!
Excellent service, top shows, TOP CLUB!

Paid for the £12 tickets for my mum and I to go for her birthday! Had food before rushed as tickets said be there for 7pm. Show didn't start till 8.30, had 3 acts on for 30mins, then 30 min interval then 30 mins again and it was all over - so we were in there from 7pm (well queuing till 7.15 after rude bouncer didn't bother to communicate anything despite ticket saying arrive at 7pm)!! Till 10.15 and had 1 hours worth f show! Show itself left a lot to be desired the acts were pretty poor! The £12 seats mean you sit only on mezzanine level where there were ridiculous seating arrangement I.e. Hardly any just sofas pushed along back wall, so when show starts everyone stood up at the railing so was a fight to see! Not a fun, or pleasant evening! I've be to la soirée and la clique they know how to do it! Cafe de Paris could be a great night I they sorted out seating, timings and show quality! Lovely venue! Drinks expensive all cocktails £10 for one and wine about £7! Needless to say when you're sat around so long they want you to spend! I wouldn't bother seeing la reve although well done to hula act and rope act at end!

Husband and i went here for a special Christmas night out Saturday 19th December 2011. We decided to choose this place as it gave us a great excuse to dust off our best glad rags and really go to town for the even. We booked for the Wam Bam show all done through the internet and this was quite easy, one thing they could do is to send you a E-mail to say that tickets are not sent in the post but that you will have to print off your Tickets to take - We nearly left the house without them and if it wasn't for my quick thinking in checking my e-mail I wouldn't have know otherwise. We arrived a little late (show starts at 7pm and we arrived just after 8pm. We walked straight in and was welcomed by a lovely polite lady on the desk who proceeded to explain everything to us, where the cloak room was, toilets, bar etc. Cloak room staff, lovely and helpful and I believe it was free to hang our coats. The club decor - beautiful (just what we expected) and colourful. The toilets - exceptionally clean to include a lovely toilet attendant in the ladies who added to the atmosphere with beautiful song :O) The show -a good mixture,comedy/dance/cabaret - including audience participation too. On arrival we found the place not pack - just enough people so loads of room to wander round to explore the place. There was limited seating - unless you had pre-booked a table on the balcony which I understand can be quite expensive and comes with a minimum drinks spend. Then Swiftly at 10pm once the show has finished everyone was ushered into the side room, Lush almost sexy with beds and an additional bar while they cleared the main floor in ready for the nightclub to kick in — then the party started and the club filled. Music pumpin, everyone in their best dress, no teenagers or louts, just a bunch of really nice people all out for a good time. The only down side to the club is the drinks prices are extortionate - by bottles of wine if drinking, much cheaper then buying by the glass.

the venue has so much potential but is let down by woefully poor staff. bad attitudes, bad service... a real shame.

I've been to Cafe 3 times and only actually gained entry once. The door staff at this club are horrific and vile. I understand that as bouncers they can't take crap from punters but seriously there is no need for the attitude and pure disrespect they give to you. The most recent time we were turned away because a group of boys in front of us in the queue got turned away and in a desperate plea to get in told the bouncer they were with us so we were kicked out of the queue and told to leave.
To be honest, even when inside the club is a bit of a let down, drinks are ridiculously expensive, and the club empties out by 2 o'clock leaving a few stragglers on the dance-floor. Overall a very over rated, over priced mediocre club with rude staff.

A stylish venue let down by rather rude staff who act is they're extras from a Russian mafia film. Also beware of being charged 12.5% extra for drinks even if ordered at the bar! I was quoted one price, then handed a card machine to enter my PIN to find it had a completely different figure - about £10 more added - I think the is amounts to fraud, and regardless of the legality of it is reflective of a venue that seems to care more about screwing as much money as possibly out of its customers rather than providing fair and honest service.

I celebrated my birthday there last November. Had a lovely time. Great atmosphere. Not very expensive when sharing with group of friends. Would definitely recommend!! Enjoy! :)

Went to Wam Bam for the second time last night with a group of friends. We loved the show the first time we went but they seem to have replaced glamour and classy showgirls with tacky routines that seem to feature men with their tops off for the sole purpose of making hen parties scream.

Cafe de Paris was packed to the point we were forced to sit on the stairs to get a decent view, not what you expect when you have to pay that much for a ticket! Lady Alex is a superb host for the show and has got even better from the last time I saw her but she should stick to what she's good at as her actual routines look really shoddy when they're up against some stunning burlesque girls.

