It's a modern, casual place with ample comfortable seating. Ricardo (super awesome human being) took our orders and helped me select mine. He recommended the Herby Chicken and Steak Pie. I went with Steak Pie. My friend ordered a burger with chips. Her food came and about an hour later, I was still waiting. The people who sat down about 30 minutes after me got an apology on the delay of their food (one of the guys ordered the same thing as me) and got their food before me. I had to flag the server (and later manager) down to inquire about my food, which I received a vague answer initially about it being redone and the pie that the man next to me received was indeed his. I honestly don't care who's name is on the pie, I just wanted my food, especially since I ordered way before he did. The manager apologized and dealt with my concern calmly. He made sure my food was delivered personally shortly. Ricardo also followed up and apologized for the situation. Abeit the whole mix up, the Steak Pie was sublime. The upper crust was a smidge overdone for my liking, but the filling was mighty tasty. Even the veggies and mashed potato was tasty all the way through. Wished I had 2 bellies, so I could squeeze every morsel in. Despite the situation, I thoroughly enjoyed my food, Ricardo was amazing, and the manager dealt with the situation cordially--I'd come back.

Their tone was aggressive, intimidating, and completely unprofessional. They then banned me from the club for no valid reason. As a young female I felt intimidated and I had to walk away and wait for my transport somewhere else as the insults wouldn't stop and they kept calling me a horrible friend, a disgusting person etc... It was around 3am and i should've felt safe waiting next to the venue however it was the exact opposite. The incel security team seems to be on a power trip, making excuses to harass women instead of acting professionally, not to mention my friend got home okay and he is disgusted with how they treated me.

Avoid at all costs…read more I wish to complain, in the strongest possible terms, about the shockingly rude and disgraceful customer service I recently had the misfortune of enduring on a night out at The Edge. I'll set the scene; I was with a group of friends celebrating a birthday, where the birthday girl understandably wanted to visit you as a fixture of the gay scene in Southampton. We agreed - the Edge has an excellent reputation. However, the treatment I and several other members of the birthday party we endured is, frankly, completely unacceptable. The door staff you employ, or contract, are disgustingly rude. Unaware that a picture ID system was in place (I've not been to a club since Covid), I was unaware that I needed to bring a form of photo ID with me. Fair enough - I was happy to show the woman at the door a copy of my credit card and my Facebook profile picture as proof that I am who I say I am. However, the manner and way in which she proceeded to extremely patronisingly demand "well why don't you have any photo ID", visibly sighing and rather dismissively inferring that I was stupid for not knowing this. Rather than politely saying "oh that's ok, we can use Facebook and a credit card" or words to that effect, she essentially demanding that I needed photo ID and that " as your [The Edge's] photo-ID systems had been installed for four years" and that I should "get with the times". As if my mere presence insulted her and that I, single-handedly, was making her job ten times harder than it needed be. Then visibly annoyed while waiting for me to sign in to Facebook and provide evidence of my ID, she snatched my credit card away from me and presented it to the man at the responsible for entering ID systems, saying that I should apologise to her for holding the queue up. By this point I had decided that if this was representative of the "service" at your establishment that I was not comfortable patronising your bar, and that I wanted to leave. I then requested my credit card back from the man at the door, at which point I overheard her say words to the effect of "are you being serious? That's a f***ing waste of time". As if patrons, your valued customers, are little more than cattle to be herded, with no regard for either my safety, or the feelings of your clients. Extreme words, perhaps, but that's honestly the feeling I got from her. The door staff member in question is what I would describe as an older lady, with peroxide blonde or very light brown hair, working in a black T-shirt that says "security". Because I just wanted to get out of there I didn't get her name, unfortunately, but she was working around 11:30 pm on Saturday 12th September. While I understand that being door staff is hardly rocket science, I nevertheless expect a certain level of professionalism and modicum of both decency and respect as a possible customer at your bar - she is 'security', but I hardly felt 'secure' with her. My entire experience, and in particular the abysmal and deeply offensive level of service provided by the member of staff in question is, frankly, disgusting, and completely unacceptable. This whole unfortunate experience has completely ruined a perfectly good night out, and I am still, over an hour later, visibly shaken (and, indeed, shaking). If this is standard of customer "service" I can expect from The Edge, it paints what I am sorry to say is a level of service far below that which can be reasonably expected from one of Southampton's premiere LGBT+ clubs. What a disgusting end to a great night out.

The inside area is larger than you think, with a dance floor downstairs. There's also a huge outside area. It was very busy on the Saturday night we were there and I didn't find the atmosphere particularly friendly. I can say all that though and still give it 3 stars because I can see it isn't for me (too old/not alternative enough) but I've given it 2 stars because of the 'cocktails'. They make a big thing of doing 'fellowship' cocktails in pint glasses. They basically are made of fluorescent coloured sugars and low percentage cheap alcohol. They made me feel more sleepy and grumpy than anything- not exactly how you want to feel before you go out. They would be better getting a variety of decent cider/ales on tap which they could also charge £5 for but would actually taste like something. But if you're a student you'll love it, so this is just proof that I'm now incredibly old.
