Atmosphere and Venue

Pros:

• "The students absolutely loved the atmosphere of the venue and had a great night."

• "Love this venue. A lot of fun has been had here."

• "All in all a really fun venue. Nice and chilled and for the most part unpretentious, whilst maintaining an awesome vibe."

Cons:

• "This is one of those places which cram way too many people in and don’t have enough space to accommodate."
• "The whole place was a MESS."
• "The place had no proper ventilation, even in the outside area it felt like a sauna."
• "It's pretty grubby inside and the music is so loud you cant hear yourself think."
• "Filthy toilets and possibly the worst music ever!!"
• "Venue itself is also a great vibe with so many cool different areas."
• "The night was a bit quiet but I reckon it'd be a banging venue if it was rammed."

Management and Organization

Pros:

• "This is how a nightclub should be, decent bar prices, friendly staff (from door to bar), good sound system and great dancefloor sizes."
• "First class security and ID checks, all swift and very professional."
• "The venue looked amazing, just recently being redecorated and with a fully retractable roof so come rain or shine the party can continue."

Cons:

• "Booked a function here before COVID closed everything down. Paid a £400 deposit, and then they just stopped responding."
• "Poorly ran and understaffed (as admitted by one of the struggling bouncers)."
• "The event was a lie. Huge queue."
• "Paid £15 for a ticket and got nothing out of it."
• "The reason for the 2 stars is the serious lack of organisation by the management team at the bar."
• "We were left waiting for our food for almost 2 hours."
• "The event was also massively oversold making it nearly impossible to get a drink at the bar."
