Stayed in here for several drinks at the end of a Friday night. Security guy on the door was very friendly, even though we walked past the place earlier and didn't come in, he was joking with us when we came back. It was busy in side, lots of music, dancing on the stage, DJ playing. There was very little beer on offer, so just drank some shorts. Toilets located down steep stairs be careful heading down, especially after few drinks. Overall not a bad spot.
We pop in at 23.30 on Tuesday night for a corporate party, we were 20 people. Despite we were the only customers, literally no one else was in the club, the manager, a tall lady with curly hair, tread us as we were disturbing her peacefulness she was to confy not to work. We ordered a couple of bottles of champagne and ask her if we could choose some songs to play. She replied that they didn’t pay for any djs and so no requests were welcome. We kept drinking our bottles and enjoy ourselves. I won’t ever recommended to come to this place! The security guy was so nice though.
I went in and they just had beer, nothing else. Then I requested the bartender working in there for gluten free beer, in the end it was not gluten free and I had stomach issues afterwards. I find it very ignorant, insulting and disrespectful that you do not even know what you are offering. Saying sorry will not change anything as I already suffered and my stomach had bad reactions.
First: no beer selection. Second and more importantly: really bad staff and no worries about safety measures. If someone suffered an accident incide if it, they don't care. For example: the main door is a glass door and has nothing to show when it is close even with the safety rules says need to have something, so with their bad light this can easily be mistaken as with an open door and make someone hit on it. And when this happens, the only thing they say is: yeah, it were closed.
Last night, I found myself at this Latin-themed bar that felt like a fever dream I still can’t shake. You know those places where you just sit there wondering if you’ve accidentally wandered onto a set for the strangest reality show? That was this place, except it was very, very real. First off, let me tell you about the patrons. Bizarre doesn’t even begin to describe it. I saw a guy who casually pulled out a roll-on deodorant and licked it. Not just a little taste either—full-on licked it off his girlfriend’s armpit like it was a gourmet treat. And the girlfriend? Totally unfazed, like it was part of their regular Saturday night routine. If there’s a weirder way to bond, I’d like to not know it. Then, there was this old man, maybe in his 70s, who danced with all the energy of a newborn baby deer learning to walk. His legs were bending and wobbling in ways that seemed almost supernatural, and yet, he had the time of his life. I gotta give it to him, though—his enthusiasm was contagious. I almost wanted to join in, though I doubted I could replicate his… technique. Meanwhile, two girls were beefing hard over a dude who seemed completely oblivious to the drama unfolding around him. The guy was just chilling with his mojito, enjoying his night, while these two locked in a silent war of glares and whispered insults that cut through the music. Things were heating up when, out of nowhere, one of the girls stormed off—only to immediately take a tumble down the stairs. It wasn’t just a little stumble, either. She went full-on somersaulting down the steps, limbs flailing like she was trying out for a circus act. The whole bar gasped, but in true wild-night fashion, she popped up like nothing happened, shook it off, and went right back to glaring at her rival. Honestly, if that doesn’t scream dedication, I don’t know what does. And then there was the music. It was classic Latin dance vibes for most of the night, until the DJ dropped the most random track of all time: a baile funk remix of “Panda” by Desiigner. At first, I was thinking, “This is a crime against music,” but then it hit me—it actually slapped. The beat was unnecessary in the best possible way, and by the end of the night, everyone was losing it on the dance floor like it was the anthem they didn’t know they needed. All in all, it was one of the weirdest, yet oddly unforgettable nights I’ve had. If you’re into chaotic vibes, questionable life choices, and unexpectedly good remixes, this place is the spot. Just maybe leave your roll-on deodorant at home.
Drinks are wildly overpriced even for London. They have a 10-person at a time outdoor policy which I couldn’t possibly have known about. Security acted like I was trying to go behind the bar when all I’d done was try and enter the smoking area. Really unhelpful for people like myself who feel the need to step outside every now and then due to the crowd and music causing anxiety. Besides there is loads of space in the area and there was clearly no risk of overcrowding so I don’t know why this policy exists in the first place. Go here is you want to pay £20 a drink and be treated like a child. I’ll certainly never be back.
Not the first time there I this time the disappointment was massive after we order 2 baby Guinness and came with £20 price tag. Ridiculous over priced and for a Friday night place was completely empty we got our shots and leave.Service: 1/5
Very funky 1980s tropical Neon decor, that's what made me come In and take a look around also I was given a flyer for a free shot outside. So first impressions were good. Lots of neon, people dancing, the place looked fantastic. If you like selfies? This is the place for you. I had my free shot and it was like drinking concentrated ribena, I don't think it was even alcohol. I ordered a beer and it was served in a CAN! and was overpriced. I sat down and tried to soak up the vibes and have a chat with my friends. The music was pretty good, but It was rediculously loud and tinny with no bass. I had to shout about an inch from my friends ear for him to hear anything I was saying. I only stayed for one drink due to this. I wouldn't call this a club, I'd call it an good looking but overpriced converted pub with a bad sound system. I wasn't charged an entrance fee because I arrived before the cut off time. I would have been even more disappointed. I'm giving this place 2 stars due to how cool the place looks. Nothing more.
Free entrance before 22.00 pm. Afterwards, you may pay 5£. It is a “different” place to have some drinks in London. You can find environment from all over the world, and of all ages. The music was rare, just because I think de DJ wanted to make happy to all the public. It started with some Brazilian music, then I listened some Spanish tunned music versions, reggateon and finally US pop. They have lot of cocktails and the price increases from 10.00 pm. Do not go too late because probably you will not get in. Honestly, It is a different place in London to enjoy the night and it is economically affordable.
Been there first time and it was nice although we went 12am,I didn’t expect the music to be soo good,they were playing Bollywood bangers and some mix music. I would recommend and bring my friends next time.Service: 4/5
