Pretty small club, average music, so easy to get in, no way a £20 club tho, quality of girls mixed, some decent ones but some smash and dash types which I ain’t a fan of. TBH if you can’t get in Punk you should forget clubbing cos some of my friends are busted and they get in.

We had a great night at PUNK! The music was epic and met some really cool people down there.
Even though the ugly blond woman was very rude to my friend who is a model. He came straight from a shoot and and she told him he had no sense of fashion and she couldn't let him in like this, so he had to go home!
We tried to speak to the manager (who was very hot btw!)but he said it up to the woman.
Anyway we had a great time even without our friend.
Highly recommend!

An awful night, I would strongly not recommend. The staff were extremely rude and it felt as though they couldn’t care less about anyone they just wanted to make as much money as possible. Mistakenly we booked a 30 people guest list for a Birthday. Though promised free entry before 11 for girls they tried to charge us £10 and when we complained the very aggressive female bouncer told us she could charge “whatever the fuck she liked” hiking up entry to £20 for everyone. When the Birthday girl asked to speak to the manager she was thrown out even though she had played. We all refused to pay, and went elsewhere. Inside the club was empty, the way they deserved it. there is plenty worthy clubs and bars in soho, go elsewhere for a good night.

I find this very unlikely, sounds to me as though your guests were below par in regards to quality and you were refused entry. I suggest a nice leister square venue for your next night out.

I've been to PUNK 3 times and I must say it is one of my favourite clubs in London. My friends and I have never had a bad experience there, and we love the music and vibe of the club. I highly recommend this club to anyone who wants a fun night out in London.

I went to punk for a friend of a friends birthday and would not recommend it to anyone unless you enjoy going to clubs with dull music and full of people pretending to be something they're not. Me and my friend left after one ten quid drink as we were frankly bored. Bit annoying as we were made to queue outside for an hour beforehand even though we were on the guestlist, but I think that gives you an idea of just how not worth it this club is! We made a swift exit and went to gay heaven instead where we had a brilliant night.

Went to PUNK last week after a couple of friends told me about it. I didn't know what to expect because I don't go out a lot but I had a great time. The club was very social and the people were friendly. I loved the music they played which ranged from house to pop to rock. Next time I go out, I will hopefully return to PUNK.

Can't wait for Friday again! We work on Soho Square, but never been inside until we got an invitation through a friend last week. It was very good! We went early so all got in free and some free cocktails as well!
Fridays are very good, we might check out Saturday as well this week. Keep it up guys!

Had a ball here last saturday for my friend Johns 28th. Drinks were reasonable compared to West End clubs I've been to recently and the crowd didn't have the same pretentiousness as others. People were actually having fun rather than pretending they belonged. You'll be seeing a lot more of me.

Edgy, fashionable, different and top class service.

This club may be strict with its selection of clientele but it is definitely with good reason. Went on a Saturday, loved the music, amazing DJ's, friendly and efficient staff.. The crowd keeps getting better!.. Perfect for birthday's and/or just a great night out with your mates on a Saturday night!.

I went to PUNK last Friday for my first time and it was a great experience! The staff was very friendly from the bartenders to the bouncers. I got there before 11 and was with a group of all females so we got complimentary entry. The music was great, everyone was dancing the entire night and the crowd was fun and energetic. We stayed until 3 and danced the whole time. I would recommend PUNK to anyone who wants a sophisticated but fun nightclub and enjoys dancing as much as I do! I will definitely go back.

Saturdays are the best night in London Fact!

What a night! By far the best crowd I've seen in a London Club! everyone came to party!
They also had Ollie Humphreys Djing who i recognised from Maddox! he's amazing!

Drink prices were ok, we bought a table which was on the dance floor, great service, and a great atmosphere! This is going to be my new sat night every week. Honestly if you have never been! you have to go!

Went to this club last night and received really bad treatment. We were meeting up with friends for a hen party. We had booked a table which we sat at for a couple of hours. Then they decided that it wasn't our table and they insisted we moved. When we refused they used underhand tactics to get us to move. Eventually they accepted that they had made a mistake and not reserved us a table so they chucked another group off a table so we could sit down! This club is also a rip off. You pay a large amount per head to get a table which is supposed to include waiter service but as the night went on this became non-existent. On top of that they insist on you agreeing a 'minimum spend' on drinks of a large amount. They behave like a flash glamorous place but in fact it is small poorly decorated and expensive. There was a queue twenty-deep for the ladies all through the night, the music was awful and some of the staff were rude and unhelpful. I would not go to this club again.

I wasn't happy when i arrived on friday evening for my birthday after having organised with Charlotte my guestlist. My party of 10 were told that we would only be allowed in if we got a table with a minimum spend of £650 which i said was unacceptable as not all of us drank. i was then told by the lady at the door that "this isn't a free night you know" when i told her that a few of us were muslim and didn't drink she said its at the managements discretion and we weren't to be accepted unless we got a table.

Punk would think twice before advertising on their website that " This is NOT a venue that charges extortionate drink prices, denies you at the door because of your trainers and has posers propping up the bar. Punk ushers in a more casual, hip policy that rebels against the establishment and is all about good times, dancing and music that puts a smile on your face"

Well we were all dressed to impress and so I don't see why this happened. In the end we went to Alto where we all happily paid £20 to gain entrance and some of my friends got a table for £200 and others joined afterwards so my birthday wasn't ruined but I am shocked with your member of staff's response "that this isn't a free night out you know!"

I have complained to the club as i feel this is border line racist as you cant deny entrance to someone as they dont drink!!

