Review of Dimitri From Paris in the Haunted House of Disco

Decent music was ruined by the poor organisation, hour long queues and a girl being assaulted by some guy.

Poor venue with very poor crowd control. Fights braking out everywhere

Review of Dimitri From Paris in the Haunted House of Disco

Absolute shambles. Having to queue for an hour in urinated smelly alley. Then once in having to queue for the bar. Total unorganised chaos. Dimitri was so so couldn't belive he dropped ABBA. What's that all about???
Gav Millers set was outstanding.
Don't think I will go back to this venue

Review of Dimitri From Paris in the Haunted House of Disco

Dimitri delivered an awesome faultless set. However the venue que to get in was over the top for a ticket only event also it was oversold resulting in over capacity, had there been a fire or incident it would have bern horrific, toilets were under size big question at the bar to, poorly managed resulting in many ticket holders not being given entry....

What a bloody shambles!! How do we go about getting a refund? Should never have bothered buying tickets in the first place. Never again!!

Review of Tonight: Journey to the Twilight Zone - Halloween 2015

The event was not as marketed. They did not allow people to dance on the first floor and since there weren't many they put them all on the terrace. Overpriced and disappointing, we just ended up going to the liquid rooms. Such a waste of money I think a compensation would be more than appropriate.

There was no one there

Totally dismal. There were about 6 people other than us in the entire club. We tried our hardest to stay for a bit, but it looked like everyone else had had the right idea and buggered off the second they arrived. Having paid £11.75 for the whole this was pretty disappointing. On top of this the staff were just standing around wondering what they should do with themselves. What should've happened is that the event organisers should've seen the problem and just slashed entry prices to nothing, just in a bid to get people in. Moronic organisation.

Review of The Warehouse - Saturday 15 August

False advertising - is the best way to describe this badly organised event! The organisers claimed it to be a warehouse venue that "has never been used before and will never be used again". This was a complete lie as it was just another functioning space used as a nightclub off the Liquid Rooms and Annex (already established nightclubs) so nothing new or groundbreaking there. (Oh and guess what it's being used again this coming Sunday 31st as a big dance event) LIES LIES LIES
Part of the nights allure lay in the fact that the woeful organizers would be releasing the clubs address just 24 hours beforehand, again they failed to do even this! In fact they failed to let any ticket holders know at all and no details were emailed out to customers! Therefore only a handful of people managed to find the dump through a series of frustrating online crumbs and hearsay on Twitter and Facebook. Lucky for us we did not follow the inaccurate map they had posted on Skiddle.com website that stated the secret venue was somewhere down on the shore in Leith miles away, God only knows how may poor revelers ended up there that night.
The next slap in the face came when we entered the 'club' as we were told that it was only £5 on the door after we were gouged over £11 for a ticket online!
The final straw came when we had to pay extortionate prices for drinks especially water at the venue. We just gathered our things at this stage and left feeling like we had been ripped off.
Now let's see if anyone contacts us about a refund, or maybe I should just contact the Liquid Rooms directly as they own this not so special not so secret venue.

Healthy...

Review of The Warehouse - Saturday 15 August

Terribly organised and was not told where the location was! Had to try and figure it out purely by word of mouth. As a result of this it was very quiet and not the packed, busy event it should have been. Not a warehouse and also not a 'never been used, never will be used again' venue. This venue has been used for a multitude of events by different organisers and is basically just behind liquid rooms.

Review of The Warehouse - Saturday 15 August

Well what is there to say? A secret warehouse rave in a location that's never been used and never to be used again?! Well the secret remained a secret even after the event had started. I even text the number on this website asking for details only to be ignored and blocked! This left us on a wild goose chase round Edinburgh! Then we found out that the event was actually at the rear of espionage! Never used before? Really?

On arrival we were told that it was 2 for £10 entry! So why were we paying £10 per person through the website?!
None the less we continued on our mysterious journey only to find out we were one of the first groups to arrive!

Thankfully, our disappointment didn't end there, it was delightful to find out it was a secret because it was only for us and the 17 other people who turned up to listen to the tin rattling racket that was emanating round the poorly setup 'never before used space'.

We spoke to all of those who attended with the exception of one guy who I think was a tourist looking for the secret location of the castle, no doubt organised by the same people!

Everyone said exactly the same thing, poorly organised and pathetic excuse to rip people off and then rob them blind by charging ridiculous prices at the bar! How it can be seen as reasonable to charge £9 for two bottles of water and a bud is beyond me.

I give the staff in attendance their due, having one customer each, they all appeared to stay awake for the duration of our stay. Sadly that wasn't that long. After dancing to a low quality version of Sophie Ellis Buxton, (which everyone raved to during the early 00s) we took our chance to escape before an upbeat heavy based version of Aquas barbie girl was thrown into the mix.

11 people in our party and 17 other really annoyed customers! That's nearly 11% of your potential capacity actually turned up with a 100% failure in customer satusfaction. However it does mean you managed to rob 89% of those who paid by failing to give them the venue location. We will be seeking a refund and we advised everyone else to do exactly the same. Thankfully with one of our party working for trading standards, the case of false advertising, miscommunication and misrepresentation should be resolved quit quickly. Anyone needing help with the process, feel free to leave a review and details of how to get in touch with you and we'll help with pleasure!

Review of The Warehouse - Saturday 8 August

The event was not what the same they were selling. Few people and just one room.
