Venue Layout and Accessibility

Pros:

• "Easy to navigate with large open staircase."
• "The venue central London has been waiting for, 12+ years on the hunt for the perfect venue and it's finally HERE."
• "Very modern venue. Queue was wrapped around the building (~30mins) but once inside it's very spacious with multiple bars, cloakrooms and toilets. Great atmosphere!"
• "Great venue with big dancefloor area and mezzanine / first floor space."
• "Venue incredible. Very clear signposting, good instructions as to what is where."
• "The venue is one big room with an internal overlooked balcony with enough bars you never feel like your more than 3 deep in a queue even during peak hours."
• "Big bright screens, simplistic style bar, clear directions everywhere."

Cons:

• "Literally not one chair/ seating area in the whole venue."
• "The floor is not slanted so I couldn’t see the stage."
• "No real 'chill out area' which is odd for a club."
• "Lots of stairs so not remotely accessible."
• "For a purpose built venue, the awful waits for coat check and bar are pretty much unforgivable."
• "The screens and venue looks very modern but can lead to a venue that is too bright for a club depending on the set up."
• "The bars however neat and tidy were both badly managed and understaffed."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "The staff are amazing. They did everything to the book and made sure my needs were accomodated."
• "Staff were extremely friendly and helpful."
• "Fab venue well worth visiting! Security and bar staff alike were professional whist keeping a courteous chilled vibe."

Cons:

• "The negative is the fact that no one working there has actually any clue about who is playing and at what time which I found quite bad."
• "The bars staff are great but the queues are long."
• "Very rude and arrogant staff."
• "The staff don’t seem to know how the systems work and the layout isn’t well thought through."
• "The most rudest staff I have ever come across at a music venue."
• "Security and staff need to learn how to take a joke."
• "went to a show on halloween and security were awful. saw i had a hijab on in my ID photo and gave me a nasty look, refused to hand water out during the show, treated my friends horribly in regards to accessibility and were very condescending and ableist."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Drinks were shockingly expensive but it's central London so that's expected."
• "The prices are not great but not outrageous either."
• "I paid £9 for a can of wine, it was.. ok, but I stuck to the cheapest beer they had after that."
• "Incredible venue in central London. Amazingly clean facilities and great bar (though on the expensive side as can be expected)."

Cons:

• "Drinks are massively overpriced, a weak selzter is £9 (-⭐)."
• "Drinks are expensive though (£14 for double and mixer)."
• "Drinks are pricey but then again you are in central London!"
• "Pretty limited drink options - standard London club prices."
• "The sounds is way too loud, like even with ear plugs I’m getting hearing damage ;("

Sound and Music Experience

Pros:

• "Night I went featured Sinai sound system, one of most impressive systems I have ever heard."
• "Amazing for a rave. Incredible sound system and lighting, and also brilliantly clean."
• "One of the best sound systems I've heard in a club, brilliant for EDM!"
• "Sound, lights, stage, production all top class."
• "The sound system is absolutely just perfect, loud and clear sound, and at the same time you can hear each other without the need to shout."

Cons:

• "The floor is not slanted so I couldn’t see the stage."
• "Sound not great."
• "The volume was so high that we had to leave halfway through the set."
• "The music was extremely loud and for more than 2 days I can’t recover from pain in my ears!"

• "Sound was variable to awful (too loud/not well balanced/speaker vibration)."
• "However, the sound quality is really poor & amplifies the sound of crowd members talking. They need to sort this."