The improvising hip hop duo were incredible and well deserving of their standing ovation, as were the dance trio, the drag act and the acrobats but the rest seemed like weak filler.

Certainly not worth the ticket price (and obscene drinks prices!) and they seem to have gone from being the classiest show in town to just providing amateur, tacky "entertainment" for hen parties.

We went to la reve at cafe de Paris last night and i have to say it was absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing, the staff extremely friendly and helpful and the cabaret show was the best I've seen. I don't know why there are so many negative reviews of this place but myself and my 13 guests thought it was fantastic.

I regret to be in this club on 13/08/2011, I and my girlfriend model really fancy dressed and in a mood to show off a bit one in a year went to this club expecting to get a spell of Parisian politeness and high customer service what we know from trips to Paris. Ok they let us in with discount so we paid 15pound each. But men no in million years I expect to meet such a rood attitude from a bouncer inside. He looked like a character from hora movie not to say more. An a way how he asked us to leave a patch between stairs where we stood with drinks and chat was way too much for us to stay in this club! We moved slowly but he urged us twice! However, here is nothing to complain about the interior but the staff of club has to be changed if this place is going to succeed! So chaps just avoid, find other option to indulge yourself in the centre.

I went to the Cafe De Paris for the first time ever, for Alex Reid's birthday party last Saturday. I had a fab night and I just want to say how wonderfully honest and trustworthy the staff are in finding my phone and saving it for me to pick up. I was distraught to lose it and SO relieved when they returned it to me.

I can't fault the place. Beautifully decorated, top music and the best staff !!

Went to the wam bam club on the 11th June and myself and my party of 10 others all had the most amazing night. I found questions via email were answered swiftly and with no fuss. The venue was fabulous! The food was scrummy, the entertainment was funny, sexy and exactly what id hoped for. Service was friendly, nothing seemed too much bother and the after party and club just finished the night off. All my group commented that they had a fantastic time, even the ones who beforehand had said it was an expensive night. After they were all saying it was worth every penny, specially for special occainsions and we will all be going back!

The truth is that as glamorous as the photos are for advertising this energetic evening it does not deliver in the entertainment stakes. For its entire cabaret audaciousness, it is a show which lacks enough punch or originality to really knock your socks off. To add to the disappointment for the evening was the quality of food which can only be described as resembling school dinners than elegant cuisine. To conclude if by burlesque the Wam Bam Club mean to ridicule their audience by fleecing their money from them then the succeeded; but if it is to provide a variety show characterised by broad ribald comedy, dancing, and striptease then you will be sorely disillusioned.

Such a good night out at Cafe de Paris. Music is awesome if you (like me) enjoy being able to sing along to chart music... bit o cheese.

Good crowd, good looking people but didn't feel pretentious like some west end (or other) clubs. We arrived around 10:30 and it quickly got packed after 11pm.
Definitely going back.

We ordered a few different cocktails and the bartender did not have a clue how to make them and tasted awful (bless him) - which I wouldn't care but at £11 a pop, which is normal for this part of town, it was worth a mention. Just stick to normal drinks : )

Have fun party people!

Visited this club again last Saturday, am always amazed at the decor, really is beautifull.
Had dinner at the Wam Bam club at 8pm, great show really funny. Ideal for a girls night out. Food was of a good standard with service friendly and swift.
Stayed on later for the club night and had a really good night. Although did not really get that busy until after 11pm, but then got really packed. Good looking people.
Did not get a chance to go onto the balcony level, as you need to book at table, but this area also look really busy.
I found all staff to be really friendly, even after one of my friends lost her bag, which the security found for us. ( we had left it by the bar).
I often go out to clubs in the west end of London, I feel Cafe de Paris is one of the less pretentious ones without being full of cheesy tourists.
I cant really find anything to fault this venue, maybe a bit too busy at times with not much seating, unless you have pre booked a vip table.
otherwise great great great.

I've been there a few times, entry is a little bit pricey so are the drinks but then again that is the case for all clubs in central London. What put me off is the fact that it can be a complete sausage fest, dominated by older men who follow younger girls around like vultures but I'm not hating as I can imagine, once I've hit 30, I wouldn't hesitate to hook up with 20 year olds. Anyhow, decent night, decent music, okay-ish looking girls. Everything is just a a little bit above average ; )

the club was very pretty & glamourous. The door staff were courteous & the it took moments to go through the entrance process and to be seated. Our view of the show was partially obscured by pillars as we were up on the balcony at the back, but it didn't really matter that much. The Wam Bam night was really good, I laughed my head off, it is a credit to Cafe De Paris, I couldn't find fault with the entertainment at all. Also when the disco kicks in, there is a little side room that plays funky tunes and has an altogether more 'smiley' and less pretentious clientele- I recommend that you make your way there shortly after the show ends.

