Dear Customers,

Alex Proud here again. Thanks for taking the time to post comments as it is really interesting to see what people think and I always want to improve the place.

1) Loos and getting from one room to another. This has now ended as there are loo blocks (clean and attended) at both ends. I have not seen a queue for the loo for a long time now as we invested £100 000 in putting the new block in.
Getting from one room to another is now much more simple as with a new fire exit we do not have the old fire limits on some rooms (now higher) and so we don’t have to stop people coming in at such a low level. In theory this should not happen again.

2) Staff. Most nights I get nothing but compliments on our staff and I see the size of their tips at the end of the night and it seems to reflect this. But i will re double our efforts here.

3) Front door. Ditto and will again try harder to make it more friendly, I agree front doors should be non pretentious.

4) Prices are average for London and we now have a Bud Ice on for £3 and in New year will do student prices on Mon - Wed nights.

5) Gallery. The shows change every two months and are well reviewed in the press. This is something you either like or you don’t, sorry!

6) We NEVER stop people coming when we are not full. Below I seem to get told off when there is no queue and again when it is too long! It’s a simple function of if we are full or not and I hate people having to wait to get in.

7) I hope we are still around in a few years as I enjoy running the place and we try very hard to keep our game high. Not every night will please every person, but we do try our very best and will be announcing lots of new nights for the spring.

8) We have refurbished all the stables and I hope they look a lot better now.

9) We have seating for around 350 people contrary to what was said below.

Again always feel free to e mail me with complaints as I do listen and want to improve. Thank you for c

I went to Proud Galleries last Thursday for one of their RIF RAF nights. My mate had told me about it and said that because of the cool, new bands they have on that they attract a really friendly crowd. Anyway, so i went down to check it out and had an amazing time. Everyone was happy and dancing and enjoying themselves until 2 in the morning! And that was on a school night. I've heard that other nights aren't that great and that there can be some tossers around (sometimes even the staff) but I can't recommend RIF RAF highly enough. They've got thecocknbullkid playing at the end of november. I will definitely be going back, if only on the last thursday of every month. At least you get it right once a month Mr Proud!xxx

Unfortunately now every person who works there is a tosser. The female 'promoters' on the door are rude, offensive and bitter that they are getting on a bit and don't have a proper job yet! The bar staff are also complete stuck up idiots confused of their place in life. Prices are a joke esp now as entry has been hiked up(and they wonder why it never fills up till about 11.30 and why the bar Qs are so low!) What Alex Proud needs to understand is this...its Camden and there are plenty of nice bars and Proud galleries needs to up its game. People dont mind spending money for good drinks but being shafted by rude door staff will turn people away. Theres no seating in Proud so you cant expect people to turn up before 10!!!!After a good summer its lost its edge which has seen an older and more male dominated venue. it will be a truly no-place in a few years....

Went on Friday, was really really impressed. Arrived at 11, in straight away. Drinks are fair price, good crowd - no posh nob ends and no scum, Door staff seemed nice altho i can see how peeps may find then non-bouncer staff pretentiousy which is a huge problem in clubs all over London. For me what can make or break a club's rep utation is the people on the door. If you have that twaty stuck up bitch with her clip-board being wanky then its diff not to have a bad night.
The place is getting a big reputation around north london atm but I just hope is stays as it is and keeps away hiring clip-board wielding tosspots!

I was expecting something different.
I don't know why. You felt like you were in an indie music video with everyone pouting. The bar staff were rude and pretentious. The drinks were very expensive! £3.50 or something for a bottle of perona!

To use the loo (which is on the other end of the place which by the way is huge) you had to queue to get out of one room and then queue again for the actual toilets and then queue to get back in to the room you were in originally. (This must have changed by now I hope) The fact that you had to queue for ages to get into one of the rooms to find that not only was it empty the music would be enough to send you to sleep!

The gallery is not really interesting either just generic black and white photos of cult musicians and other famous people... The same type of generic photos you'd see in a pub maybe but they don't go round calling it a gallery.

A few good thing were the bands they had lined up. They were actually good.

I think I understand what they're doing I've just seen better art and better atmosphere at union art gallery and warehouse art and music parties.

Surely you staff standing in the cold doesn't give them the right to be rude ???

I visited proud on Saturday night. I used to be a regular last summer, after visiting recently I was hugely disappointed. I had to queue for an hour and half even though we were on a guest list...it was the worst experience of my life! I found the
poeple with the guest lists highly pretensious thinking they were the epitome of cool. They stood there laughing and drinking whilst we had to stand a queue for a ridiculous time in the cold. When I got inside the club, there was so much space...so god knows why it was one in one out! Such a shame that this club has become highly pretentious like the rest of the west end clubs.
