Electrowerkz Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Events

Pros:

• "for all the goths and metal heads of london last friday night of every month (voodoo rock) and every saturday night (gothic slimelight) fantastic people and atmosphere!"
• "Brilliant venue for club nights"
• "Great music, very well structured"
• "Very interesting dancing experience to traditional Arabian music."
• "An amazing goth temple in London. Three floors of consistently good tunes, between hard rock and 80s goth to edm and industrial."
• "Cool venue, loads to it! Multiple floors of music, open mic karaoke, friendly staff and even a few videogames on the side."
• "The music is banging, the visuals are trippy and intriguing and the crowd is queer and friendly."

Cons:

• "Went to a gig recently and was a little disappointed."
• "A woeful sound system and very studenty"
• "People had barely any room to move! The venue looked great, but the fact that you had squeezed hundreds more people than the capacity of the place is irresponsible and dangerous."
• "exactly the same dance music in all 3"
• "astonished how little effort had been put into delivering the event"
• "The music was slightly annoying in that the space echos a lot, so even though it wasn't that loud, it was hard to hold a conversation without shouting."
• "I tried to go to a gig here but the security staff were really unpleasant and wouldn't let me in."

• "Food was very well cooked and drinks were bought out quick too."
• "The food was superb & great value for money."

Cons:

• "The toilets and dark room would have needed a bio hazard suit on"
• "Only accepts cash and will let you wait in line for 30+ mins without making you aware of it."
• "Also the dressing room cost 5, which I’ve never seen in Europe"
• "Used 2 different toilets there: one had no paper, second had all cabin doors broken and not closing. And they are all 'genderless' toilets with men peeing next to broken cabins. Pathetic."
• "The bathrooms are a serious problem, when I went there was 1 cubicle not out of order for all of the ladies, this cubicle had no lock and was almost totally unlit."
• "I have knocked a star off as yet again the loos really need attention. One basin had a broken tap and there was no hand dryers or towels."

Value & Pricing

Pros:

• "Great venue, absolutely fantastic space!!"
• "The bars have a wide selection of drinks though the beer comes in cans and pricing is on the high side."
• "Only costs £8, £5 for members"
• "For me personally, a good range of IPA's on-tap, that were tasty as well as refreshing & appears some good Beers/largers too."
• "Great place."

Cons:

• "Also the dressing room cost 5, which I’ve never seen in Europe"
• "The bars were a bit shambolic, staff didn't know what peroni was and usually bars are stocked before events not early on during them and 2 hours in bars were out of drinks."
• "Drinks way overpriced, 6gbp for a can and not much choice."
• "The only things that let it down a bit on the night were the drink prices...£5 for a small bottle of Peroni? And £5 for a shot of Captain Morgans (which was more like half a shot)."
• "Coat check in was £2.50 per item. Personally I feel this was pricey. Beers were about £6 something and if I recall they were not main branded lagers/ beers."
• "Very overpriced for the quality of experience they offer."
• "BIG SCAM!!! DON'T GO! Our evening was ruined..."

• "Very close to Angel tube station this venue is on two floors each with its own event space and bars."

Cons:

• "its a easy to get a bit turned around and some of the corridors are very narrow which is annoying for crowded events"
• "Big venue with great alternative events but extremely dingy with dodgy stairways."
• "Too many stairs and uneven surfaces not ideal for hills but all marked and rails installed all the way around."
• "If you have accessibility needs I'd call ahead to ask about them- this is an old venue on multiple floors so lots of stairs, uneven flooring, and cobble."
• "As usual when one goes to Electrowerkz it is all about who you're with as the venue is just stairs, stairs and more stairs. If you're mobility challenged, the venue won't work for you."
• "The place could do with come tlc though, bare wooden floors doors with missing windows, seating ripped and slashed and it smells like sweaty balls."
• "Erm to big and cold and food is not good."
