I've been in Jalouse a couple of times now and I'm never going back. The door staff is just too rude. Beyond rude I might say. It's so nice to stand in the queu for a long time and then get in to give your money to a lady who doesn't know how to say 'hi' not to mention 'thank you'. NOT. Feels like some of the ladies at the door are too full of themselves and the fact that they work at a nightclub. They are giving this attitude that 'I can do whatever I want. If I want you out of this club I can do it. You are JUST a customer.' Feels like they puts themselves first before the customer.
The staff inside are nicer, though, but that doesn't make up the fact that you have to start your night getting upset by the way the door staff treats you. Not worth the money, at all.
Last night in jalouse I had one of the best night in london! Live acts on stage was fantastic! Jalouse knows how to put on a show as such, the club filled with energy!
I have not been here for a while,moved to Monaco for business. Last night I was a guess on a friends table, when I arrived at the club, I thought to myself infront of a huge line of people, how the hell am I going to get in! The smoking hot asian manager of this club lucky was at the door, who spotted me, not only still remember who I am, she pull me from the crowd got me in within no time! This kind of service you don't hardly get anywhere else in london.. I was very impressed with her!
It was a crowdy night with amazing music and great live acts, beautiful girls. Few people doesn't look like they should be there. Overall an excellent night that I will remember..
Get to know the asian girl on the door. A smile from her will make u satisfy before you even enter the club.
Thumbs up for jalouse! Highly recommended.
Oh dear where to start with this club. I reserved a table at this club for myself 4 guys, 5 girls for what promised to be a good night. Unfortunately we queued for over an hour to get into this club. When the clipboard lady came out her manor was quite rude, it was like it was a chore to speak to us which is never a good thing. Again like other complaints on here we were charged entry which I found the most shocking. This was taken from a cashier who said "Its 20" and proceeded to pull the money out of my hand. No thank you.
The club was surprisingly nice although the table was misfortunate. When this club gets packed people are literally dancing on your table as the dancing area is so small. The lady who served our table seemed nice enough but as with a lot of London clubs the reps seem to think their more important than they actually are (perhaps that is one of the requirements)
I would avoid this club if you are intending to get a table - Poor service from this club and I'm sure many more will be happy to take your money, provide friendly service and offer a table reflecting the circa 1000 price point.
Small dancing area only if you pushed others around, you cannot even set on ur own table without people blocking the view. Usually we have our table behind the DJ.Last time i went there was when I booked a table and when we arrived they said you cannot go in !! and the reason was because we were 5 guys 2 girls, I contacted the manager but he txt me back saying he cannot let us in coz of the number of guys r not equal to girls and we should have like equal number of girls as us ?! why is it written in Women's right federation or something??? ?. The problem when you are usually go there and have your own table they should take care of you as u r a regular costumer who spend £1000 easily! . But thanks for them that they made me switch to Raffles club as I don't need to book a table by phone or something, Just showing on the door and asking them for a table and they let you in and enjoy ur time. That what i am looking in a club treating with respect and not giving a shitty excuse as you need to have girls equal in number with guys or more.
I tried to go to Jalouse last Saturday night to celebrate my friend's 22nd birthday. One of their club reps assured us that he had put us on the guestlist and reserved us a private table. So we turned up - 13 girls and 1 guy - and queued outside the club for an hour. The queue wasn't very long but it didn't start moving until 11.20pm and then moved very slowly. We surmised that this was so that they wouldn't have to let too many people in for free (we had been told that girls get in free before 11.30pm and then get free vodka drinks). We saw a few people getting turned away during this time but we assumed they weren't on the guestlist. Other girls were turned away for not being in heels!
When we finally reached the front of the queue the female door attendant in the fur coat wanted to look at our whole group. As soon as saw our whole group she said 'sorry, it's not happening tonight' in a very rude tone. We asked why and she said we looked too young. We pointed out that we were all 21 and had ID to prove it but she refused to look at a single one of our IDs and told us to get out of the queue. She said that because it was a private members' club they could turn away whomever they wanted (which is true, but they are also providing a service to the general public so they'd have trouble hiding behind that excuse in a court of law).
We were extremely upset to have been thrown out of the queue having made a table booking and queued up for an hour. My friend started crying because her birthday was ruined. We don't know the real reason why we were turned away since we were a large group of almost all girls, all over 21 with ID, dressed appropriately (we've all been clubbing in the West End numerous times so we know how to dress to get in). We do however find it suspicious that we were turned away as soon as the door attendant saw that most of our group was Indian.
