Fabric London in Sake

Awful club. Would not let us in for being too drunk even through we did not have anything to drink beforehand. Our friends got in before us and after they left the club to meet us outside - they were not let in back for the same reason (again, they did not have anything to drink beforehand and had already been inside)Fabric is just stealing money.

Best club in London by a mile! Plausibly the best club sound system in the world and trust me it makes everywhere else look amateur. Line ups are top class, but if you are going here to do anything other than dance from open to close you haven’t understood what it is that fabric offer. Don’t expect vip/bottle service, don’t expect everyone to be looking for a hook up, don’t expect mainstream music. Fabric is the best at what they do, finding and showcasing the best of electronic dance music and providing the highest quality experience that is all centred around the music. If you don’t love the music, just don’t go you wont enjoy it and you’ll take up our dance floor space. Had brilliant nights when we just went spontaneously but I would really recommend seeing what’s on in advance and listening to the djs playing certain nights before deciding when you want to visit. But it’s a religious experience everytime, nothing like it. The fabric team are legendary, we love you!

If I can give 10 ⭐️ I would simply for the amazing security team , Gareth and his team , Martin, Finn and everyone we met throughout the club has been nothing but friendly and well mannered , making us feel safe secure and happy! Lots of love for all the Fabric security team xx

Pleasd avoid this club at all costs. I went in with my two friends dressed normally and queued up like everyone else. We booked tickets prior to the event on saturday 26th. We got to the front of the queue and were asked to leave the premises without ANY reason. We spoke to Luke and Ahmed. Both were managers who refused to explain their reasonings behind the entry refusal. Then to make matters worse, one of the security guards grabbed my neck and pushed me aside on the actual public pavement and outside the premises. I spoke to the police nearby but they did not take any action. I paid £91.20. For context my friends and I are of middleastern and african origin.

Great venue if it wasn’t overcrowded with belligerent children and wayward tourists. They sell too many tickets. No room to dance. Within an hour, 3 people spilled drinks all over me, and I wasn’t drinking, but I smelled like vodka and RedBull was burning my eyes. The security process is dehumanizing. Saw many people get turned away because the friskers found drugs in their shoes or under their breasts. Be prepared for it to take a while to get in and out; takes 10 minutes to check your coat, and 20 to retrieve it. Not great if you struggle with claustrophobia and limited airflow or visibility. Might as well go and check it off your list, though.

Massively overrated!!More stairs than dance floor.More staff than customers. Super agressive staff for no apparent reason.Super boring atmosphere.

Not sure about the nightclub experience, but this place is really not set up to be a gig venue. The layout is confusing, and the sound desk is in the worst place relative to the stage. Meaning if youre not stood right at the front you dont see a thing. Also the drinks are disgustingly overpriced (£6+ for a 330ml can). Also the queueing was unbelievably stupid. You have ticket tixket booths for different suppliers, only for them to print off a paper receipt for you to immediately hand to someone else, and THEN you walk back the way you came to actually enter the club. With no signage.Otherwise the sound quality was the absolute saving grace of this place - I didnt even need to put ear plugs in, and I could talk to those around me easily. The toilets are unisex and theres lots of them, so not queueing to pee!

Worst club I have ever been to. If you like techno, no lyrics, no variation for 7 hours straight then perfect club for you but for me I was incredibly bored and experienced one of the worst nights of my life. For having 3 rooms there could be a variation of genres because all techo and literally no changes all night gets extremely tiring.

Great food. Excellent hospitality and service (but I was also the only one there for a midweek lunch). I can tell this place would be packed for dinner. Quality Indian cuisine>is it

Went here last Saturday night with some friends from Holland. Great location, really unique. Sound system is great, vibes were nothing less.Had a little situation regarding my prescribed meds which they found suspicious and threw away. Made me frustrated in the beginning but in the end being very pleased about how professional and adequate the security and manager handled it. Had a good talk about it after leaving with both, all real friendly and cool. Thanks again for being precautions with everyone inside in mind.

