Private Eyes Night Club in Aberdeen

Reviews

   I have raised my concerns with the club directly by email, but since they have not bothered to respond I’m going public. During three visits to this club in Aberdeen over the past year, a relative of mine has somehow managed to spend over £12,000. On one occasion he was charged over £6,000 (including six separate transactions of exactly £864). My relative is a vulnerable adult with learning difficulties. He has limited capacity to give informed consent to anything and is of extremely modest means (£12,000 amounts to around 75% of his annual wages). His impaired understanding and inability to protect his own interests should be apparent to anyone within a few minutes of meeting him. This kind of spending is completely out of character. He tells me he attended the club alone and had only soft drinks. I understand what goes on in these clubs, but I’m incredulous that he could legitimately be charged over £12k for, to quote the club owner, ‘harmless entertainment’ (Press & Journal, 04/09/2025). I contacted the club seeking an explanation of how he could possibly have spent so much money. I have not received a reply. If these charges are genuine and justified, then let’s hear it - the club has my contact details. In the absence of any explanation, people can draw their own conclusions. In my opinion, at best it demonstrates blatant disregard for the welfare of vulnerable adults at the club, and at worst the deliberate, callous, exploitation of those unable to understand fully what they are doing and who lack the power to resist or protest. I’ve raised this matter with the police and also Aberdeen City Council as the relevant licensing authority.

   Dreadful place. I walk in and even before I'd got a drink two women came up and started aggressively pushing for a private dance. I explained that I'd just arrived and just wanted to settle in and look around first, however they wouldn't leave. They then accused me of ray-cism, saying I didn't want a dance from them as they were black (ummm nope, I just hate hard selling.... I'd have probably gone for a dance if they'd been a bit more subtle about it). They eventually walked off in a huff, when immediately another woman came up and did the same thing. So I just quickly drank up and left. Not just that, the place was dead (on a Friday night), with no girls dancing. Only good thing was the cheap entry (£6). Avoid.

   Absolute rip off, be aware of this place. The girls emptied my pockets like beggars, then tricked me in to paying three times the amount agreed. Very clear con artists! Take my advice and STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!

   Pushy gang of Romanian girls that are neither best looking, honest or anyhow genuine They will tell you nonsense about blowing you etc but they'll only blow your money. No pole dancing whatsoever, I've been to clubs in other countries and this is just cheap, cheap, cheap. Avoid like a plague

   Recommended here from a local friend, the taxi driver asked me which one, apparently there are 2 clubs with the same name, so maybe try the other next time. Turns out I didn't need a taxi, was literally 5 minutes way. I read the reviews, once inside and didn't seem like the same place. I chatted a few girls, told a few not my type sorry. A few still chatted a little, before fluttering away to next man/woman. The dances I did have, the girls wasn't especially pushy, sadly the girl I had my eye on was hammered all night so maybe have to go back to get that dance. Always the way!! #Edit returned a month later, and had a blast. Sadly the girl I saw last time wasn't working. The spiral staircase is awesome but not good after a few juices.

   Just minutes away from the hotels, and right in the centre of the action. Food, banks and everything near by. Door guys was cool, venue seems clean and loads of girls flitting around inside, some more chatty than others but that's standard. Could easily spend a small fortune in here.

   Where to begin. I hope you've read this review before entering and not after. If after then I share your pain. We took a colleague there for his 18th birthday. Institute the club next door wasn't allowing entry at 1:30AM so we foolishly went into Private eyes next door. We were greeted by a number of girls of varying quality (I could see all of their tragic back stories in an instant). One of them said it was 40 pound so we all chipped in and off the poor lad went into his booth. He came down the stairs crying 20 minutes later as they then ganged up on him and took him for another 75 pound. Then set the poor kid up on a direct debit. These people are absolute scumbags. A literal cliche of what you'd expect a seedy strip club to be. They know it's your first time. They damn well know they're gonna extort you so you won't come back. They are also relying on you not having the balls to stand up to them. Also getting the middle finger given to me multiple times by strippers because we were only in there for a friends birthday. LOVELY CUSTOMER SERVICE!
