3-5 Mill St, Mayfair, London W1S 2AU, Gimbi
Chic members' nightclub with stylish minimalist interior, Italian restaurant and celebrity crowd.
We were told we were in guest list and when we got there we weren’t let in. Made us lost our time and were very rude about it. Bad experience overall
Very rude staff, bouncers are the worst I have seen in any club. SCAMMERS, be aware! Our bottle service guy demanded us to pay 500.- ontop of our bill including service charge which had already been part of the bill. At first he tried playing it off as if we hadnt paid the full part, but as we all showed our payment receipts he changes up the story, telling us how bad customers we are for not giving him a tip!?!
Classic London club that has been opened for decades and you know what to expect. Very friendly staff at the bar. Better come before 12 to get in. Be properly dressed up.
This club violated me in all ways possible, one man came up to me and offered to put a carrot up my 😺
The worst experience in a club ever. The bouncers were incredibly rude and disrespectful and clearly did not know what was going on. We were under the impression that we were on the guest list according to a promoter, only to find out this so called promoter had not been there at all. The bouncers let us in regardless (before we were aware of the promoter not being therewhich led us to pay for entry only to leave within the first half an hour of being there due to the unorganized staff and uncomfortable atmosphere.
Bad doesnt even describe this “club”. Once we got there we were moved around 4 different times, no one was being clear and we were getting mixed messages. We were told that our promoter was inside and he would come out to get us however he never did but they let us in anyways. The bouncers were very rude. We payed £20 to get in and when we got in we asked around to see where the promoter was however no one knew. Awkwardly sitting upstairs without our table, we decided to leave as it seemed at this point we were being lied to. On our way out we asked the bouncers if he was actually inside and they told us he was on holiday. They rudely asked us to get out. Even if the promoter was there, the club was not good anyways. Dont waste your time or money.
I had a situation here that really unacceptable.I live in London for about a month, and I went here for the first time. My friend took a cigarette and started to smoke inside.I thought, that in this place we can smoke, because there was NO SIGNS, how would I know. I took his cigarette for a moment, the guard saw me, came across very close, and started to be really aggressive, complaining that I cannot smoke here. I said I didn’t know because you have no signs. Then he called the other guards, 5 people were standing in front of me, they took my arms really strong, and started to walk me out, I screamed that they are hurting me, but they didn’t stop, they walked me outside and threatened me.I have a brush now on my arm, and I cannot believing that 5 people was taking out 21 years old girl, instead of giving me some time to understand everything and manage this situation in normal way.BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PLACE.
They didn’t let me friend in because he was black!
Racist, so blatantly racist. If you’re a person of color do not go there!
I never see in my life sometimes like this place.Ciro really rude.We waste money and time with this rude people.
We were a group of 6 people all white and one person of colour. As we made our way in the bouncer let everyone in and then pulled the velvet rope blocking the one person of colour (who works in fashion and was extremely well dressed). This sort of racist behaviour is unacceptable in 2022. When the other white people told the bouncer he was with us the bouncer let them in. How ridiculous and disgusting! Dont spend your money on racist establishments.
From the moment my friend and I arrived at the door, we had to be checked out to see if we were good-looking enough to get in, we then get in and order some champagne and cocktails, and an hour into the evening 1 drink started to cost £40! Because of the strikes, it was basically the last resort to stay there and try to have a good time. The managers of the club were also very odd and uncomfortable, at 1 point I was been given free double vodkas from the bartender when I asked for water, the whole experience was really strange and uncomfortable and just because its a club in the heart of London it doesnt mean it was good. I would never recommend this place under no circumstances, I wish my friend and I stayed in and got a takeaway because Maddox is a very strange place with an off vibe.NEVER AGAIN
Racist bouncers didn’t let my black friend into the club and told him he was “dressed for the gym” I’ve never seen such blatant racism in a London club
The security was very rude. They basically kicked me out of club after I went to toilet. They do not treat people nice. I would not recommend anyone going through this. I appreciate this is members club’s but they should still treat people right.
The club is ok with two small rooms and a smoking area.To make sure you get in, You have to dress good and it’s best if you know a promoter. They literally look at you from head to toe before letting you in.
Waited in line for 40 minutes, in the meantime the bouncers were letting in 2-4 people at a time infront of us because they were influencers/friends with the manager/etc.Suddenly at about 11pm the bouncers closed the entrance while pushing us to go out on the street.When asked why they were doing this they would occasionally shout not my decision, move out of the line! while avoiding eye contact.They didnt seem to have much control over the situation at all.
I give 1 star because 0 is not possible, the girls at the front door are so frustrated ,they have bad manners for everyone unless you are Boris Johnson , if they were queuing I am sure they could not go into the maddox because of their bad behave and also their look and outfits . I dont see how this can be a quality club if they dont know what is education, I left after 1 hour. Its about customer care, not about something else. But everyone says this here, so I guess you are just a well know bad club.
The manager is creepy white guy ginger/blonde hair, mid 30s. Never return he tries to take home 19yr old drunk girls
alex rihahi arranged our night and made us feellike we had died and gone to nightclub heaven. thanks to all the servers and especially the DJ in the green room.
I was so excited to come here after a great night out in Soho. NOT happy. We were turned away, and I got the feeling it was because some of the people in our group were of color. So disappointing. All the way here from the other side of the world and this is the only place in the UK that put a bad taste in my mouth. I could understand if we were wasted or something, but no, just plain old fashion Racism. If I could give it zero stars I would.
Went there to celebrate the 40 years anniversary of a good friend of mine.Got one of their private rooms and I tried to ask the Dj something and he aggressively pushed me away.Not going to step foot in there,ever.