Please avoid this place that treats its customers with such utter contempt. Don't trust its reps eith
Using my degree in hospitality as a magnifying lens to guide my opinion through the esoteric world of the night club…
For an 'exclusive' club I would expect the establishment’s employee’s to reflect the class of the venue. The doorman being our first point of contact fell considerably short in appearance…however lets not judge a book by its cover, so trying to initiate communication they managed a second strike...their mannerisms upsetting my friend the actually individual who made the decision to book and pay for the table @ jalouse.
Putting frivolous matter’s behind us…
It took a while to go in considering a pre booked table.
The clipboard lady was as expected, beautiful and surprisingly polite.
There was a confusing 20£ cash entry fee.
Nice Bar decor.
Beautiful ceiling décor and lighting atmosphere.
Bath rooms are clean.
The lady that was hosting us on the table was lovely and done her role well.
We did not enjoy the music, however I am sure depending on the evening that would be hit and miss.
VIP area did not seem very VIP. No feelings of envy to be included in the VIP night club world.
Chauffeur service people where polite.
Jalouse vs Other Clubs:
Jalouse is a normal central London Night Club Jalouse however offer's...
Positive: Great crystals on the ceiling with light show definitely worth a look and great location I love hanover square.
Negatives: Small tables to close to one another, feels like london underground. Un-appropriate doorstaff.
I hope you enjoyed the review.
what happening to Jalouse!!
back from france 2 weeks ago. Last time in jalouse me and girlfriend had fun.
This time there was no any atmosphere. The venue and music still nice inside but security was rude no friendly that was not nice first to go inside with, 50£ for me and my girlfriend EACH changed him to friendly,No atmosphere inside. ! 100£ for no atomsphere?
Jalouse...not possible...my girlfriend not content, i not content!
back to france tomorrow, good-bye jalouse club.
I had the best night at Jalouse when I went recently, the crowd was fantastic and the music was good all night!The staff were very welcoming and down to earth! I'd definitely be returning.
The actual club itself is quite nice inside I must say , but the lady at the door and the bouncers are the rudsest most arragant people I have ever met . I am very unhappy and discusted with the service they provided . I had a booked table inside and they made me wait for an hour outside before they would let me in and once I was finally let in they asked me to pay 40 pounds at the door . I got my credit card out and they told me they only accept cash , A Bouncer quickly came over and dragged me out ( I am a skinny girl and I cant do much harm) and said no cash then get out !
Despite of the reviews, which I've read about before going. As I arrived there, I faced quite rude attitude from the door men and clipboard ladies. Its was unfortunate to expereince it as guy who is just visiting London. The worst thing is that I went there on cab from my hotel - Mint Hotel and had to take a cab. not much to say other than that...the only addiiotn, is that this impression will stick with me for a while.
I had the best time at Jalouse a few weekends ago!
the club had so much atmosphere and nothing like what the previous reviews had said about the door staff being ill mannered and rude.
I found them to be both helpful and polite even the ladies with the clipboards who were beautiful and down to earth.
I will recommend Jalouse to all my friends.
the Best CLUB in London
I went to Jalouse last night and they had a Mexican themed event its was amazing! Packed, wicked music, friendly and hot crowd. I think you lot should try Jalouse again!
Jalouse are you reading these reviews?
Last weekend on a company bash we arrived around 11pm. All I can say is that on first impressions - rude and sour faced clipboard lady and door staff. Appalling. Yes - welcome to Jalouse everyone.Had me wanting to do a U-turn already! Head to much friendlier places that I won't try to mention as there are plenty of other superior establishments out there that do this the right way. We had waited in the Que for around 20 minutes and had noticed our group in front of us. All sharply dressed, smart, ladies looked lovely. lady at front door has a quick scan and says "sorry but 2 of your group will not get in to this club" The group of 6 look around to each other, one asks "who won't and why?" Lady says, " I do not care to divulge in that information" Now all I noticed was that there were 2 mixed raced of say African descent that stood out as the possible 2 people in question. Everyone was dressed as glam and sharp as one another. The group walked off and nothing said. Me and my staff were up next, we all walk in. Fine. Got into the club and it was dead, very empty. Yet they formed a que of people having them wait for no real reason is an utter disgrace.Treated like dogs. Place inside looks fine and re-furbished nicely, but everything that happened prior just left a bad feeling inside, thus wishing we'd gone elsewhere. - so we had just the 2 drinks or so and I made my team leave for a place of similar ilk but alot friendlier and pleasant with none of the obvious underlying prejudices that go on in Jalouse as witnessed first hand. All we can say is that staffing and good managment, with some manners and respect go a long way making the huge difference to anyones experience. We will not be returning to Jalouse after this experience. No loss to us or my small team from JPM. Furthermore, we will not recommend this place to anyone of our companies or clients or any other organisations we deal with when promoting entertainments. Beware people and enter with caution.