A few spoilers on the night were, getting hideously overcharged by our sour faced waitress, being surrounded near the last 3rd of the show by noisy rude people who had not reserved seats and chose to perch on mine while continuing their inane bleating with all the social awareness of Timmy Mallet. Also the fact that you are turfed out of said seats the moment the show is over to make way for people who can afford to spend minimum £1000 on the night to secured the table & chairs (we're talking about a side table & 2 chairs by the way, not a banquetting table). The drinks menu goes from about £30- £3000, I'm more on the £30 end so I ended up feeling cheap when in actual fact it's just hideously overpriced- To all you folks who are happy to spend over a grand on 70cl of alcohol, feel free to come and purchase some of my wine stock anyday.

I was so wrong, Cafe De Paris places nowhere as a nightclub experience. It is obviously just an area which they`ve latched onto as an after thought. The clock exploded at midnight, that was a nice touch. No glass staircase, just a functional uninteresting one. No change at the bar, not in my case at any rate, making juice and water five pounds. I`d also be quite surprised if all of the sardines, another down marker, that eventually joined us, actually paid the full fifty pounds pre-booking admission. I noticed none of those pretty people, certainly no celebrities, and their dancers, of only average beauty, didn`t even move their feet - I wasn`t persuaded that they could actually dance at all. Although, apart from early on, when they were anyway off stage, and perhaps at the end(?), we left long before then, no actual dance music was released. The definition of dance music being sound with a variable beat, not merely constantly stuck - Club managers and d. J`s are the main reason that our youth can at best only jerk around. Cafe de Paris is apparently doing nothing to alter this. The music was in my view both overly cut-up and too loud, acoustically down market, made far worse by volume, and certainly not highly expensive and top quality sound - The speakers were poorly spread. Velvet flock and silks it was not, in fact, I was the only person so dressed, and the only girl adorned silver my partner. We even appeared to be the only couple to actually show dance, not that the d. J. Afforded us too much of that. It`s not out of five, this is a star rating! No balcony is a massive minus, otherwise, I should have afforded them one star. I had been so very wrong before. The clubbing experience can only harm their otherwise top ranking reputation! On the basis of N. Y. E not A single star! - Not yet, but watch this space!

The house vodka there is propably about 10%.
Shame on You .

very young, very lc, pretty rundown. not worth going if you look for something more upscale.

Went there for a 20th birthday on a saturday arrived around 10ish and was on guestlist even though we was too late so had to pay the £20 which was bit expensive then got a drink which again was corona for £4 double vodka lemonade for about £8 which again is expensive. But apart from them downsides the music was spot on for what i like as was a electric mix of new and old commercial tunes and especially if you going with a young crowd is a great night.

Definitely will be going again the music and the venue made the night was just amazin!

If I could I would leave a rating for this pretentious, shabby, horrid place without any stars - but the system doesn't allow it unfortunately. We were on the guestlist - what a scam - so we queued for about 20 minutes (i thought guestlist means your queue is shorter than the ones who are not on the list, but clearly, my mistake). Then we were greeted by a horrid little gay man, who thought he is God or something. He was extremely rude in talking to us, though he had no reason, as we were very polite. Then came in a tall attitude-problem-chick, also very rude. After this we decided to say byebye to the whole thing and ended up going out somewhere else. I don't know if management reads these reviews, but woooow wake up! Change your staff, otherwise u'll end up closing this dump soon enough. We Certainly hope so.

My husband and I went to this club last weekend with another couple of good friends and having read these reviews beforehand, were concerned at what we may find. We had opted for the three-course dining option (a good choice) and from the minute we arrived, the service was excellent. The bouncers were not rude (they were there to keep the wrong types out!), certainly the waitresses were most attentive and pleasant. The food was good too - a big surprise given that the meal was not the main purpose of the night. We opted for a few bottles of your average cabernet sauvignon and this was not extortionate at around 20 quid a bottle. Yes champagne is pricey but its not compulsory to drink it! The prices compared with what you would see in any city club. The show was totally entertaining, a great variety of comedy and cheeky without being tasteless and suitable for mixed company. There was something for everyone and the little room by the VIP lounge played great middle of the road music, whilst the main room was more current music - the choice is yours. The decor was totally right for a vintage-style event such as burlesque and added to the atmosphere. We all had a fab night and would thoroughly recommend it as a fun night out with a difference. I wonder if the negative review are genuine - all we could see were people having fun and enjoying themselves. One negative - the loos are too small but that's hardly good reason not to go. Don't be put off. TMDP of Bham.x