The staff team leaves much to be desired. They wear a t-shirt that says "dont be a creep" but they serve you like one. Unfortunately, the two times I was served I received yelling and bad faces. It is supposed to be an environment to spend a pleasant evening and they prevent you from doing so. I would never give them a pound of the tip they ask for.

the staff there are very rude and aggressive, strongly racism. They judged u with “too drunk” with no reason (only personal judgement), no any professional test, only with oral “I’m professional”and kicked people out. Really disappointed, if u want to have a nice night, plz choose another clubs with better music and staffs.

the venue of this place is insane. but the crowd is overall lame when I went minus the sunday of the birthday where my sister played (maybe cause I was alone on the saturday)but its worth checking out for the venue. airport level security and are super intense so be careful with what you try to bring in and how.

i was grabbed by a bouncer and thrown into a crowd of people for “not staying in the line” (the line being everyone shoved against the wall and no barrierswhen at that point, my friends and i had been IN line for almost an hour. the bouncer did not even ASK me to move first, if he did i would have complied without question but he just immediately resorted to grabbing and throwing me against everyone else while yelling at everyone. I am physically small and he was much bigger and stronger than me and it was traumatizing. i immediately felt unsafe and was looking for my friends when i saw the bouncer telling them to go forward in line while i was alone, and so i reached out to grab my friends hand who was trying to help me and he slapped my hand. and didn’t allow me to even join my friends after physically assaulting me. a grown man treating a young woman like this is traumatizing and unacceptable and i felt so unsafe and scared. he did not apologize and ignored me while i cried in a crowd of strangers after purposefully separating me from my friends and assaulting me for no reason. i was not intoxicated or non-complaint. after this, another bouncer was also trying to keep the line in order and slapped my face and hit me directly in the eye, however this was a mistake and he apologized (only after a few minutes). i was shaking and traumatized and i hadn’t even entered the club yet so i left immediately after i made sure my friends got in safely and were not assaulted by any more bouncers. i will never return to this venue and likely will never go to anything similar because i am scarred and never want to experience anything like this. it was completely unacceptable and a scarring experience, and whoever manages the employees needs to do something about their bouncers because this is physically and mentally traumatizing and illegal.

Great security staff. Responded quickly and thoughtfully to an issue. Made us feel safe (as a gay couple). Music was great, good vibes, drinks were reasonably priced. All round good venue

We paid for a ticket for Halloween. We were a group of 7 lads. They suddenly took us out of the queue and asked us to describe the music being played. Bizarre, never heard of that happening before.After we adequately described that we know the music being played, they let us back in the queue.Then, the manager took our mate out of the queue because he ‘acted strangely in response to putting our stickers on his phone’. They used this as an excuse to kick us out before we even got in. I cannot stress how respectful & polite we were.It came out of nowhere & they played it off as a justified decision. It was not. It bares mentioning that the manager (short, beardedrefused to explain his decision. This club is discriminatory (as our group is highly diverse, and he looked at our BAME members strangely), would highly recommend avoiding.Never experienced this kind of treatment before, anywhere in the UK or across Europe.

Coolest club in the UK. Music, venue, staff, all are fantastic. Its big, its eclectic, the audience comes for the music and enjoys a great night. Its very popular so expect long lines on weekends or get a vip/ guest list to jump the line.

Favourite nightclub in London for 4 years. The security is always great, sound system is amazing and everything is priced well

Decent techno playing in room 2, but no entry fee advertised until you get to the desk, which also takes about half an hour. Security, whilst actually very pleasant, do a very thorough search, which is good in some aspects, although a little overbearing. A 4pm close is too early for this type of venue, it needs to be at least a 6am finish. The endless steps and tiny rooms may somewhat add to its charm but are also a hassle. We went because xoyo was closed for the evening, and it turned out OK, but the £30 entry fee was more than wed usually want to pay, especially for what you get for it. Drinks prices are also excessive, however, this is something you expect and can avoid quite easily by dosing up beforehand, or consuming other things to keep you going.

