LA Lounge

This place was over-hyped! A gargantuan let-down and disappointment. They had every seat and table fake ‘reserved’ with signs on the tables. The minuscule bar area has no stools or seats! Guests have to congregate in the narrow passage between bar and dance floor if they have no reservations. Disheartening. I waited till 0300 am to see if any of the ‘reserved’ seats would be filled. No way. No-one showed up. I was charged £10 ticket, and paid £10 for a lousy over-priced drink. The girls were beautiful, sexy and hot, though. No problem there. But the whole seating setup thoroughly disgusted me. Lounge advertises ‘floors of music’, but just one part of 1 floor was open for business as described. Money hungry owners have ruined the club experience for young and old alike! The music was good, but nary a one, danced. Probably because of the offensive lack of seating and comfort. Lounge? Don’t make me laugh. Your name insults LA, USA!

I don’t even want to review this club because it’s been a few weeks since my visit, but let me just get it off my chest. The club is attended mostly by Gen Zs, but of course, there are other age groups too. I personally will vibe with any age group, so that’s not even an issue for me.

The first time I visited, I was turned back because I didn’t have ID on me. So, second time, lucky. But trying to get into MI6 building restricted area is easier as a civilian than trying to get into LA Lounge. The process was a bit too much, but I get that it’s for our safety. Still, it was a turn-off.

Upon getting in, I discovered everything was too pricey and maybe overpriced is the word. The short lady who is maybe the manager had a sour attitude. It is very irritating when these people act like that to their customers.

But the part that irked me the most was that the DJ was playing Gen Z music till quarter past 1am. I came out for some afrobeats, and I was disappointed. Two of the security guard tried to offer some assurance that they play afrobeats at LA Lounge, but I am at LA Lounge now 😃. When the DJ eventually played afrobeats, it was songs from 435 BC 🤦🏾‍♀️.

That was the point I left to go to another club, and that was when I knew I would never return.

Advertised as two floors, but on Fridays they only have one floor open. The floor has no dance floor. Only 10 or so seating booths with a pathway to those booths, and they still have the absolute cheek to take £20 for entry. I say it again, NO DANCE FLOOR IN THE NIGHT CLUB ON FRIDAYS. Absolute scam. A waste of £20 in this cost of living crisis.
Also, advertised it was afrobeats night, but all that was playing until 2am was rap and dance hall.
They also won’t let you enter with your jacket on. You need to pay to put the jacket in on entry. Any way to earn a little money I guess.

Absolute nightmare! Security at the door bark at people. No behaviour, just rude and they expect respect when they can’t show respect back. No wonder why fights happen there. Disgusting behaviour, not from all staff but certain individuals who should really be zoo keepers! We are human and I think the owner or whoever is in charge should train their security or get rid off the ones that want to work at the zoo! Will not be coming back. Waste of money!

The club atmosphere was Amazing and I really had a nice time…
Well mannered and respectful security personnel, definitely when I visit UK am coming there again.
