There are three floors to choose from and a tiny outside terrace. The top floor has a small balcony also. I preferred the top floor as it's more chilled out up there and the music isn't too loud. The second floor was more like a club and had to threaten to chin some guy who kept pinching my butt and thinking he was all clever and smooth. Eurgh. Drinks are expensive! It actually kind of hurts when you hand over £12 for 2 single vodkas and the service is also painfully slow. I booked a table here at Babble once for a office outing and requested over the phone a table for 12 people... Well I got the smallest table on the floor and 3 seats! After complaining that it was not what I had booked the staff told me that my reservation included standing space for people... Well why on earth would I bother booking a table if I wanted everyone to just stand? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Cocktails weren't even that nice to be honest. I got ID'd at the bar when trying to order drinks despite already being ID'd before entry. It's an okay place, not terrible. At least the decor is decent. You can enjoy it if you're with good company.

Inside the décor is nice enough, they do have a small outside space which would be nice on a sunny evening. Overall I expect a nice place to come for after work drinks but it doesn't have a wow factor and of course expect pricey drinks!

I've never really been into the UK Garage/Grime/2Step stuff but luckily one of the weekend nights is dedicated to stuff I do like (House & Techno) so there's always something happening I'll probably enjoy. Getting in is as streamlined as it can be for a club that was required to add some extra scurtiny. I've never had to wait that long and it's painless. Once you're in it's like a giant industrial complex dedicated to high quality dance music. Really like the people wearing shirts like "Don't Be a Creep" because yes, don't be that person.

As we walked down the first set of stairs we are greated with a David Hasselhoff picture on a door, with 80's music playing, broad smiles crossed our faces. Itcouldn't believe we hadn't been here before! A friend had told us of such a place but to actually be there it was kind of a dream come true. It had just opened so it wasn't busy, we walked around checking out the A-Team, Flash Gordon the screen, and the many, many weird electric plastic things you can buy for cheap. (including a cone bra, glittered hats and glowsticks) The drinks are named after classic 80's things, (blue lagoon, the knightrider) and for £15 you can purchase a plastic margarita glass full of your favourite cocktail the likes of only Vegas can provide. Since it was so early we didn't have to pay cover or wait outside, just walked right in and had a drink each. In the process we bumped into a stag night group who were quite entertaining. The place losses a star because the volume of the music (which border lined on 70's disco sometimes) was deafening for 9pm, and on Friday and Saturday nights it must be avoided as it's THE place for Stag and Hen nights. Meaning a lot of drunken messes. It's only open three days a week so keep that in mind. There's no cover on Thursdays, my friend and myself cannot wait to go back to see how it is during the week with a group of our friends and the proper 80's dance wear.

This is not the best club in Shoreditch - for sure - but it does have history…read more You can find this place in a little "hidden" deactivated railway that has been turned into a concert/rave venue with lots of crazy people dancing. I must say that I thought my night out here would be a little more "alternative" but this is certainly the mainstreamest place around the area. Personal opinion aside this it's a cool spot. Two dance floors, a bar with a couple of places to sit and an outside area (where you will freeze on Winter). The bouncers are not the most polite people in the world - where are the nice bouncers any way? You will arrive, and it doesn't matter how old you look they will scan your ID, many times. You will come in, and still, not a single smile from them. But the rudeness hasn't arrived yet, they will turn mad specially if you put your coat or purse on a table/chair and dance around it. They will claim it's not safe, but the real reason is: they want you to use their cloakroom (£2 per item). I have never ate here, but they do have a menu. Although if it gets as expensive as the entry you should rather spend your pounds in a nice restaurant, and Shoreditch has plenty of options.

We finally got to go in (after complaining for about an hour.) it just felt like they were eyeing our group the whole time even thought we paid for table services.

