Went there last Friday. The club decor looks very cheap and the interior is just too simple. Maybe I went for a wrong night, but the atmosphere was so dull that we left after 20 minutes.

we went here on a saturday and 4 people in our group had the entire contents of our bags stolen! the staff weren't very helpful either, telling us "this happens all the time". watch your bags in the downstairs club bit!

Went last night to see Sub Focus, but how disappointing. The woman at the door was such a moron-trying to justify that the club downstairs is loud because that's how electo should be heard when we simply just gave some feedback that its way too loud down there. What a fruitloop! I think she needs to retire from door girl status.

The downstairs club/bar is TOO LOUD - Nuff Said! Check out your sound-system! Also I'm sure it broke all the safety regs on capacity. A perfectly good night ruined but overcrowdedness and bad sound system. Go to Berlin and see how bouncers ensure a good night out and actually bounce morons that make it inside to ruin it for others.

The upstairs bar had bad tunes as well, with dj's lacking in technical ability to mix. Monotony and just bad djing.

What a pathetic excuse for a club, definitely won't be a return client, no matter who is playing.

I'd like to give it a half star - 1 star is too generous.

Great venue and good music.

We go all the time to see Norman Jay play and have never had a bad night down there.

This bar has pretty reasonable decor and music but the drinks are pretty poor. i had a mojito that was way too sweet and a daiquiri that had the paint stripper taste that comes with poor quality rum. The staff were also quite rude, i had to wait at the bar for staff to finish their lengthy conversation before they served me. But the biggest issue i have is with the management - we had our coats on the seat where we were sitting and standing and were asked to move them on health and safety grounds which then turned into because they couldn't take responsibility if they were stolen but was actually due to the hefty profit they wanted to make on the cloak room. Trust me there are much better places to spend an £8 cover charge.
