- A great night out - I bought tickets online a few nights previous. The tickets have a bar code on them so you just print them out and you're bish-bash ready to go. The pre-bought tickets queue was very quick, we didn't even wait 5 minutes. There was a fight outside but the bouncers - who were fairly friendly to us - unusual nowadays, sorted it out pretty quick. Cloak room queue was short and the adjacent smoking area was big, not covered and therefore wet (I won't blame Fabric for England's shoddy weather) , but lots of room to roam and smoke for your life* It was True Playaz night (DnB, Dubstep et al) and the music in all three rooms was a.w.e.s.o.m.e, and the sound system banging to boot. The bars never got too busy and the toilet queues were short? Who knew a club could be organised so darned well. There were cups of free water dotted about the bar areas too. Smart thinking! Other clubs need to be taking a page out of Fabric's book for on the night set-up and organisation. read more

The fabric is one of the craziest place I ever been !!! This place is soo huge and the music is really good ! (I had the chance to be there on miss kittin's set !) Is the place to be if you love drum&bass and electro music read more

As all the reviews say, this is certainly a great venue. Drinks are pricey but that's not important because you go for the music. And the sound system is off the hook. My favourite bit of the decor - definitely the old trucker headlamp style lights on the walls. Epically effective. I would certainly recommend going if you love music and hate wankers. read more

What can you not big up about Fabric, the club is huge, hosting various different rooms pumping out music to all tastes Fabric is one of the biggest and best clubs in London. The night goes on to the early hours with the DJ's controlling the crowd with the best of dance music London has to offer. There are chill out spots and a room where you can don fancy dress gear and parade the club in your alter ego,but i am afraid you do have to give the clothes back! Always sure to be a good night and have you dancing till the early hour's, make sure your stamina is up for this night. read more

Fabric is perhaps the best nightclub in London without a doubt. Containing one of the finest soundsystems in Europe the club is housed in an old meat market warehouse in Farringdon. Lineups are always reliable and the best talent and cutting edge music is always on showcase. Friday nights are Drum and Bass, Saturday nights play Techno, and Sundays are reserved for the gay community. 3 rooms of fine music, the bar staff are friendly, queues are kept to a minumum and their record label releases great compilations. A must visit if you're into partying until 10am! read more

Fabric is one of the most spacious and popular nightclubs in London and is regarded as one of the best dance music venues in the world. It specialises in more progressive forms of dance music and is an antithesis of the Leicester square style clubs. It is only open on weekends; Friday's boasting Drum n Bass and Saturdays House music and its variants. I have always had a great time whenever I've been but be warned, this is a dance venue - not really a place to pull or sit down. There are 2 main rooms and a third smaller room so there's loads of space. The clubs always packed as it really attracts the best Djs and the dance atmosphere is always pleasant going right through the night usually stopping at 5 or 6 am - perfect for the tube home! Bad things are the sheer volume of the music, professional ear protection is best, and sometimes the drum n bass nights can get a bit testosterone filled. If you like dancing than this is a must. One final thought is that the club launched its own record label and now sells cds of many of the nights, equally brilliant if you were there or not. read more

Fabric - Dance Clubs Near Me - London, XGL

Is Fabric really the best club in London? Ok.... the DJs are decent but i wouldn't call it a "super club". Drinks are waaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive and the queues are pretty massive on most big nights. Don't get me wrong, i've had a bunch of good nights here, I just feel like there are better clubs in London (and around the UK) where you can have a brilliant time without the hassle and the cost. If you pre-book, have lots of dosh and you are into your house music. This is the place for you. read more

When people talk about Fabric they are talking about one of the best clubs around. Expect some on the best DJ's in this old power station with 3 rooms as it is respected by fans and industry types alike. The crowds are always mixed and on the whole the staff are friendly too. This place can get very busy especially as it is open until the early morning. I have a membership which lets me queue jump the huge lines that appear from nowhere sometimes.you have been warned! Oh and while I remember, Wear something that breathes or it'll definitely get very hot in there for you! Drinks are priced at London prices and the prices can vary from bar to bar. The toilets are unisex and there is a outside smokers patch too. The Drum and Bass nights are great and the True players nights are the pick for me. read more

