Palms On Oxford Nightclub

Great place to celebrate and dance. However, the customer service was quite disappointing. I bought a water bottle with me (not an alcohol) and for some reason, the bartender sntached it out from me, and said “Sorry, this is company rules. No water bottle allowed.” Now, for me, I am worried about being spiked, hence I bought my own drink (and allergic to alcohol and normal tap water as well). And I questioned the bartender and said “Well, I don’t want to get spiked. Do you have like a cover for your cups?” And he replied “No sorry. That’s not our problem, that’s your responsibility.” Like, how. Just how can they care about a person’s safety? Like, that’s a first thing you do when you run a business. Safety is first. I mean, prior, I did try to check out the site, but nothing has been stated or any policy about not bringing your own water bottle. Then, the same guy came up and touched my back twice without my consent, and really ignored boundaries here, just to tell me and my group some rule announcement (which I felt very, very uncomfortable). And, when I wasn’t even at the song selection (DJ crowd tablet), as I was grabbing a cup of water, he came to me and said “No more song selecting, it’s gonna be closed.” Then, he crosses to the other side where the tablet is, where my other friends were selecting, but didn’t tell them off. I wasn’t even near the damn tablet! As a result, I had to walk to the tablet side just to tell my friends, before the dude started walking back the other side.

For the policies, they honestly, need to put the no-bottle water rule in their page, and any other rules. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great, just needs better policy and customer service.

Great vibes at palms all night long. Drinks are good and the music is good. It’s a shame the place gets so crowded that you can’t actually move. So you often get shoved near the speaker which is deafening. Otherwise 10/10 😊🌈

the in house security is creepy to young women in the venue, the in house security is beyond the misogynistic. a male patron dropped in front of us and nothing was done. but one female patron was feeling herself and asked to leave, disgusting plams, do better, disgusting behaviour from the males your employees.

Oh my, new colours on the wall give so much freshness to Palms. As always amazing staff and great atmosphere.

I love Palms and have been going for years. You are always guaranteed a great night. The music is consistent which is one of the main reasons I keep returning. The excellent mix of 70s, 80s and 90s retro is a recipe for success. It is a LBGTQIA+ club and most patrons are there to dance and have a fun night. Ladies be warned, Palms takes their “No open toed shoes” policy very seriously, so wear flats or boots.

Reasons I can’t give a 5 star rating:

* The bar is cash only. And although there is an ATM inside it is ridiculous you can’t buy drinks with cards. Come on, it’s 2018!
* The sound system needs replacing. Or at least the treble turned down. Try not to dance near the speakers.
* The bathrooms get quite disgusting. A combination of patrons and a lack of cleaning throughout the night.

If you can get past the above, Palms is a great night out where you can dance until almost dawn. 😁❤️🎶🏳️‍🌈