The idea of fabric is better than the reality. Main room is too small and the dance floor so overcrowded it’s unpleasant. As it’s such a commercial entity the crowd can also be a bit hit and miss, lots of guys there to just try pick up girls like it’s one of those cheesy west end venues, whereas the other half genuine clubbers trying to enjoy the music. The bar isn’t too overpriced (like it is at e1but the bar staff have no idea or no interest in making a proper drink. Last came here a few years ago and forgot how annoying it is. Been clubbing for many years at some of the great clubs but this isn’t one of them. Shame as they have some of the best dj’s playing there but I’d just wait for them to be playing somewhere else for a better night out. Pros - Didn’t have a problem with the security checks or sticker on my phone camera- all for that tbh. Sound system is good- Doesn’t hurt your ears.

£11 for a double rum and coke!! its all watered down and filled with ice!! idc anymore, it’s an absolute rip off; it was only til the second drink I could taste a hint of rum which confirmed just how blatant it was! For those prices someone needs to say something..

Bouncers just want to scrap with anyone smaller then them. Used to be amazing, too over rated now.My friends sticker fell off his phone and they basically man handled him to the exit, left him drunk outside. If we didnt see him, he wouldnt have got his belongings back from the cloak room. And he would have been separated from the group.

Beautiful venue that’s great to run around in! However, the vibe is utterly dead, it’s massively oversold, filled with 18 year olds and 60 year olds with little in between. Door staff are very decent and if you’re found with drugs they still let you in. Dance floor fully saturated with people just standing around vaping, rather than dancing. One to avoid.Utterly pointless sticker put on your phone camera that people remove instantly and they end up just littering the area!

I attended an event at Fabric on Thursday 29th September and I was groped in the crowd. I immediately fled the crowd and burst into tears. A couple of staff members came over to me to see if I was okay and I explained what happened. They took me to a room to ask me some questions and calm me down, and gave me some water.The staff were so so helpful and attentive to my situation. They couldn’t have been more helpful actually. Luke and George were amazing and looked after myself, my friend and sister for the rest of the night and made sure we felt safe.Even after we decided to leave, Luke advised George to walk us to an Uber to check we got there safely. I can’t thank them enough for prioritising my safety and actually taking me seriously. Because all too often, women aren’t taken seriously when these incidents happen.

If you have any experience and have expectations to enjoy a techno event, dont go, no matter who is playing. It is an overpriced prison. You get searched far worse than at the airport, theres staff everywhere watching you suspiciously even in the toilets. Events are oversold so you cant dance and even if you try to, every 5 minutes a staff member will come by with a flashlight to check up on you. They even put stickers on your phone like in Berlin, but you dont get to do any of the fun stuff so I really dont see the point. Superficial money grabbing prison experience.

The sound systems is top notch. Same as the DJs, great sets. Sadly the place was too crowded with only two rooms open.But what really is disturbing in all clubs so far in Britain and here of course is the obsession with fotos and videos, sometimes even with flashes. In Germany you would get expelled for that. It could be helpful to actually thin out the crowd prior entry.Pretty upsetting was the lightning. There was an excessive amount of white light. Never seen anything as such.If you want to go to fabric take mind that you can enjoy very good sets and sound system with lots of trade-off.

After hearing via word of mouth , nothing but positivity about Fabric, i attended with a few of my close university friends, and let’s just say they lived up to their reputation. On the way there I unfortunately experienced what can only be described as an “unfortunate accident” , during which I attained a painful and bloody injury on both my left elbow and right eyebrow. When I arrived at the acclaimed “Fabric” I was greeted an incredibly hospitable and friendly member of staff, who noticed my injuries and took me instantly to the medical room. I want to especially thank the medic Nemo, I had never met such a friendly member of staff at any night club, or in fact at any venue in general. After being patched up perfectly , I was kindly escorted into the club which after hours of dancing and socialising , undoubtedly led to Fabric being the funnest clubbing night I’ve ever had in London.I will definitely be coming back, special thank you to Nemo, get that man a raise!Thank you Fabric!

the music is good if you like rap/techno (would be nice if london clubs played indie music for once thoughand there’s a great sound system but some of the servers at the bar are rude, judgemental and incompetent, so do yourself a favour and drink beforehand to avoid their rudeness/having to wait 30 minutes just for one drink

Leaving a review to say that the back check staff tonight (Sunday 18th Septwere amazing - I had dropped my debit card somewhere inside and after telling cloakroom staff they were able to get it back for me in about 5 minutes. Have never had this happen so efficiently before, even at much smaller venues. You saved me a lot of hassle and its hugely appreciated. Big thanks to the staff and to the honest person who handed it in!