If you want to go the most visited club in London packed with tourists and out of towners who look like they've swallowed the boxset of Channel 4 show 'Skins' along with more sleazy old men than you'll find in any other techno club in London, then this is the place for you. Not even the awesome line-ups they attract can compensate for over-crowding, expensive admission and insanely long queues even when you've bought an advance ticket. And to top it off - ludicrously expensive drinks. Avoid at all costs. read more

On paper, Fabric should be an amazing club. It has the best music policy of any club in London (on a par with The End). It continually pushes the musical boundaries and its CD series (which I subscribe to) are the best in the history of dance music. However, I very rarely visit the club, despite being a member. The reason being, it's just too big - literally and metaphorically. The place is huge - like a massive underground cavern. Despite this, it gets incredibly crowded. So much so, that often you cannot walk from one room to the other, let alone have a dance. Plus, because it is so big and famous, it attracts a lot of people I would describe as non-clubbers. For example, large groups of tanked up males. Also, the crowd is super young. I one shared a taxi home with a young girl and complained to her about this. She agreed and remarked how this seemed to be a trend at the club. When I asked why she was going home before closing, she replied: Well, I didn't do my homework, so now I'm grounded!! Large groups of young drunken males often do not know how to behave in a club, let alone how to dance. Despite the fantastic lineups, for this reason I tend to avoid Fabric. read more

live bands line-ups, 3floors, the place is HUUUUGGGEEEE!!! Music is toootally awesome! you're gonna shake your ass off here wether you like it or not. better come earlier to prevent the km-long queue.. its the bomb!!!! i really got the best time of my life here!

Housed in an old power station, 'Fabric' is a truly unique venue and in my opinion one of the best clubs in London. It's also one of the most popular so be sure to get there early or pre-book tickets to avoid two hour ques. The last friday of every month is when the place really comes alive with stella DJs and international live acts. It has three rooms each with fantastic sound systems and one with a great laser show. If you can get past the ques then this is fantastic venue. Just be sure to bring enough money as the truly extortionate prices may shock you. read more

Love this Club. Amazing venue, amazing sound system. One of if not London's best. Have queued a minimum of about 30 minutes every time i have been but worth the wait. Drink are normal london prices. Great place to rave it up with friend and always guaranteed a good night out read more

Fabric is about as good as it gets. The club books good DJs, has a strong sound system, and multiple rooms. The coolest part, though, has to be the layout. You're dancing the night away several floors underground. It doesn't get much cooler than that! The lights are amazing as well. The line doesn't take longer than 10 or 15 minutes, chump change compared to many clubs. I can't understand people complaining about this; many places might make you wait over 45 minutes. Not at Fabric. The crowd is aggressive but fine. That's a product of the music being played. Also, with multiple rooms, if you feel the vibe is hostile, move away from the main stage. The side rooms are rarely crowded. Bouncers are dicks everywhere, not just at Fabric. The bar is expensive - I'd recommend pregaming. Enjoy the amazing music and atmosphere at Fabric! read more

This is my first yelp review, so the fact that I've taken the time out of my day to write this is tea itself. Firstly, they did not accept the two forms of student ID I had with me, so I had to pay a 25 pond cover charge... and to add to that the women was especially rude when I asked why these forms weren't sufficient enough. Secondly, they advertised that all the rooms would be open on this night, and once we walked into the club we were unpleasantly met with only one room. Next, though security was thorough, it was slightly over the top. I feel like they'd be more likely to catch you with something you shouldn't have than American TSA. Theres nothing more appealing than being felt up by two security guards at midnight. Things we also love are paying for overpriced, shitty drinks. Unless you're planning on showing up black out or have a fat wallet, plan on being sober at this club. If you like music that has no words, and beats that you can't dance too then I guess this is the place for you. Unless you're planning on showing up to this place on molly or LSD, plan on having a bad time. If you like to spend lots of money to be bored as hell, then be sure to put this on your trip itinerary. The highlight of my evening was the Uber ride home I paid for because the tubes were no longer running. yay. read more

