Christmas At The London Reign Showclub, Main Club

We’ve been working with a promoter for a while who sorted out a table for us, met us at the entrance, and let us pick our table inside. Toward the end of the night (about 1.5 hours before closing, so still plenty of time left), they reminded us we still had credit left - something we’d completely forgotten about and they could have easily let us spend more. Only slight complaint - the music was less hip-hop and more house/commercial than usual.

I really wanted to bogie the night away and this place was recommended by our hotel but firstly there is no dancefloor to speak of - extremely cramped and secondly a succession of girls wearing very l ittle dancing on the small stage. My wife and I left after 15 minutes despite the £50 entry fee as she wasn't a happy bunny in that environment. The scanty clad thing was totally unnecessary.... Partly that and the fact that everyone there was 40 years younger than us, it wasn't going to be our night. What I could not understand was the extremely heavy security. It is only when I read the reviews I realise that we were lucky to get out when we did, and why they had so many security guys around.......

I had a very disappointing experience at this club, thanks to the rude lady at the entrance. Despite us being properly dressed in heels, she dismissively told us, "No, not today," in a very rude and ironic tone. The bouncers tried to help, but she was insistent on turning us away for no clear reason. While I understand the club might have been full or perhaps we weren't to her taste, there is no excuse for such poor manners and lack of respect. Woman to woman, her attitude could have been more respectful! I would recommend calling ahead to check on the mood of the front lady before you head out, as it could save you time and energy. It’s a shame that such a negative encounter can give the place a bad reputation.