A small group of us, mostly girls, went into Jalouse with a promoter and I have to say that it was everything the negative reviews said. We had to wait even going in with a promoter and the door girl and doormen were very obviously looking people up and down in the worst way. (I've been to plenty of clubs in New York, and there's a much nicer way to do this.) Anyway, after waiting in line and having half of us pay £20 each, what we found inside was very disappointing. The venue became very crowded very quickly and there was barely any space to dance. Despite how picky the door people had been, they let in plenty of people dressed in T-shirts and possibly trainers but paid for tables or shady looking hyena types. The worst part of place was how crowded it was and as we were not having any fun being shoved around on the dance floor, we left after an hour and went somewhere else.
Went here last month, the rhomboid faced Chinese girl at the door made us wait for a long time - we were charged a fortune to get in, and when we did finally make it downstairs, it was practically empty! Seriously not a fun place..
Yesterday night I ended up to queue for one hour at Jalouse. A friend of ours invited us to the club as she promotes there and we got there at 10.30 (the place opens at 11). So we were the very first in the queue. After one hour and half we were still waiting outside in the cold (we were 5 girls and 7 guys so that's really really bad and the girl at the door thought it was cool to keep us waiting w/o even saying what the 'problem' was!). Anyway the interesting thing about this is that i had to tI'me to observe why people were rejected at the door. behind us there was another group. I don't mean to offend anyone with this...but it was a mixed group - the girls were white. They all got in...Some guys were colored. So she told all of them they shirts were not appropriates (mind you they were dressed OK as far as im concerned....not wearing pimp clothes -which they really like at jalouse ahah-...but normal clothes). She didn't let them him. And although i really admired those guys for just taking it as it was and left....I would have eaten the girl alive for looking at people the way she does and be able to openly discriminating people based on look/race. I am really glad we decided to leave. And i am also glad that at 11.45 - after they had let only about 15 people in, there were only about 50 ppl in the queue. This is what this place deserve. As far as I am concerned they can enjoy themselves down there in the empty club where class is no where to be found.
Ok, so first of all getting in is not just by being on the guest list, because many people are. Especially if you are a large group of girls (no matter how pretty or well-dressed) or guys. They want mixed groups of people, and the girl at the door is just trying to do her job and not let everyone in at once in large numbers. You have actually know a promoter and have him physically there walk you in or tell the girl at the door. Or you need to have a table or be a member. Otherwise, do not complain about waiting in line or the door staff being mean to you. Yes, inside it's half empty, they keep people waiting outside to create a fuss about the club, they try to keep it exclusive, but that's just what Jalouse is. Take it or leave it at that. But this is really a good club, maybe not the best, but it does deserve proper recognition. The music is great, the venue is wonderful, and personally I enjoy myself there. So please stop giving this club bad reviews based on the fact you did not get in or the door staff was mean to you. That is not a review of the actual venue, just your poor experience there meaning you probably should go to another club. I like Jalouse, and had no problems with door staff or waiting in line too long. Me and a friend were actually nice enough to get these two guys in who otherwise couldn't although they claimed to be able to "sort it out". lol
Fun place, I do recommend if you like Maddox or Chinawhite and Cuckoo.
What a waste of a night...it definitely should not be in top 10 clubs in London it should be in top 10 don't enter clubs....
The door staff are so stuck up they think they are on the doors to Buckingham palace but forget its just jalouse.....they big it up saying how exclusive it is but its full of girls wearing nothing and even some guys with t..shirts and bombers
the music replayed the same songs twice by the end of the night i knew all the words to each song.....
never again what a waste of an outfit for me :)
Absolutely disgusting front door staff, just like others have warned.. Not worth the time to go here. The attitudes are completely out of line and condescending. I heard was speaking to other people in the line and they had been waiting for 2+ hours. I later head a club promoter that had invited me talking to the lady at the door saying that by making everyone wait it creates a certain level of exclusivity and makes them wonder why they can't get in and what is happening inside. I can tell you from friends that had purchased tables inside and had spent major £££ to have their night out that the dance floor was empty inside and everyone was just sitting by their tables. Save yourself a night of frustration and just go elsewhere.
