Went in for a hens party on the weekend and we had the best time. There was a confetti machine 😂 amazing. Hadnt been there in years but will definitely be going back
It was okay, first time visiting. Good entry, massive line up but only one person checking people in when they had two lines so a bit slow, got in ordered drink bartenders nice and fast. Music definitely needs improvement, I love dancing but the music here was alright but they kept changing songs every few seconds so was hard to get in the mood ended up finishing my one drink and walking out. I’ll try the place again next time I’m at Gold Coast to see if any improvements. Costing is definitely cheaper than Brisbane which was good tho 😊
My partner and I attempted to attend this club this evening, only to be met with ear piercing volume and no hearing protection provided. As a licensed venue, which I assume you are, there is a MAXIMUM of 75 decibels measured approximately 3 meters away from the source. I studied a few university units in music technologies and it was in my belief, well over the 75 decibels limit. The sound almost matched the ear piercing noise of an aircraft’s APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) which sits at around 113 decibels. Having experience in the aviation industry myself. Unfortunately I have no proof of measurement, but my partners and my ears have paid the price. We even attempted to sit as far away from the dance floor as possible, but the whole venue had large speakers in every corner possible. Making it impossible to bear the ear piercing noise. We left the venue after two minutes of being inside and attempted to get a refund, only to be told “that’s not how it works” by the staff member at the front desk.
Email said I was enabled to a $60 voucher for my birthday. I was given 6 drink cards for basics only instead even after showing the email proof. Talk about false advertising. Friend's drink was terrible. The service given to them reeked as well as their poor quality drinks. I was thinking about leaving before they mentioned. The vibe and atmosphere also wasn't so good. A poor experience all in all.
We attended the over 30’s event on the 1st of Nov and even though we had a good time there were two areas that in my opinion need improving. The DJ was horrible and didn’t seem to know what he was doing. He lacked skill and pizazz. Plus the music was deafening. I love my music loud but the levels played at this event were unpleasant. The other area of concern were the toilets. I had to use a toilet that had no functioning lock on the door. Surely with the amount of money they make they can afford to fix a lock.