Great club,needs much stricter INDOOR security enforcement.Fabrics zero tolerance policy is not being enforced past the (usuallythorough door check. Big groups of people take drugs on the dancefloor together. Same thing for people smoking/filming/climbing on stage during live sets (18/09/2022 was particularly bad).Its a shame, but I will continue to support fabric and the artists who perform there, and thankfully the real fans in the crowd do a much better job by self-policing than security.

Beautiful club, great soundsystem. However, this place is often so overbooked that it completely ruins the experience. No space to dance anywhere and tonight I had to queue for 15 minutes just to go from room 1 to room 2 due to the sheer mass of people. Even the smokers area is just a crowded mess.Would pick a different venue solely due to this issue, and its a shame they have this awful ticket policy. Makes it clear that the whole thing just turned into one big money grab, not a single care for the ravers experience.

Very disappointed in this club. Bought a ticket to attend Sasha Live, as I was queueing I was given stickers by the security to put on my phone front and back camera and when I asked I was advised that this is venue policy.The clubbing industry has evolved and generations passed, by stopping people from taking videos and photos, you already killing the excitement. Everyone wants to share, tag and post stories. Please think and reflect. It almost feels like you want us to be hiding away or scared of telling anyone we are here. We love this club, it’s one of 2 left in town, don’t kill the moment.

I’m in the United States Air Force and I was wrongfully targeted by security and couldn’t even make it in the door. I was kicked out of the line because of what I was wearing and they didn’t even hear me out. This club is not military friendly. I definitely don’t recommend this club for anybody who is visiting London.

Wow, the vodka is so watered down, you have a sip of straight vodka & you don’t even flinch from the taste. I would guesstimate they add 30-40% water to their spirits. Stick to canned beer!

staff everywhere, people on the dance floor checking Instagram rather than moving. Some people should have rather gone to a pub than clubbing that night.At least no one was recording cause they sticker ur cam and the sets were decent

Go to this club if you want to wait 2 hours in a queue to enter the premises because they overbooked the venue so you cannot walk one cm in the rooms without being lathered in other peoples sweat. Absolute jokeSome could compare these inhumane conditions to a factory of caged hens, it was boiling and humid in the club and we did not want to spend anymore of our time in such an awful club.Save your money and choose somewhere different because like all the other reviews you will regret it, they only want money and will try to capitalise as much as they can from events.The promotional event is a lie, there was no “ Loads of free sh*t!Free Popcorn or Free Sweets”All i have to say is stay away from these money grabbing thieves, poor organisation & awful experience overall

This is probably the worst club experience ive seen so far, i feel so bad for cleric and O/V/R, one of the worst crowds you could ever see and dance with, everyone is just dancing recklessly without awareness , smashing against other people and ruining their time without respecting the space between each person. Crowd Screaming “oh oh oh oh” like its a freaking tech house lineup. Freaking horrible experience. Everyone is dancing off-beat. The energy is so uncomfortable and just yikes. Surely will be my last experience here. I feel so bad for the djs yikes.

Massive disappointment. After 20+ years of wanting to get to this place, I couldnt be more underwhelmed. Tiny main room, 2 DJs the entire night, unfriendly staff, mediocre bar, absolutely nothing else in the area... I get that some people love this place, and have fought to keep it open, but the reality is that this is a rightfully forgotten relic of the London club scene.

Ive been to fabric on a friday night to see a DJ that I like. Unfortunately, they decided to keep the main dancefloor closed during the whole night, no explanations. The two other dancefloors were to small, so the place was packed, and people were really disrespectful, bumping on everyone. It was really unpleasant. I cant understand how a big club like this one closes its main dancefloor on a friday night. I wont be coming back.

