Lots of drink choice at a reasonable price. Great music. We were served by Morgan who was so friendly, welcoming and happy to help. Will be back. Thank you Morgan :) they also offer phone charging facilities at a low cost.
Went here for a nightcap after an amazing night in freight island and wanted to take my better half in as this was known back in the day as spirit. Severely disappointed as it was quiet even at almost midnight. One point to make is if you go up to the smoking balcony watch the step! Nearly broke my ankle as the step was not clearly marked and it just seems you’re walking onto black flooring. The most disappointing and embarrassing is that the young ones seem to like taking photos in the same sex toilets upstairs. I’m not opposed to this set up as this is the norm in canal street, but the guy in the cubicle next to me was taking photos up high above the cubicles of his friends and my fiancé saw this and took great offence! As so he should as this is inappropriate! No one should be allowed to do this and none of the staff interacted. It was only when my partner intervened that security was called and he was told to leave! He was protecting a woman in a cubicle in a vulnerable position when others were apparently having fun. This is not on and should not be tolerated and management should take responsibility of what goes on in the premises. Avoid the venue at all costs!
Crazy cheap drink prices. Absolutely no atmosphere and the staff all seem preoccupied and disinterested but the music’s loud, there’s a great smoking area and the drinks are ridiculously cheap. Gets uncomfortably hot when busy though, which isn’t that often anymore.
Amazing atmosphere once you get past security. The security leaves a lot to be desired but if you can get past that, or they let you through, you will have a great time. Clean. Toilets where you can actually wash and dry your hands. All staff were great except security.
after been given a free shot card outside the club me and my friend went to use them at the bar, she got served straight away and purchased a soft drink and was given the shot with ease! however when I asked for the same drink and handed the card I was refused and was told it had to be an alcoholic drink and even after saying my friend got served a soft drink! If this is the case then it needs to be specified on the card if it has to be alcoholic because to me ‘purchase of a drink’ means any type of drink, soft or alcoholic.
Absolutely loved my visit here. Was warmly welcomed by a lovely worker called Jake! Made me and my friends feel really comfortable and was able to give some great advice on their drinks offers, what’s going on, and even recommendations for places to go after! A really strong worker who truly went above and beyond. Will be returning and hope to meet Jake again!!
it’s a shame i have to say this, but one of the bouncers on saturday night was beyond rude to me and a friend. we went outside to speak to said bouncer and as i walked out i took the last sip of my drink (i had never been to G-A-Y before so didn’t know we weren’t allowed them outside), so she snatched the cup out of my hand and threw it on the ground and told me ‘no drinks outside’ in a very blunt tone. then as my friend was trying to speak to her about the issue we wanted to talk to her about, she looked at me and my other friend and asked what we were doing outside we explained that we were also there to talk to her, to which she replied ‘yea no you’re not, only one person out at a time’ and proceeded to shoo us inside. was not very happy with the way i was treated at all
When you're refused entry because of your age! We was a group of three and the bouncer was rude and refused us entry saying we was too old. Obviously it was a red rag to a bull but he thought it was funny and then decided to record us on his phone! Proper neanderthal. Found this discriminatory and will take it further.
Bar tender short changed me be £5.50 - I want to say thank fully I noticed. But then he said I would have to speak with a manager - he agreed with the manager that he had over charged me but they couldn’t open the till to refund (funny how they can open it when I was paying) and the manager just said “ you will have to dispute it online” i asked his name and he refused - if someone from the clubs sees this he was working on the 5/11/22 approx 1am glasses - he needs training on the tills and basically they stole £5.50 from me. No it’s not a lot but that is not the point. If they do it to me how many others are they doing it too without them even noticing??? YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. And no I will not be going again. New staff and new bouncer would be a good start at that place.
Wish I could give 0 stars. I’ve been coming to G.A.Y for years but tonight made me never want to give them my money again. Me and my friends got the the club and was about to show the bouncers our ID’s, they asked us where we’d been that night, thinking they were being friendly and making conversation we replied “Oh yes we’ve been to see Rina Sawayama!” they turned round and refused us entry and said that we’d ‘drank too much’ and weren’t allowed in. We all had one drink each at the concert and went back to our hotel room and got food afterwards before we headed to Canal Street, so were completely sober by this point. I’d have completely understood if we all staggered up to the club being loud and obnoxious butnone of us did anything wrong, we were all pretty calm and pleasant when we arrived. This is not the first time I’ve had a bad experience with the bouncers at this club, I feel as though they pick and choose who they let in to the club based on how they look and if they look ‘gay’ enough or not. This is disgusting behaviour for a place that is supposed to be accepting for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. Who are you to assume whether someone looks ‘queer’ enough to enter your club?! Well you will never get a penny of my money ever again and you will be losing out because I came here very often. Needs a total revamp and new bouncers!! Horrible place.