Jalouse is Rubbish! I went there last night and the women with the guestlist said we werent in the guestlist and she had a very bad attitude. A complete biatch! We were 12 people in total and still no club promoter could let us in. The girl I guess didnt like us. We were all dress fancy and sexy (girls) . But went to the next club just right in the corner of Jalouse had a great time there and music amazing. To bad they have these people working at Jalouse they are ruin the image and if this happens to people obviously no one will like to go back. I will never set a foot in that place.
Hi does anyone know how much the belvedere bottles are? thanks
Night is what you make of it. I you are open and fun, look good, dressed well, got energy and money to spare this is the perfect escape. Stunning venue. Beautiful crowd. Amazing DJs. Great atmosphere.
The attitude of the people working in the front door is really unacceptable. It was my 4th visit at the club where I was joining my friend table, I have been told by the guy that I have to pay 20£ to get in , even my friend is spending few thousands££ on the table. I have been told that even my friends did pay 20£ when they got as they are not a club members (what members?). When I got in I asked my friends if they pay, the answer was not! It’s about the principle not about 20£. The music was great and the service “in” the club great as well. We had really good time? The entrance should be a face of the club & if “Jalouse”wants to be the “place to be” small advice change the people which a working in the front door.
I love this club, the crowd it usually brilliant and music is the best you'll experience in London. Me and my mates usually went to see the hot norwegian girl at the door but she is gone now but this is definitely the place to go to see incredible looking girls. Thumbs up!
easiest way to get in if you have no girls with you, just see the irish guy at the front and give him 20 pounds. Once you in, enjoy the girls there are so many. Amazing club.
Absolute Joke! Our whole group was allowed in because I was wearing flat shoes.!?!?! Girl on the door is a vile and jealous of pretty girls that aren't passed it like her. Honestly guys just don't bother! Pretentious and over-priced!
Jalouse is expensive! 15£ for a vodka redbull. What a crazy night. Great music but a lot of pretentious people. We tipped security man 30£. He also runs the club taxi's. Is that how club's cut costs!2 jobs in one. Maybe he owns the club too. He took us up to the rope and said we are 'spenders'. I think thats the magic word 'we spend', they are 'spenders'. I know them. They 'spend'! What a load of S! T. Then we got charged £20 again what the hell. £50 and not even a drink lol, you have to be kidding. It even cost you money to go to the toilet there! A positive. The girls are hot! We didnt get any, may be next time we have to spend more. Would we go back. Drum roll please. No. Yes. Maybe. Well the girls are hot and perhaps also just to see our little vigilant security man searching the streets for the victims he calls.'the Spenders'. P. Swhen leaving he charged us £20 for the taxi just down the road lol. Now I think that's admirable!
Hello,
new to london and went to jalouse. Had to wait in a que for a while. I tired to give money to the bouncers, It did not work and was very embarrassing! Thank you who ever wrote that. So my girlfriend and i ended up re-queuing. Eventually we got in. It was a good night. Liked the music, fancy lights on the roof. Bar staff where friendly and could speak french!!My girlfriend was happy she saw colin farrel.
All in all it was a good experience of going out in london. I dont know if i would que for as long again. We see im back in a month
I went to Jalouse on a Friday night with my housemate's company. Have to say, while the door staff seem to think they can act like they earn a million pounds a year, I did really like it in there. Firstly, the people watching opportunities are hilarious - two Russian girls I overheard in the bathrooms were plotting out who looked like the richest guy to target for champs. The lights are awesome - they have a separate DJ and lights guy! The music was pretty fab, not just commercial R'n'B, but decent remixes that really got the crowd going. You can dance on the raised platforms as much as you like, the champagne cocktails are yum. Avoid the wine at all costs unless you like paying through the nose for paint stripper. A note to the boys - my housemate went again the next week, this time not on a company junket, and he managed to get in without queuing with a bribe of £30 that went rapidly into the bouncer's pocket and entering via the service door...depends how much you can't be bothered to think of somewhere else to go I suppose!
Jalouse was an utter joke! It is show off club,where so called celebs go and dont show up, made me quewe even tho I made it there before 11pm which my girlfriends (5 of us, dressed to impress) had said we'd definately have no problems With entry. In the end I Waited till 11.30 when ladies have to pay £20.00 each! I was on Guestlist and Everything , never again would I go anywhere near Jalouse.
