Worst club in Leicester. I didn’t know UK was racist until I went to this club at about 4am. Before heading in a girl warned us not to go there, cause they’re all racist POS. We didn’t believe them and went anyways. I was with my Albanian and two white friends. When we went downstairs, the maintenance and everything was low quality. The music was okay though. We went upstairs for a smoke, and the bouncer walks up to me and says, “I wanna have a little chat with you.” He escorted me to the exit and said that “some people” don’t feel comfortable with me being in there, they don’t want me around and he can’t tell me who cause it’s confidential. There’s so much more that happened after that, I can’t even begin to describe. Guy after girl, everyone was kicked out and I noticed that they were all POC, until there were only white people left in thr club. My friends joined me soon afterwards and we didn’t speak about it. One of them did say that he’d rather live in New York than in Leicester. I’ve never seen my friends feel so disgusted about anything, they were straight up disappointed. I wish I could just erase that memory I have about going to Basement.

Had horrible experience at this nightclub, and not for the first time. Went to staff concerned about my friends drink getting spiked, and got belittled, looked down at, gaslight and completely disregarded. Even asked staff to simply acknowledge the fear and danger women go through on a night out, of which they blatantly disregarded and handed me a card to complain to. Whilst this was going on my friend was waiting for me outside the entrance making sure I was okay, to which within 2 minutes bouncers manhandled her, holding both hands behind her back and aggressively shoved her out the premises. Disgusted, not a safe place for women to go out in any way.

Last Friday I went to basement for the first time and The bouncer thought he was tough because he had a face covering on and then proceeded to rob me of £30 out my wallet and bully others in the venue will not be returning (tall foreign skinny) is my description of him he shouldn’t be hard to find

Went to a Halloween event, was allowed in fine and was told throughout the night I wasn’t allowed to wear my police hat even though there were other people wearing hats. He took it from me so I told another guard and he told me the same thing even though he was wearing a hat himself, he then grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the club over a hat. I do not recommend, they mistreat people and are aggressive and rude.

Place is pretty okay music is great bar staff great but a particular bouncer last night became aggressive yesterday because me and my friend wanted ice while there was still multiple people in the bar, personally if you are doing to work in a club you need people who know how to communicate without aggression. I work in a bar myself and I would NEVER act so aggressively over ice. Extremely poor from him , would have been a great night until that point

This place was so bad even the door supervisors were kind enough to let us know it isn't worth going in. We still decided to give it a go and ... We should have listened to the door supervisors!Honestly this place deserves ONE star but I gave TWO stars purely because of the honesty and polite positive attitude of the doormen.Thanks guys! Hopefully see you again at a better venue!

Very professional and polite security that keeps unwanted crowd out and keeps the guests behaved and safe. Both management and staff continually work on improving the venue, and the club has seen a lot of improvements in recent months. Overall decent experience on most nights, tho it would be nice to see the venue fill up a bit earlier. 5th star earned for effort. Could be a bit better, but still very good considering what they're working with. After all it's not London