Personal experience- didnt enjoy the techno music here as beats were repetitive and beat drops were anti climatic. Nobody was vibing hard to the music. There were 2 rooms playing almost similar music, would be better to offer some variety. Honestly cloakroom music had better music vibes

Went to see Joris Voorn 2 weeks back and had a great time, Khalid out front working security made sure we got in safely and on the way out checked on us to see if we had a good night! All the staff we spoke to were really friendly and helpful.Sound system was great, maybe worth taking earplugs though.++ points for the water stand (they also refill water bottles)Not for the faint hearted

Small dancefloors, security is a joke they will do everything to be annoying and ruin your time. If you feel unwell or abused by random crowd do not expect any help from people working there. One star for water bar and plenty of different spaces you can have a chat or sit and relax what is not that common in London clubs. Overall is full of students, tourists and new Londoners. Poor ventilation and lack of space on the dancefloor is preventing you from dancing as theres no space to dance. People just standing and pushing each other. Many people leave after few hours as fabric will give you really unpleasant experience.

The club itself is average at best, but they host some of the world’s best techno DJs. The security check is too thorough and intrusive... even more thorough than airport security, something that I’ll never understand about clubs in this city.

Worst club i’ve ever been . Security checks are just insane they were touching my intimate parts madly and also they asked everyone in the club to put a sticker on their cameras to not film which is inappropriate.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLUB

⚠️ This place is for the Pros⚠️My friend took me to this legendary establishment for my birthday. As a visitor to London from North America and a veteran of the underground I was both excited and skeptical.Fabric is essentially a metaphor for a police state. You can have fun, but within the confines of the rules mandated by the authorities. The four star rating is highly influenced by the quality of the music and the novelty of the experience. Do NOT go there unless you are seriously committed.All in all this experience was a mixed bag of positives and negatives, here are my takeaways:- Reviews that warn you about queuing are NOT exaggerating! If you plan to enter Fabric you will queue, unless you are on the very limited guest list- Senior management are top notch: the managers that run the show, both outside and inside the venue are absolute pros. They are friendly, accommodating, and hospitable. They run a tight ship without a hitch.- Everything that you heard about security is legit: I have traveled the world, partied and clubbed in all sorts of counties, including autocratic ones. Let me just say, never have I ever been searched, frisked, and essentially shaken down like I was entering Fabric. If you are a connoisseur of illicit/designer drugs, you have to be a die hard pro to get in with them. Now, even if you do, security inside the venue makes it practically impossible to engage in such activities.- Phones cameras and vaping are banned, but in reality they are frowned upon. The staff vapes, so does everyone else. Taking pictures and videos is frowned upon, and the strictness varies from one room to the other.- The music is top notch. Nothing to say here except that I would give it ten stars.- The bar tenders are generally terrible, with the exception of one or two staffers.- Conclusion: it is absolutely worth the visit, even if just once.

I never wrote a negative review before but this was unfortunately and awful experience.Floor one was closed (without any announcementand floor 2 and 3 played the exact same kind of niche fast techno bounce at the same time. Why have multiple floors if you play the same type of extremely niche music - especially if it is something that does not resonate even with people who usually love edm/techno. Waited forever for a change of DJ which did not happen. The entire group was super let down. Wasted a lot of time and money and it ruined the night. Security is very thorough though, which I appreciate.

security to get in is worse than stanstead airport, however once inside it seems like every guy goes back to their primeval instincts (and security does nothing about this). Music was good but because of the line-up

Went here a week ago with a friend. I was originally a bit worried about there being a dress-code, but as long as you are not wearing sportswear, youre fine.Drinks are on the expensive-side, but who really blames them? This is one of the best clubs in London. Three dance-halls with numerous different bars to order your drinks. Theres also a chill-lounge above with a view on one of the dance halls. Very, very impressed!

The club is very big and also very well organized. The controls are enforced harder than at the airport but this, as the history of the club proves, has an unpleasant reason.The music system on mainfloor was great with, yes, absolutely noticeable basses.The drink prices are okay, a bit too expensive, but overall okay.Many of the people who were there are obviously not fans of electronic music. To get to know new people and to find lovely girls also the right place.The entrance fee of 25 pounds was maybe a bit much but it was a great night.

Loud, really cool that its in am old brick warehouse... and the sound stays contained. The Fri we went was a little too heavy drum and bass for our liking but cool venue serious screening checks, recommend tickets ahead ...
