The Tassel Club is not in Pigalle Club any more - it has moved - so we found out when we went a few Fridays ago. We took a chance and turned up hoping to see a Tassel Club show and when the manager offered us free entry we decided to take a chance and go in.
What a nightmare. Horrid food, horrid music and just grim all round.
What a different a few weeks makes to a once prize venue in London.
I cant imagine this place will be open for much longer, sad to see it like that.

We spotted that The Tassel club has moved to East end, to Proud Cabaret

We will probably be going this weekend to check it out.

Disappointed about this lovely venue.

This is the first time I've left a review on one of these sites and the Pigalle is well worth the effort.

Myself and fiancé went to the Pigalle this Saturday gone, after a recommendation from a friend. We went for the meal with show and experienced the musical talents of the Jazz Dynamos.

I run a production & event company and have been to quite a few venues in my time so how did the Pigalle fair on my first visit?

What can I say? The club had a fantastic atmosphere - sumptuous furnishings, wonderfully moody lighting, great choice in pre-show music and a general all round great vibe.

The menu wasn't the biggest choice but then being a set menu, I didn't expect there to be. The food was superb and well worth the cost of the meal. We both had the steak which was cooked to perfection and absolutely faultless.

Being a big cocktail fan I always like to try new ones when out & about and the Passion Pigalle was a good choice. Many cocktails were consumed over the course of the evening and it just got better.

Show time came and the Jazz Dynamos were superb. We were treated to a 5 piece band – 2 singers (1 with percussion), keyboard, strings & drums and the range of music they covered would put many other bands to shame. Across their 3 sets we had jazz, swing, latino, golden oldies and up to date chart music. They really were top notch and covered all types of music with much style and class.

The staff gave great service and always with a smile on their face. Always on hand when you needed them but never in your face or constantly bothering you as some establishments do. We felt welcome and looked after at all times.

So that was it. A top night at a top venue with great food and drink, fantastic entertainment and all round fabulous service.

Will we be back? You bet we will.......!

The staff were great, the cocktails were gorgeous, and the music was fantastic. However the food was not up to scratch I felt it was not worth £45. The starters of prawns were okay, the sea bream main course was burnt and well over cooked, and the dessert was again just okay. Was a real shame.

I would go again just for cocktails and drinks!!

Hello. We hope our review will be helpful for everyone considering going to The Pigalle Club - in particular to The Tassel Club on Friday nights. We have been 4 times now! Each time the show was different, each time we had fun and what really prompted us to write now (rather than after the other 3 times!) is that the food was totally delicious last week! We were prepared for the worst you see - we had read all the reviews and thought maybe it might be mediocre at best but honestly - instead of bracing yourself for bad food - expect a pleasant surprise! Or several if you include the fun show that has been constant in it's variety and standard since we started coming last July.

Let us know if you have a good night - We'd be interested to see if it's just us who have noticed a change in the menu and standard of food - which, to be honest - we never thought was terrible - just a bit 'standard supper club'. We love The Pigalle Club - and will continue to venture in any Friday we are at a loose end. The show is great fun, we have a dance afterwards and still make it home on the last tube because its seconds from Piccadilly Circus. (regent St South exit btw! Took us ages to work that out!) We normally paid £55 for show and dinner - and Ive just seen Tickets are now 1/2 price! Go - enjoy it - it's a really unique experience. Mark

We visited this club, even though we read the reviews here (-0_0-) - and i have to say - we really liked it. Food was so much better than expected - We had great pasta, i know that's not hard to get right but - mains were ok too. It's not the best food Ive had in London but - i actully thought it was reasonable to quite good! We certainly didnt complain on the night. I wonder if the people below actually brought their complaints to the staff on the night - As for the show - we went to a cabaret night there which was funny as hell, stylish and well worth the experience - will definitely take a chance and go back again. Its not cheap, but its by no means as terrible as some of these reviews. You are in the heart of london and to be honest - i think its well worth a visit. Pauline & jon

Music/performers fantastic (mowtown), seating great, atmosphere lovely but please, please do something with the food, or the chef. The starter was like baby food, the lamb was cheap, fatty and undercooked. The desert arrived looking like it had been in a accident. This is London and if The Pigalle doesn't sort this out someone else should copy the idea and do it better! There are few places 40+ can go for a fab night out without it being inundated with 'teenie boppers', so come on Pigalle show us what the place could really be like and sack the chef!

We were at the Peter green and Friends show on 9th Dec 2009.IWe were greeted with a very warm welcome however after that the experience went downhill..The food was very poor value and yes you have to buy veg as an addition!! The cheeseboard was awful and all for just £65. That said it was an experience to see Peter Green....glad to see him out there and performing. Pigalle Club could be soo much better...what a pity.

I hate writing reviews but thought I ought to put a few things straight here! What a bunch of moaners! Jesus, are you the kind of people that moan in the queues at places like Disneyland because you expect the park to yourself?! Lets get things straight here. Yes the venue is small, it's cosy, it's intimate, its quite atmospheric. I rather liked it. If you don't like that sort of place, don't go - it is obvious what it is from the website!

Lets get a little bit of a reality check and compare: It's not a poxy arena where you would pay the same £65 (if you're lucky) to see someone like U2 or Coldplay. Similarly, it is not Le Manoir- don't expect it to be! If you want a meal, go up the road to the Ivy! Look at it like this - your £65 got you a reasonable meal as a bonus, because hopefully the real reason that you went was to be in the presence of the great Peter Green! If you don't think that alone was worth 65 quid - you really should not have been there at all! Peter performed admirably and appeared to be enjoying himself. The rest of the band were wonderful and appreciative of the (largely) wonderful audience which, lets face it, went to see Peter.

Great Blues, great sax, great drums (esp on albatross), lovely keys, nice bass, nice guitar, well fronted. Anyhow, rant over - my old man (who has just recovered from a heart attack) and I had a great night. Thanks to Peter and his friends,and the staff at the Pigalle Club who could not do enough for us. I for one hope that Peter got plenty of the £65 - Christ knows he deserves it with his contribution to British Blues. It was my first and probably the only time I'll get to see the great man - and realistically - I wouldn't have liked it any other way.

Congrats to the Pigalle and to the band and lets hope that Peter stays healthy and continues to play! Get real you ungrateful sods!

This was the rip off experience from hell. Starting with a greeter that snarled rather than greeted. Having booked several months in advance for an office party, we arrived to be seated at two separate tables. (no apology). The food was disgusting.....suckling pig was actually 2 slices of pork from the deli.....the roast turkey was a slab of turkey pressed roll.....and would you believe, not a potato to be seen....for £50 for a 3 course meal, you have to purchase vegetables seperately. Desserts were no better! The music was amateur at best - by the time you added in the veg and wine we were looking at £100 per head for absolute garbage!. The restaurant was also dirty and not the place you would expect to take someone in a capital city!