The negative reviews do have some highly valid points in regards to the drinks prices, which are pretty steep, however you don't come to Fabric to sit in the corner moodily drinking your beer. In terms of atmosphere, DJ's and sheer head explodingly powerful sound systems, Fabric blows every other club in London out of the water. The clientele are up for a good time (who'd pay £20 to get in only to start a fight and get kicked out?), even on the more heavy drum & bass nights. The security are on point and friendly which is more then can be said for many similar venues, and all in all, if your prepared to flash the cash, you really can't go wrong here. This place hasn't been voted the best club in London/The Uk/The World numerous times for nothing. read more

I'm never going back to Fabric again and here are just some of the reasons why. First off, the cover charge is ridiculous (from the American perspective at least). I'm not used to paying anywhere near 25 pounds to get into a club especially when I don't end up having a great experience. That price is a rip off in my opinion. Also, the student discount only applies to UK students. Personally I think that students around the world should ALL be entitled to that discount since we are all on a budget. Next, the security guard swept her fingers in my bra and literally touched my breasts! I respect that she is doing her job and trying to keep us safe but putting her fingers in my bra seems a bit extreme. To give the venue a little credit, the women who swiped me with the metal detector and the one at the coat check were very nice. I won't talk too much about the music as everyone has their own preferences but I definitely didn't like it. I recommend searching the DJs that are performing the night you go to see if you like it. If you've been to Pacha Ibiza (which I have) and liked it, then you might like this place too as it's pretty much an underground version of Pacha Ibiza. If you are into drugs, this is the place for you. Literally the majority of people are popping pills, smoking stuff and sniffing substances right in front of you! From the moment you walk out of the tube station people are selling you drugs. I'm not into drugs so this wasn't for me. There are some comfortable seating areas (couches, bean bag chairs, some that resemble beds) which seemed like a great idea at first until they got taken over by couples getting it on. There is a room for substance abuse advice and free water etc but I'm not sure how many people actually go there for advice. It's nice that the club offers this though! I went to Ministry of Sound the previous night and let's just say I wish I had just gone there again instead of here. It's cheaper, the drug use isn't as common, the security search isn't as touchy, and the music is more like what I'm into. All in all I had an awful experience at Fabric and will never be back. read more

One of my worst clubbing experiences ever. My bf and I were in London and decided to check out Fabric even though we'd heard the crowd was pretty terrible. Unfortunately it was even worse than we expected. The bookings are decent, but I can't imagine why any respectable DJ would want to play here. The staff are rude and borderline abusive (maybe they feel stressed with all of the cops outside supervising them). We were aggressively searched for party favors on the way in and I didn't see any drug use inside (although we were asked by other patrons at least 20 times if we had anything). Security in the bathroom was brutal and at one point we were berated for wanting to wait for a stall, the implication being that we were either trying to hide something or take a dump and shouldn't be doing either. The crowd was a mix of wasted college guys and wealthy losers with their gold digging girlfriends. We aren't really prone to public displays of affection, but we were particularly careful not to get too close as the vibe felt a bit hostile toward gays. The sound system was mediocre for such a hyped club, which likely has more to do with layout than anything. On the way out of the club I was asked to produce my phone and prove I hadn't taken any photos (of what I'm not sure since drugs don't make it in, right?). We would never go back here. It's not even worth it just to say you've been and had the experience. read more