Never thought I would say this but I'm extremely disappointed with this night club, I go to thid club every weekend and I went today (wednesday) and a lady at the door offended me in a grotesque way she is ill mannered and extremely insulting. I've been going to jalouse since summer but tonight was my last night, so disgusted its unbelievable. Don't recommend it, movida and merah are by far much better.
We came from Paris for a weekend. We spent a great night in Jalouse on VIP area last Saturday, amazing club, great music and drinks. Prices acceptable, good service and professional, nice security. I recommend for everyone wising to spend unforgettable time. We will come back for sure!
Attended Jalous for the Jonny Rocca Fashion show...was on the guest list but still had an hours wait in the rain queing? Once in though the music was good, a great mix from the eighties...there was also a band playing called The rotten hill gang which was fronted by band member Big Audio Dinamite from the eighties...classy interior design...expensive drinks...a real mixture of people..Callum Best made an appearence...over all not a bad night.!
Would i recommend or return myself? I think yes, i would.
Vacant clubbing devoid of any fun whatsoever. Staff with a bad attitude, expensive drinks, rubbish atmosphere, rubbish music. Nice crystal ceiling though if that tickles you.
There is a word created for these kind of places: shit. I Went there yesterday with friends, were on a guest list, got there at 11 (when doors supposedly open). We were a mixed group, 3 boys/3 girls, appropriately dressed etc. Queued in the cold for 1 hour, while no more than 40-50 ppl were let in, ad when we get to the front we are told by the bitch at the front that men are no more allowed and only girls can go in. Pr guy ws completely useless, too. Shit place, shit culture, shit staff. My advice, avoid at all costs.
Avoid the place and this pr, completely unreliable. The reasons? 1) Attitude: You don't suggest a group of six to split up for the girls to get in and the boys to fuck off. Hopefully not all girls are bitches like you. 2) Service culture: you treat your customers with respect, if you are not letting men in, you don't leave them queuing for an hour, but tell them before. 3) Honestly, who do you think you are? Avoid at all costs
Bribery @ Jalouse, but not the kind were all used to seeing.
I went to Jalous last night, i was on a private table...Yet the doorman was being very rude for some reason so i reasoned with him and calmed him down and he told me the guy next to him will 'sort me out'.
Ok so this other guy told me to wait in the corner (basically out of sight), iam thinking why oh why am i waiting in the corner when iam supposed to be on a girls table for her birthday...so one of the bouncers discretely approaches me and tells me that he will give me a stamp on my hand if i pay him 40 pounds. I said sure! he told me to get the money ready and he would be back.
What did i do? I got into the first black cab i saw and went to Bungalow 8 taking some of my friends already in the club with me. And had a great night there.
There were several bouncers doing this to people, they all worked together. Doorman refuses entry, passes him to street security, street security tells you to wait in the corner, bouncer comes and takes your money and gives you a stamp, lets you in and he pockets the money.
You cant blame a guy for taking a Bribe every once in a while, but these idiots at Jalouse have actually formed their own little "business", if you can call it that.
Its quite amusing actually, however i do feel sorry for the owner his club is getting exploited by the scum he's hired.
I went to Jalouse Saturday night for my sisters birthday, we spent over £1600 for a table. half way though the night i went outside to find my boyfriend i soon realised he wasn’t outside so i turned round to go back in only to receive totally uncalled for abuse for the doorman who refused to let me back in, i had done absolutely nothing wrong and I wasn’t drunk. He was rude and obnoxious.
Definitely will not be going back!!
if you go watch out for doorman dave!
Nice venue - drinks expensive but no more than to be expected. Incredibly rude doorman and rather angry older woman on door also had heaps of attitude. Witnessed people being rejected for being overweight wearing and flat shoes, which seemed a bit harsh. Face control door policy means there are lots of attractive people - females:under 18 and relatively easy, espec if you have money. Men:older, lots of money. Music was quite good, not good enough to keep us there.
It's the better side of okay; a bit middle class, a bit too straight, guys in jeans and shirts who's ice breaker is asking where you're from and girls in dresses from ASOS.
The usual champagne avec sparklers bought by 'older/ not from around here 'guys in the lonely looking VIP area.
The crystal ceiling is cool - it's low too so has a nice lounge feeling but with raised areas so everyone has a chance to dance up there, touch the ceiling and feel important.
But everyone still dances in the same general direction, fanning towards the DJ booth, looking over heads towards nowhere, so you get the feeling they don't have anyone they want to dance with or haven't yet seen anyone.
The staff are friendly inside but there's a queue outside so don't expect the doormen to be.
