Reviews

We are new customers as were looking for a regular place to go, even though we live over 100 miles away. I'd read some quite bad reviews about the door staff and grumpy bar staff and it did put me off going a little but been 4 times now and found it incredibly welcoming, friendly staff except one and the door staff are absolutely wonderful. We travel around inclusive bars a lot for work and this feels very safe and inclusive. I can't fault it at all other then costs, drinks are quite expensive at a weekend and the quality of them especially the vodka and postmix isn't good, also the entrance charge is high at £7 but you can avoid this if you goto the box bar next door before 10pm which is ok as you are supporting a really good venue, you can also purchase their membership card which costs £30 but you will get discounted entry and various promotions, although apparantly not on the drinks which is a shame but overall a cracking place with friendly people, friendly staff in a really fun and safe environment with a higher proportion of the gay community than other venues at around 60% so from our point of view it's worth the 200 mile trip each weekend, that says something : It's important that we support good LGBTQ+ venues and keep are spaces and I'd definitely say this one is worth supporting.

Great night ruined by rude staff and management. Upon arriving 0.0014 seconds over last entry I know this because they decided to shove the CCTV video in our faces. From a polite discussion on our end trying to find out the underlying issues the security clearly had, we were met with aggressive behaviour as well as swearing and shouting in our faces. Jill - the elderly security guard was laughing at us which was quite bizarre considering she kept on persisting she was trying to help.  This is when the manger came out whom was clearly under the influence of something although he spitted at us persisting he was sober. He was not wearing socks and decided the hurl abuse at my friend in the form of shouting “FUCKING SLAG”. Not great for a club that is all about inclusivity.

Tedious entry requirements and limits, overbearing and almost hostile door staff and management, rather than being the edge, it seems to be the very deepest of pits. It's a wonder anyone ever comes in or they stay in business with their practise.

bartenders are so good at their jobs it kinda turns me on, the music is high key dog poo though but i think that’s the fault of the clientele not the dj, i’m sure the djs are highly competent

Used to enjoy this place until I had the displeasure of being asked because a friend of someone I had come in with didn’t like me when she had dragged me round the club with her introducing me to her friends that she didn’t even know were there.

I haven’t been to the edge in a very long time but I can say that every time I do it is a good night. The place and people inside are great and you can really let your hair down but it is a dread going to the door sometimes with some of the door people on shift if I’m honest. I hope the nice manager sorts that’s out so I can book the VIP area with some friends.

Used to be a friendly venue and safe place for LGBTQIA+ people. Now it’s unfriendly, and full of straight people and that’s if the ginger woman on the door let’s you in, who is quite possibly the rudest person I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting on the door to a club, as many others here have said. The whole place has an unfriendly and rude vibe now which is a shame as it’s meant to be a scene venue and you think they would build relationships with customers not be flat out rude to them.

Wish I could put 0 stars but that’s not possible. We arrived at the venue at 3am on the dot and were denied entry, we tried to explain we were there on time which quickly turned sour. When leaving, the manager shouted after my friend “f***ing sl*g”. Jill, the security lady wasn’t much better, getting rather mouthy with all of us. May I add the manager was not wearing socks!!! Avoid at all costs, not particularly inclusive and quite frankly misogynistic.

Lots of fun and dancing. Friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for helping me find my bag, Lewis.

The bar had a lovely atmosphere. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and I felt comfortable being myself around here. Bonus points for having unisex bathrooms. I can't speak about the club since it was too early I think for it to be busy, and was fairly empty at the time.
