Music was brill,still no need for so much sax,
And not too keen on the girls that r full of their
Own importance they don't even see u as they
Smack u in the face trotting past!!

Rong 10/02/12

Had a wicked night here.
It was my first time at a Rong event as well as the Venus Nightclub.
The venue is intimate so you get to see the Dj's up close, rather than no where near them at a bigger event.
The crowd is always friendly, an absolute bargain for the Dj's that play there.

Phenomenal Night
Overall rating: 5

I had been introduced to House music two months ago by my friend and this was the first time I was going to a house show so I was both excited and nervous. Our night started out well, getting through security without a hitch and my mate exchanging courtesies with the owner of Venus. We got there around 11pm so the music being played was old house beats.

After about 60-75 minutes of the resident DJ, D.O.D. came on. This being my first show, I wasnt feeling all of what he was playing but he definitely started pumping me up for Gina Star with some of the music he was mixing.

Then Gina Star came on. I cannot say more positive things about this DJ. Her mixes were on point, she had sick drops, and she knew how to get the crowd going. The best part about it was that you could tell she loved what she was doing. Her passion was contagious and only added to how awesome her set was. Before coming, my mate and I were skeptical if she was going to be any good. She has proven us wrong and has two new fans.

This was a great night for someone who has never gone to a house show before. Its won over a fan I me. Thanks Venus for an unforgettable night.

Quality night.
Overall rating: 4.5

Quality night from the Rong lads once again. Superb trance night just how it should be. You know it's doing well when Gareth Emery rocks up for a few drinks. Keep it going!

Rong 27th April
Overall rating: 4.5

What a great party. Alex MORPH set the room on fire ready for Andy Moor to fill the room with his awesome beats, leaving the crowd to stamp the smarties away until 5am. Great night, great venue

Good night. Classic!
Overall rating: 5

Loved it,the music was spot on,The only thing
That spoilt it for me was the sax player
Overshadowed the music a bit,I thought he would only
Do a few hours. He was very good,I felt like I was
On BAKER ST tho! Definitely go again.

Absolute Joke!!!
Overall rating: 1

We didn't get in either, we had bought our tickets already, they were turning people away for all different pathetic reasons. My boyfriend got refused entry as the bouncer asked him were he was from, he replied Bolton, so they said sorry members only tonight. This was after queueing for 40 minutes. We also wasted 50 quid on taxi's. They clearly sold too many tickets and the bouncers were arrogant idiots.

venus-17th march
Overall rating: 2

Ive not been to venus since it was on deansgate and i cant say how dissapointed i wa.the old venus had the most friendly atmosphere and best tunes,the croud had its regulars and it felt like everyone was on the same wavelength.the new venus had to many young kids which would explain why it explain the school grouping system that seemed to be going on and how dare u looks if u even looked at someone in passing.the venue didnt have the old venus feel and the music was a massive let down to.maybe my expectations were set at the old venus standards but i was severely dissapointed...RIP venus-may ur memory live forever!!!!

Rong 10/02/2012
Overall rating: 4.5

Awesome night, great to see an underground trance night flourishing like this. Love the venue very intimate and a great crowd too. Constructive feedback would be to improve the soundsystem so that the sound is consistent around the club, then you would have a faultless venue which would compete with Soundcontrol across the other side of town.

Kudos to Rong and Venus though, great partnership!

REFUSED ENTRY.

I had paid for 5 advanced tickets but was refused entry on the door because I was neither a member or regular. On purchasing the tickets through this website there was not one mention of having being a member necessary. JOKE.

Wristband

We went to two bars with this wristband and none of them were good. There was no one there except our group of people. This was the biggest ripoff ever.
