Catacombs Nightclub

Should be 0 stars. They discriminate against disabled people, telling wheelchair users that they must message on Facebook messenger to inform that they want to go to the club at least 2 hours before- even when you message they don’t let you in. Bouncers are horrible and rude. It’s 2023- wheelchair users go clubbing too!

Absolute nightmare. Venue can maybe hold 225, people. Went on a Friday night to see Sachi, and supposedly they let in 400, although I would estimate closer to 500. Crowd crush was horrible on the main floor, bathroom situation was terrible (never seen a worse bathroom/ bathroom line in a club in my entire life). Management for some reason decided to move the dj stand off the stage and down to the dance floor- which was already small- and made the crowd crush immensely worse. Upstairs VIP area was basically empty- could have been used for overflow but selfish owners will be selfish owners I guess. I can’t stress this enough- Catacombs is not just a bad club. It’s a DANGEROUS club. Tons of safety and regulatory violations for occupancy. Should be massively remodeled at best and permanently closed at worst. I’m lucky to be big and tall but the girls I was with are not- they were constantly being pushed, crushed, and groped. Shame on the Catacombs.

Really overcrowded and people kept pushing me so i nearly fell over. Definitely way over regulation to the point where i had to hold my hands in front of my ribs so i could breathe. Music was so loud i could physically feel my cochlear hairs snapping and i still have tinnitus. The shoving got so bad i nearly got punched in the face by a drunk guy trying to stary a fight. The only reason this is two stars is because the music is actually okay.