Having visited Cafe de Paris several times over the last couple of years, I have to say i am surprised by the last couple of reviews on this site.
For me the venue is absolutely stunning. The staff always well presented and polite, even when they are dealing people who have had too much to drink, (probably the ones who have written such negative comments).
The customers are generally of a good standard, not too young, but not too old either, and without the pretentious attitude of some clubs in the west end.
The music is good, although much the same as you will hear in any west end club.
I have only eaten once at the restuarant, (a firends birthday), the cabaret was ok, if a bit cheesy, food well above average and staff who served us, polite and efficent.
If i have to find a negative it would be that sometimes it can get really crowded and there are not many seats. Unless you are in the vip area.
But then if I had wanted to sit down all night, I would have stayed at home watching TV.

My wife & I went to the Wam Bam Club at Cafe de Paris 3 weeks ago, having booked dinner for during the show. The meet & greet bit was great - very friendly and attentive.
The seating is on large circular tables, arranged on the dancefloor, with groups of all sizes. The Maitre'D seemed confused as to where to put us, as there seemed to be more people booked at the table than there were places for. So we were then parked at a booth where we couldn't see the stage. We asked to move, and after quite a bit of angst, were moved so we could see the show. (well it was kind of why we were there).
The show was fantastic and we really enjoyed it - thanks!
The Cafe de Paris, though is not fit to host quality entertainment - poor quality food, brought (no..thrown at us) at random intervals by disinterested staff.
Once the tables were cleared (they do make this clear in their blurb), we had a bit of a boogie and then found we weren't allowed to sit anywhere - the booths were booked by groups and the balcony areas are available only to the "pretty people" and "VIPs." If you're a normal person looking for somewhere to sit for 2 minutes or put your drink down, you'll be pounced upon by a be-suited KGB-wannabe and put in your place.
So, great show, but if you want to be treated like something the bouncer just trod in, come right in! We have complete empathy with some of the experienced described on here.

Went to this club last year and had a real good time. This year me and the same friend came down from ipswich and decided to try another club. We were in stanza for 20 minutes before we decided that we should have really gone back to cafe de paris,so this is what we done and yet again it didnt let us down! Yes the drinks are expensive and going on a saturday can be pretty crowded,but i feel it is well worth it. Dont really care too much about the staff as long as they got my drink right and i got served quick enough then i couldnt ask for more. The music was great and i was lovin all the dancers! When i come bak to london which i am hoping is pretty soon there will be nowhere else i will be partying other than cafe de paris.

was on a guest list, why we bothered I dont know, still had to que up, so dont bother. Very rude staff, bouncers on door, staff who stamp your hand, suppose to show you to your table and then half an hour later you get told to leave the table as more people are coming. Very expensive drinks wise, rude staff, would never go there again.

Not the best place i have ever been too, very very croweded to the point i could not move i had to stand on the stairs to even catch some breath, the club itself is beautiful and the staff are very friendly but for a night out experience my sister used to love this club but she left after an hour and half and it was her birthday so she was a little disappointed. The girls looked the part but didn't really dance that much well not to the tunes but it was a nice theme. I don't think we will be coming back for a while which is a shame :-(

Worst club I ever been to! Avoid avoid avoid! Went on Saturdays with a 5 other mixed friends.- rude staff- full of chavs and Jordan wannabes, and extremely smel definitely not classy and stylish!- tacky and filthy (my hands were sticky and covered of a black oil and I only touched the stairs rail)- expensive and tasteless drinks, completely full of ice, it took us 2 seconds to drink ours and we couldn't even taste the alchool.

crap dj: he kept jumping from rnb to rock, to house and to pop and kept each song for just 20secs! Extremely annoying!- disgusting ladies toilets, they shares the sinks with the male toilets that while queuing I could actually see guys peeing. And of course not washing their hands because there was a huge queue o ladies in front of the sinks. Complaint with the manager as we wanted our money back after 20 mins of being in the club. Extremely rude, he said to send him an email today because there was nothing he could have done on the night. Seriously people don't go and give money to these people! I have read all the reviews before going and I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but I wish I didn't!