If you want to have a good time this place needs to change their views and stop all racism then i would recommend it. Stay away for now

It was very busy and I imagine if you had to wait in the queue you would have been there for a while but luckily enough I had been invited by the owners so was given the Paris Hilton treatment. I would check for guest list in the future as no one enjoys hanging around in the cold! The music was minimal, electro house and although it has a late finish (6am) the crowd danced all night. The 'crowd' seem to be the old Jaded lot from AKA so a bit of a mix between hard core partiers and the more sensible type of clubber ;) It was extremely busy maybe because it was the opening night but this made the bar a bit of a nightmare (my only complaint) I will certainly be back!

Club Aquarium was once a cool place to be on a Saturday night. The idea of having a club with a…read moreswimming pool really did appeal to me and my friends when we were around 18, many of us would go there to get our cheap thrills, looking through the windows of the pool area. The great thing was that you didn't have to swim, and if you did, it would cost an extra five pound, that would get you access to the pool and a towel. I do enjoy a swim, but I tend to go swimming pools at fitness centres, costing a lot less. The last time I went to the Club Aquarium was for an after party, we got the at 6 am and left at around 10 am, so it's a venue that provides a challenge, to party all night. It is a very well known venue with a great sound system, so it often has top DJ's performing. It is only a few minutes walk from Old Street Tube, so if your in the Old Street area and the club you were at shut at 4am, you can make your way to the Aquarium, chill there, watch people swim, have a drink, and by the time you do all that through the crowd, the underground would have opened. It is the only club in the UK to have a pool, it's a novelty and worth a visit. Definitely suggest the morning after party's.

Aquarium is the only club in England to offer swimming facilities and after going there I…read moreunderstand why the idea isn't more popular. Though it is a novelty to find yourself swimming at midnight you quickly realise that it's proabably an activity best confined to daylight hours. The rest of the interior plays upon the underwater theme with soft ethereal coloured lighting and white drapes criss-crossing the ceiling. This place generally attracts friendly, possilby slightly perverted people eager for the opportunity to see someone in a two-piece. Music-wise each night is different and offer alternatively cheesy pop, electro, funky house and disco so it's always best to check for the night that suits you best. Drinks are fairly expensive but pretty standard for this club strewn area of London. A nice place to come with a group of mates but because of its novelty it's unlikely to become a regular to many.

Don't go! Seriously - it's all mine and I don't want to share it…read more Okay that is a bit extreme but this place is the most magical club in the world and I'm resenting every letter I type here. So here's the deal, I'll write this and you'll appreciate it but never actually set foot it this place..okay? Good! I discovered this club/venue through my far too cool flatmate and we went on Halloween. It was like a huge house party full of your friends in some of the most horrific fancy dress I have ever seen. They have a small stage at the front where local artists perform alongside burlesque dancers for a truly eye opening experience. The place is filled with party people who dress funny even when they aren't in fancy dress and the drinks are cheap enough to get drunk on £20. That is after playing a whooping £10 to get in. Since that night I have been back a few times and every time I do it gets harder to get in. The queues are longer and the door staff ruder, in fact this Halloween we got there and they wouldn't even let us in at all. At 7pm (and I like to say that the normal starting time for things like this is about 11pm) there was over 200 people outside all waiting. We were not one of the lucky ones. So if I have had all of this trouble why so many star? It will still always be an amazing mixture of students, artists and free thinkers out for a good night with like minded people in a historic venue. There is even a Banksy painted on one side of it's wall. I wish more places would be like this so that we could all fit in!

What -is- this place?!…read more A girl was putting on lipstick in the mirror whilst I was using the urinal trough in the gents'. Another girl was in the toilet stall. The seat of the chair I sat on fell through between the legs as I adjusted my bum on it, and the stage was set with a massive light-festooned heart and a fabric vag the size of a sofa. Admittedly, this happened to be on the night of The Vagina Monologues performance and the crowd was teeming with lesbians and feminists, so that might explain the decor. I figure that the booze is typically cheap and that the space is just as grotty for any other event. The beauty of it is that's all it's meant to be - no more and no less. ---- As an aside... how does one punctuate the gents'? Gents? Gent's? Gents'?