Literally the worst club I have ever been to. First they charged me and my group of 12 girlfriends 20 pounds each! At first I was hesitant in paying it because in other clubs I never need to pay for entrance ever! But because I heard so much good things about this club being one of London's greatest club, I paid the 20 pounds regretfully. Then coat service was 4 more pounds for my coat and my bag and honestly the dance floor is so confusing and spread out that every one was everywhere and literally just a sausage fest on the dance floor. It was empty and the music was horrible. We tried to request music but the dj was so mean. Also our group was so unhappy we asked for a refund to leave and we even talked to the manager and they literally told us that we should've done our research before we went, when honestly if you're a popular and well known club, you should always be bumping with a solid reputation. Literally so unhappy with this experience. Don't go and waste your money. Trust. read more

Really mixed feelings about this place. I'm not much into bass music, but love techno & tech house, and that's mostly what you can expect on Saturday nights. If I lived in London, I'd be tempted to go at least a couple of times per month. The lineups are almost always fantastic -- three rooms with solid bookings throughout. (For example, when I went in June, Shed, Blawan and Marcel Dettmann were playing... in just one of the three rooms). The sound is pretty good, very bass heavy, and there is plenty of room in the venue (though some of the rooms get a bit cramped). Now that I've established the reason you should want to check out Fabric, I'll get to the downsides. Long queue for entry, even with pre-sales. They had let patrons without tickets enter before those who'd already paid. Not cool. Once inside, forced up another long queue, still in line with those who have no ticket yet. There was simply no means of handling advance ticket holders. Queue for coat check was short, at least. Having spent almost an hour moving past these obstacles, the staff was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. No information about set times, no help finding rooms for the first time visitor. Everyone was being herded down stairs (later I'd realize towards Room 1). The place is a maze. It took me a while to find the room I was looking for, and I realized later that the security guard I'd asked for Room 3 -- who refused to tell me where it was -- was standing right next to the stairs to Room 3. Thanks for nothing. Restrooms are unisex, crowded, and kind of disgusting as the night moves on. I'm not sure why they bother posting security in the restrooms? Nothing illicit was being stopped. Bar lines were very long until later in the night. I thought the prices were fair, but I'm used to high priced drinks at clubs and festivals, so this was nothing concerning to me. I feel like I have a higher than usual tolerance for drunk/high crowds, but a lot of the people here were just sloppy. There's also an incredibly high ratio of guys to girls. As a female, you'd think that would make for a fun night... having your choice of men. Unfortunately, it just meant that females are hit on over and over again, by unattractive guys who can't seem to understand 'no.' Made it tough to dance and enjoy the music without being bothered all night. Will I be back? Definitely will. But after years of eying Fabric's lineups enviously and hearing about how great the venue is, I was very disappointed by the reality that a venue without strict door policies will indeed be full of the worst people you can imagine. read more

Very elaborate security precautions but the club was really incredible. It has about four different levels with different bars and rooms. The music was good, they have different themed nights. Pretty large dance floor and great lights. We had fun. read more

Dayuuuuuummmm. I went to this club and wow. This place was crackin with white woman. I'm NOT white from LA, and hollywood is pretty mixed up with ppl but dayuuuuuummmm these white girls are freaky. I just opened my mouth to say something and they were opening their mouth for me to place somthing. Lol. the music's cool. I don't dance too much to drum and bass bc not to many b!tchs like rubbing their booties on Ol' Richard but... with my accent I had my selection of hoes. Drink prices are bout the same. I pregamed b4 I went in bc I am a shy Boy. But still bad. Lol. I don't know what cover was cause I didn't pay. But there was a small line, n it's kinda different inside, it is like a "maze" or dark sections to stick the tip in. Lololol. Naaaa. I didn't do that... B] But uhhh, this place is pretty chill. No real complaints. I was fuķëd up. Ummm, yeah lots of horny white honeys wanting americans. REMEMBER TO PULL YO AMERICAN CARD OUT! IT WILL GET YOU SOME POON! read more

One of the top clubs in the world. I have been coming here for over 10 years and it never fails to disappoint. Great music, awesome sound, decent prices on drinks. This is a winner, especially if you like Techno, Drum and Bass, and other more underground genres. read more