Don't try and play the race card, it gets boring.
Think of it from a management side, 10 people in there with some not drinking that's terrible for business, with the table its only £65 per head and I know I spent more than that this Saturday so they're perfectly within their right to say what they did.
And they can deny entry if you don't drink, its a club that's what you go for, try sit at a table in a restaurant without ordering and see how long you last.

For God's sake, ofcourse there are people who don't drink and enjoy clubbing. That's not the issue here. It seems to me that this is another one of those pretentious little clubs that thinks just because it’s situated in Soho it’s better than it is.

I am a student at a central London University. We were promised free entrance and to be on the guest list after our Graduation ball at a West-End hotel. Turned up at 1am and told there was no guest list. The door people laughed at us and said we were over-dressed anyway. Really really poor attitude and hope people post enough reviews to show the club and their arrogance for what it is.

Went to Punk last Saturday, as they had a Fuel girls performances and it was hot and sexy. They really got the crowd going, I have to say men definitely loved it. I remember coming to Punk years ago and now it looks really chick, with amazing atmosphere. One of my girlfriends had table reserved, service was amazing, any spillage was cleaned straight away and little shots on arrival were so so tasty and great spice up at the beginning. Really good night Punk! Never expected it to be to be honest. Will definitely come back for those amazing Malibu shots :))

DO NOT GO. Despite reserving and paying a deposit for tables we were turned away by the doorman (who even tried to claim he was a manager) claiming that we should have girls in our party and saying it was 'club policy' despite there being nothing stated in the terms and conditions on the confirmation email I received in advance from the manager. Sheer arrogance and judging from the queue, full of wannabes who love themselves. In the end we had a great night in a place down the road-no thanks to Punk.

This place HAS got to be the worst place in the world!!!If I could rate it nothing I would!!!I went to punk on a Friday night for a mates birthday, who had booked out the VIP area. I paid £5 to get in, this was around 7ish! On this particular night it was rock-aoke and it was fun! Basically come 10 pm the bouncers and some dude told us that there was going to be a private party and that everyone had to leave to VIP area AND VENUE! some of my mates had just literally paid to get in but were forced to leave too. We had no refund. We treated absolutely awful. Friend was really upset on her birthday.

A nice little venue in the center of london, however their drinks prices are just astronomical, and it is even more disgusting by the fact that on their own website they specifically state "This is NOT a venue that charges extortionate drink prices". £4 for a shot, £5 for a beer, £3 for a soda water make it more expensive than some of the major clubs in city (such as Ministry). Furthermore there is a 12.5% service charge on top if you use your card!! Thanks, but no thanks

Punk is the ultimate place to go on a thursday night. It has "i Got F*ked at Your Mums House" party on Thursday nights which is the most amazing time you can possibly have on a Thursday night, honestly. I really like the staff too, the Italian cloakroom guy is pretty nice. The drinks are good. The price are not the cheapest of course, but the more prices get cheaper the more weirder the place gets. I think the queue outside is understandable since it's not the biggest nightclub in London, but seriously I think it's worth the wait. I was never let down on a Thursday night!

I did not even get inside the club. I had confirmed previously via e-mail with PUNK that me and my two friends who where travelling down from Manchester would be on the guest list. I arrive and we're not on the guest list. So big embarrassment from the start. Then the door staff proceed to mock our accents and be incredibly rude to us while we try and find the e-mail confirmation. So in the end, we decided to go elsewhere.

Punk was a HUGE letdown. I had expected a great night due to the reviews online and the website, which made the place look amazing. How wrong I was! The door staff and cloakroom dude were spectacularly rude, as was the barman who chose to ignore me (yes I'm short, but he could clearly see me) ... The place was full of 30+ suits rather than the younger clientele I'd expected, so I felt rather out of place (late teens). It was also really small and cramped.

Punk Soho Street is average. We paid £20 to get in after 12pm and annoyingly just as we paid and walked down the stairs a stream of people walked out the club. Their reason for exit was obvious, its such an average club and the the vibe was flat, drinks just as expensive as anywhere else.
Gone are the days for paying for what you get, clubs now just ask for £20 at the door so when you turn around and walk out they've still made money!

Loo's were poor and very small - please get rid of the Bog troll selling lolly pops and give me some space to wash my hands!!

On the Sat night we went Music was good towards the end but DJ kept leaving the booth to chat up girls so god know how much mixing he was doing, pre-made mix tape me thinks!

average average average. Make it £10 entry or half price on guest list and i may be back...

Really don't agree with a lot of the bad reviews on here
i went on Saturday night for my birthday with a couple of friends and it was great
we had to queue but not for long at all and the queue moved fast
doormen and lady on the door were all lovely and the bar staff were lovely too. coat-check man was a little bit hostile but nothing major
shots were 5 pounds but this is London and for such a different club its worth it i think
music was great.
they played stuff like eye of the tiger and living on a prayer through to modern top of the charts stuff- great for if your friends have different music tastes and you don't just want a monotonous drone you cant sing along too.
I was glad to find there was lots of seating that was unreserved and the people there all seemed nice, young people (no creepy old men lurking about)
toilets weren't amazing but i didn't go there for them so no problem.
personally i really enjoyed it, i had a great time and a good birthday- amazing atmosphere and would definitely go again

No sure what all the fuss is about. I had a really good time here. Staff seemed fine to me (door, bar and even the manager said hi). Prices were a little more than I pay at my local pub or a bar but still A lot cheaper than some other clubs i've been to in the west end (been to a few that have charged up to £14 for a spirit and coke!). Music was so much fun too. Defo coming back!
