heaven nightclub! dont do it

[uthred]

6 reasons not to go,too heaven nightclub :1. Watered down spirts at the great price of £4.30p
2. Red stripe at £ 4.30p
3. the most moody security you ever scene.
4. £1 to smoke, yes thats right you gotta go to (customers
service).. what a joke that is. to pay, too smoke!
5. Lame sound system
6. the place is full of shirt lifters.

all in, all. this lead to a major let down. killed a great nights music from kevin sauderson and jeff mills.
GIVE THIS PLACE A MISS !

6. the place is full of shirt lifters.

You mean to say there were gay people, at a world-famous gay nightclub? Seriously??

Some of the other points are fair enough though.

[uthred]

the night was promoted as a straight night....i was not, what it said on the tin.. thats all..

Nice to see homophobia is still alive in Britain

I agree about some of the points, when i went to STIR it was baking hot and some of the bar staff were incredibly rude when i asked for water, almost essentially refusing to give it to me.

But point 6? Wow...just wow...who cares?

I have to agree with those point apart from the "It's full of shirtlifters" comment. Cmon, do your homework buddy it's a fucking massive gay club!What are they going to do on a "straight" night?

"Sorry mate that shirts a bit tight you aint coming in"

When I went to a Lost night where Derrick May was playing I was deeply dissapointed with security, vibe and cost of drinks. Kind of put a dampner on what I thought would be an awesome night out and I haven't been back. The club just manages to feel a bit too impersonal but some people seem to like that. I felt Fabric get the "Big club, personal vibe" just right. But then I know people that would never ever go there and hate the place. Each to there own hey!?

Next time you want to go to a good techno night in London look out for Closer. I have heard is f**king banging from a reliable source.

I was last in Heaven on the night Kid 606 played BANGFACE back at the end of 2006. We couldn't get tickets in advance, queued and missed the 'one in one out' cut off point by about 6 places, hung about, obviously weren't going to get in so Heaven it was. Personally I found the place a bit soulless as it's had a refit since the last time I was there in the mid 80's, the Sound in the main area was not all that but the back bar had a South American minimal DJ and the sound in there was ok although drinks a bit pricy.

It's a pays yer money and takes yer choice I'm afraid. This is Central London, ie. very expensive and although listed as a straight night it IS the most well known gay bar in London!

Back in the mid 80's, following the 'RARE GROOVE' DJ's (Jasper the Vinyl Junkie, etc.) and ending up in Heaven during a period of high sexual/racial intolerance was like sailing into uncharted waters (Aaaarrr! The Ol' pirate hasn't quite left me....) - The sexual orientation equivalent of the Clash 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais'