Perhaps it's changed, I don't know, I've not been here since 2003. In 2003 I went here 3x... each of those Saturdays turned into Sundays. One even turned into Sunday afternoon. All classic nights. Viva Fabric. _C$ read more

First and last time I am going to Fabric! From the moment I started queuing, I already noticed that the way in which the event was organized was really bad. The unfriendly way in which us (customers) are treated inside this club is just too much. I start by saying that, while my friend and I were about to get in and buy the tickets, a guy from the security staff told my friend to "put out the cigarette," as my friend did not speak English that well, he understood that the smoke was irritating the security guy, not that he had to throw it away. After a couple of times he repeated the same thing, which could be bearly be heard due to the amount of noise coming from inside the club, the security slapped him on the back of his head and threw us out of the queue (after waiting sixty minutes outside to get in,) pulling us by the clothes and shouting at us. When we where inside during the security check, they pushed us again shouting "move on to the cashier." Sincerely, I feel like we have been treated like animals! I DO NOT want to pay £20 to be treated as an animal, pushed and pulled around, with people shouting at me. Never going back, I went clubbing countless times, but Fabric really got me mad. read more

While I no longer chase the party, Fabric remains, in my mind, a symbol of the best that the scene has to offer. Cheers especially to the D&B crews that have rolled through over the past decade. read more

My friends and I had a good time overall here. There are quite a few rooms with different music, so eventually, you'll find a room you really like. The only drawback are the mega-creepy guys who come to Fabric to hit on girls. Some are more subtly creepy while others really make you cringe. Avoid these people as best as you can, and I think you'll have a good time. read more

Being new in town and having a visiting younger sister this seemed like the place to go. It was welcoming enough and nothing to be intimidated by save for the fact that the layout was kind of confusing. My 10GBP "Smirnoff" drink was bar none the worst drink I've ever had that was not made by me, it had to have been watered down everclear or compromised by sandy dishsoap; a GG drink was just OK but well worth the extra 2GBP. It was cool enough, but I guess I had too high of exceptions. GF made three so the previously stated M/F ratio wasn't an issue but it can be confirmed it. Everyone was pleasant enough. OK I'm done boring you. read more

This place is awful. I went last night for Villalobos and the only good thing was the music, which obviously has nothing to do with the venue. The place is much smaller than I'd thought, smelly and full of tourists (not the cool ones, those who queue for 2 hours for Madame Tussaud). I (a girl) was constantly hit on and TOUCHED by men, mostly Italians, even after telling them to stop they wouldn't. Drinks are overpriced and security rude as fuck and also ineffective (lol). Expect to pay £14-24. A total waste of time and it's hilarious how this place is compared to berghain (berlin) because they're the total opposite. I'd read they were threatening to shut the place down and tbh I'd be glad if they did. read more

Sorry but Fabric shows off the worst side of London. Sure the club is OK, but the door staff are aggressive, and present an awful image of London. They push you, they are unable to talk to you and treat you like a criminal. I'm so sorry my country is seen by so many young tourists in such a way. Avoid this place. Stick to the small bars and clubs. London is so much better and more than Fabric. Note what symbol the Fabric logo resembles. read more

Coming from NYC, this is as special experience. For one reason: it's enormous. I mean big. Three giant rooms. All of it is drum and bass music, so if that's not your thing, don't come here. Really. The line is long but it actually goes by really fast. Drinks are kind of a rip off. I asked for a whiskey neat, and I got a shot poured. D'oh. Oh well. Still, I recommend this place, 5 stars, for anyone who wants to experience some awesome nightlife in London. read more

Excellent sound system, wicked venue, good security and a friendly crowd! Fun place for a good night out. Everyone should experience the two day hearing problem, it's well worth it! read more

