The Manchester Lounge Manchester reviews by real event-goers

Review of Manchester Desi Saturday Night

Dear Manager,

I want to bring to your attention a disappointing experience my friend and I encountered at your venue recently. Despite being well-dressed, My friend was denied entry due to a jogger policy that was not communicated beforehand. We couldn't attend the party because of this reason

Upon requesting a refund, the manager advised that it could be processed through Skiddle. Unfortunately, the Skiddle website did not allow me to proceed with the refund, resulting in financial loss without availing the service.

I kindly request a prompt resolution to this matter and recommend updating your website with clear dress code information to prevent future incidents.

As a loyal customer, I had initially considered leaving a Trustpilot review. However, I thought it appropriate to inform the venue first in hopes of a satisfactory resolution.

Ticket Confirmation Number: 240302-162411-8012
Event Date and Time: Mar 2, 10:00 PM-Mar 3, 3:00 AM

I appreciate your immediate attention to this issue.

Sincerely,
Doju C Listin

Review of The Annual 12 hour New Year's Eve Great Giveaway Extravaganza

Absolutely dissapointed. Was so looking forward too this event. From the start we were told to leave coats in cloakroom was not given option had to pay a pound each per coat even though we shared a hanger with one ticket. First I must stress the people attending event like me, the host, music and comedians were brilliant. But they got suddenly rushed as apparently there was another event on so had to stop our event pronto. The mgr was putting chairs away as people just went to the toilets. The poor dj got stopped for the other too set up. We were then made too feel unwelcome as if shouldn't be there. Friends were queuing up not allowed entry told to come back at 3am I could go on and all this before 12am. Manchester lounge should be distgustlingly ashamed. 0stars but had to give one to leave review.

(PLEASE Note- I only put 1 star so it would let me leave this review! The event lasted 25 minutes. And Iust stress that the host and comedians did the best with the situation that unfolded.
The owner of the venue was extremely rude and asked customers to leave the venue as he had double booked the venue and the other guests had started to arrive during the show. He was literally taking the seats up form underneath us.
This ruined NYE 2023 as we had to leave just before midnight!
A refund is the bare minimum that should be considered!

Review of Desi Saturday Night: Christmas Special

Very bad music can't feel the beats even.

Review of The Brownsuga Comedy Reggae Brunch

Wish I didn't go. Food was terrible (2 dry pieces of jerk chicken with bland rice, sloppy coleslaw and no gravy). I couldn't even eat it and I was so hungry. Rum punch 'ran out'. Venue wasnt even half full. "Comedy show" was actually a joke. The only thing I laughed at was how terrible the set was. The music was actually decent, RnB and dancehall music. My friends were hungry, thirsty and it was just embarrassing , so the vibes weren't even there despite the good music.
I want a refund at this point. You're better off just going to Banyan.

Great event some names advertised not there. Venue should open all areas to prevent overcrowding. All in all good event.

Review of The Brownsuga Brunch hosted by Richard Blackwood

I’ve been to other brunches around the country and travelled 2 hours for this and was very disappointed. The area wasn’t as big as I thought I paid for VIP but it wasn’t really VIP levels. The Caribbean food was cold jerk chicken and chips from the local pizza place. In Birmingham I had a lovely 3 course meal and there were tables to sit at. Here there wasn’t even cutlery or napkins!

Review of The Brownsuga Brunch hosted by Richard Blackwood

This event was falsely advertised. The food was not “approved authentic Caribbean cuisine”. It was evident from the pizza boxes they went to the take away next door. We payed for VIP which promised a personalised service. Again did not get this. I would like a refund for this event

The Ladies and myself had a great afternoon, thank you 😊

Review of Desi Saturday Night - September/ Fresher's special

Been to a few desi nights and places in MCR and this one was really disappointing. Rubbish music, creepy old men and security guards were casually watched as men tried to touch women in appropriately. Really dirty toilets from the moment the night started and not classy or fun at all.
The music was a total let down that we ended up going to another place in the end which was far nicer and free to get in.

No AC, smells like sweat, dj was trash, and barely any ppl there

Review of Desi Saturday Night

The crowd was pathetic. Place is too small and felt suffocating with too many people. Horrible people and they have no civic sense. Group of boys were using rough lanugauge and slangs and were touching girls. It should be a place for everyone to feel safe and enjoy. It didn't feel like that at all. Would not recommend it for any girls who want to have a good and stressfree night.

Review of Desi Saturday Night

Worst DJ and music collection ever. Very much dominated by single boys, hitting other people, girls uncomfortable. Not recommended at all for future events

Review of Desi Saturday Night

I'm a bollywood fan but found more bhangra and Rnb played compared to bollywood music.

Review of The Comedy Lounge