After reading some of the reviews on here I thought I should write my comments, as it appears I had a totally different experience....

Me and my friends went along for one of the 'Wham Bam' nights, tho not for dinner, just drinks. The show was great, and only £25 so a bargain!! Drinks aren't the cheapest in the world, but come on, it's the West End so it's gonna be a little pricey, having said that I've been to far more expensive places.

We found all the staff to be very nice, we had a good laugh with our waitress and the barman were nice. Security were't over the top pleasant, but I think that's cause they were keeping and eye on those who were a little too merry......

All in all, we had a great night, the music you could dance too, the venue looked really good and the big bang things they do were fab! I'd definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

Went to see the Wam Bam Club last night and had a brilliant time!

Really liked the place and the show was absolutely amazing! There are plenty of places doing cabaret in London but none quite like Wam Bam, it was the perfect mix of sexy burlesque, comical burlesque, dancing (the can can was incredible!), comedy, music, acrobatics...

Just a really good fun night out and I'd recommend it to anyone!

We came on two occasions in December and after reading theee past few reviews I felt like I need to share my experiences at Cafe de Paris:
First time we came was on Saturday 19th December for the Wam Bam club, we arrived at 7pm and were shown toour table for our company Xmas dinner (12 of us), The food and service was great, our waitress very efficient ad discreet so we could watch the show which as very good and funny. Wes the american comedian is brilliant! The selection of wine was good, we had a great sauternes with our desserts, lovely! At 10pm we moved to the VIP room for after dinner drinks until the club opened. The club night was just amazing, music, dancers and staff! The Fuel Girls Xmass show was another highlight of the night! Such a good night we decided to come back for our NYE party!
Our NYE party was only 6 of us and once again we went for the Wam Bam club option for £85 for the show, meal and champagne on arrival. Once again service and food were great, I had the Beef Fillet which was so tender and well cooked, we had a to wait a little between our starters and mains but we were not in a hurry and no one seemed to mind, gave us time to chat and enjoy the show!
The NYE Mask party was much fun, exploding clock at midnight with fireworks and the Fuel Girls being back made our first few hours of 2010 the best!
Don't judge Cafe de Paris by the reviews, it's a great place not pretentious and with great friendly staff and food! (I guess some peope are just hard to please :-)
We have already booked our xmas party for 2010 and are going bac to Wam Bam on 05/02!

My friend and I went there for new years eve 2009 and it was the worst night ever! It cost £40 to get in and then my purse got stolen! The staff were all very rude and arrogant. The drinks were very expensive and the decor was tacky. A few years ago it might have been a good club, but now it mainly attracts unclassy wannabe wags and middle aged men! Don't waste your time or money going. I will definitely not be going back.

Absolute waste of money. Place tacky - stinks of vomit, food appalling (although granted it was Xmas menu), tacky, unfunny, tasteless 'show'. Claokroom lost 2 of our parties coats. Can't believe how much money my comapny wasted in this awful place.

Where to start, we decided to book up Cafe de Paris for our Christmas Party this year. We did the whole bang shoot, hired the Limo, dressed up in our glitz and glam etc. It started off very well. The Entrance was absolutely gorgeous and the hostess was lovely. She showed us to our table (the dance floor had been converted into the seating area) and it really looked lovely. That's where it ended! The waiting staff were so unfriendly, i'm sure I even heard one 'shoosh' a guest at the table.

Our food was brought out by a guy who looked like he was doing a 'deer in the headlight' impression and it was brought out in drips & drabs. We had to beg for the wine that we had pre-ordered & we had to eat to a timescale. In fact, our one guest left to use the toilet and came back and they had removed his chair in order to clear the dance floor, he had to stand for 10 minutes while the rest of us finished up. We then had a problem with the bill, which was sorted out at a later stage although it did feel like quite a fight even though we had spent lots of money (must say the lady who did the Initial email reservations was brilliant and she cleared things up later in the week).

We then moved up to the vip area, I have to say that this was good service. We did have a dedicated lady who looked after us the rest of the evening serving us drinks in style etc so for that & the Initial reservations staff i'll give it two stars. I just think for all the money spent, the food is mediocre and the waiting staff are unfriendly (an explanation being that they work very hard, yes we work hard too which is why we deserved a nice Christmas Party)! There may be other places more suitable for a good night.

Ps: In the bathroom, I overheard a lady say that they had spent over £1000.00 on dinner and went to the bar/seating area for a drink but were then being asked to leave if they didn't buy more booze. Nice!