If you go to London, you HAVE to experience Fabric. The DJs are absolutely amazing !! While studying abroad in London I heard so much hype about this club so I had very high expectations. I was not disappointed, I had an amazing time and next time I'm in London I will definitely go back. read more

Fabric is a right of passage, not just for Londoners but for everyone who loves brilliant, cutting-edge dance music. The soundsystem, atmosphere, the people, the mind-boggling (particularly at 4am..) layout, well, just about everything. Having visited clubs in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Paris and Miami, Fabric is still definitely in my opinion the best in the world and as good as it gets, and many top DJs agree. It's a big space without feeling cavernous, it feels genuinely hedonistic. The people I've met on nights (mostly Saturdays) at Fabric have always been up for it, passionate about the music or whoever was DJing and this I feel makes a huge difference. It's not an 'anonymous' rave cave, it's a destination club. As London's club scene becomes over-saturated with 'semi-legal' warehouse raves with questionable soundsystems, leaky ceilings, zero toilet facilities and not to mention a standard cover charge of at least £15 (I noticed some people complaining about the price of fabric) £15 entry is so worth it! To return to Fabric after going to too many 'warehouse raves' is sheer bliss. The staff (even the bouncers) are genuinely friendly and courteous, there are giant sofas/beds for chilling out and you don't need to queue to use the always immaculate toilets. There's even a girly mirror area for fixing your makeup. If you love electronic music, you are hard pressed to find a better venue in London, if not the world. read more

This was my first time visiting London and we had recommendations from multiple people saying we should check this place out, so my friend and I jumped on it. The cover charge was ridiculous, £22 each, which was crazy on its own. We ordered drinks, £6.50 for a red bull and vodka, we drank 4 each and a mojito which was £10, and after all of that neither of us were buzzed. For the cover charge and the price of entry, we should have been smashed. Besides the drinks, the atmosphere was so stiff. The music was very one-beat and not good enough to really dance to besides an awkward sway from side-to-side. Overall, very disappointed and won't be returning! read more

I first came to Fabric years ago when I was still a college student in Devon. I remember having a good night but that was mostly because of the crowd I was with and probably all the alcohol consumption! I've been a few times since then, but never had a particularly good night with regards to the venue itself. To me, it is a cold, unfriendly place, too busy with people who seem to come because of it's reputation. I'm definitely too old for it now. I'm much happier going to smaller, more intimate venues, even just to the local pub, than to a club like Fabric. Saying all this, Fabric really does consistently get good line ups, as its always guaranteed to be packed, everyone is happy to be playing at the legendary Fabric. Not my cup of tea and I'm sure the experience is improved if you're with a big group of friends and you can ignore all the other idiots who descend on the club on weekends. read more

Massive club. Multiple rooms with damn good hardcore trance, drum&bass, etc. If you're out for a proper club night and plan on being out until sunrise this place is worth hitting up. read more

Paid for fabricfirst day of the event. People at the front tell me my account is inactive even though they say it is updated live. No one there able or willing to help. Just tell me to call on Monday. Won't even look at my bank statement which shows I paid the exact membership fee that day. They just tell me to call on Monday. Staff obviously doesn't care and any mistake of theirs they will happily make you pay for. read more

I rarely go to Fabric as I am not into Techno. Went there to see HUCCI as I like Trap Music and he was awesome! Entry fee was GBP 20 for the Friday night. The prices for drinks are reasonable as well and I will be definitely back when there is some Trap Music event again. read more

Saturday night visit satisfied my fix for tech house. The music was *solid in all three rooms. No issues with the staff, queue, or coat check, though 15 pound minimum on credit cards & no bar tabs kept my girlfriend and i holding three drinks between the two us. I felt sorry for the single blokes looking to mingle, which was about 75% of the crowd. I thought them decently behaved until my girl mentioned a grope and some pats, and only after-the-fact to avoid any chest thumping. So gents keep your girl close and stick to the sides for best results. Minus that revelation it was a proper party, still picking up steam when we left at half-past 3. Game on. read more