One of the worst clubs in London! You can’t deny someone to enter because they’re overdressed! They’re very discriminatory to everybody upon their looks.Absolutely not recommended
The Bouncer refused entry to another person for wearing heals, referring to him as that thing. SHOCKED and DISGUSTED by the behaviour shown by their staff. When he voiced how he had been treated on instagram they followed up with blocking him on social media.
Similar experience, we were told we were on the guest list. 2 black guys and our girlfriends who happen to be white but were suddenly not allowed in as the club was full. Never again.
Racism experienced by my 18 year old daughter and her friend (both blackat this club on Thursday 10th February when they came to celebrate their friend’s 18th birthday party.They were told they will be on a guest list. When all arrived together, their white friends were allowed in but my daughter and her friend were not allowed in and when they asked why, they were both told that the guest list is full and asked to leave the vicinity. Subsequently, their other white friends who came after them were also allowed in! How is it that their friend who came after them were able to get in when my daughter and her friend were told that the guest list is full? Racism in 2022 #BLM.#Stop racism .# Equality for allBridget
I absolutely love this place!Members clubBottle serviceTables onlyStrict door policy.Early arrival advised and makes sure youve booked yourself table or guestlist for girls.
First time at Maddox and also the last!!! I dropped my coat in the cloakroom with a broken bracelet of mine in the pocket. After an horrible night with rude staff and customers (likes attract likes, I suppose), I decided to go back home and pick up my coat. I instantly realised that the bracelet (plated goldwas missing and I asked the person at the cloakroom. Her very weird response was "there was nothing there" ...Well, how do you know, I asked. She blushed and decided to ignore my request. It is a plated gold bracelet so it is ok. However, I decided to start reading the reviews to see if anyone else had the same experience. And there we are, 5 different experiences of the kind... MADDOX, time for CCT in the cloakroom and change of staff, what about that....
I had the best time with Oscar! He is the best! Super kind, energetic and lovely host! My favourite in Mayfair!! Please go meet him and this cool place!
Food unpalatable. Crowd completely plastered and therefore nasty, grim and gauche.But more importantly, beware of the clock room and DO NOT LEAVE items in your pocket or bag, they may disappear….
Had such an amazing time here, compared to other clubs I’ve been too , this is the most safest and full of decent human beings. Staff are lovely , and take extra care of the the place. Can’t wait to go back the music was the best!
Got very sketchy vibes from this place. There are a ton of girls just being made to sit at mens tables to make them look good. Music was terrible and there is no dance floor its a very small venue. Its not really a club more of a exclusive bar. Do not waste your time and money in this awful place there are way better clubs in Soho.
Where do I start. Firstly, thank you so much Adam for taking such good care of all my guests! I was really worried about going to this club as read some of the reviews before making a booking. I am so glad I didn’t listen to them! I went on a Friday night with a group of 9 people every single one of us had the best time. I should add that the group was of mixed background, I myself am black and felt very welcomed. Will definitely be going back again.
AVOIDThey will try to scam you if they see that you have money it’s very disrespectful they have no classGlasses are dirty it’s very unhygienic the drinks are also very cheap and the floors are stickyHowever the major issue is they seem to have a problem with people with colour the bouncers are disrespectful the manager is a predator if things don’t go his way they will not let you in the next timeThis is not the kind of place to bring your male friends they’ll rinse your pocket out and then throw you out.Go Classy or go home ladies & gentlemen ❤️
We were out for dinner a couple of weeks ago at Pucci and after a few glasses we decided everyone fancied a bit of a dance after so we ended up at the club. None of us had been there before so werent sure what to expect but what a blast we had! This place is definitely a cut above the rest. The music and DJs were so amazing we danced all the way until the end. The cocktails were absolutely gorgeous and reasonably priced, we had so much fun and even spotted a couple of celebs. If you ever come to party in London, I would highly recommend.
I have been going to Maddox club for over a decade - It is by far the best club in London! Their new restaurant Pucci located above the club offers amazing food and a fun atmosphere. I celebrated my birthday there recently and everyone had the best time.
Absolutely horrific place. Bouncers are rude. Drinks are nothing special yet overpriced. It was so packed yet they kept taking people in. There was even no space to stand let alone dance. Music is tasteless, they played R&B all night. Not going back.
Me and my friends had a great time at Maddox. Definitely coming back! Club has different areas, among them the smoking open area and the grren room. Quite cool! We were hosted by Oscar, whom I highly recommend to contact. Cool and serious guy for the fun!
Absolutely awful! We visited for my friends birthday, brought a £800 table, what a waste of money. Doormen/women outside the club were rude and didn’t let one of my friends in. In particular a woman who said my friend was horrible and didn’t want to let her in based on personal opinion. She did not serve any purpose to the situation and constantly stalked her in the club. In addition to this, told us to shut up when we were all wishing my friend a happy birthday. I don’t understand why the doormen think they’re running a military operation, honestly the most falsely pretentious club I’ve ever been to, what a joke! 0 stars! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE and get rid that awful woman.
Had the best night here! My friend and I were supposed to meet a promoter (who never showed up!and one of the barmen saw us waiting and took my friend and i inside and made us comfortable as we waited, absolutely exceptional service and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to have a wonderful night out. I’d recommend getting a table because the tables are mixed in with the dance floor so it gives you a nice designated area to dance etc. Bottom line, unparalleled service in a suitably luxurious setting (id recommend the smoking area, it’s gorge!)
Awful place , rude flirty bouncers .Drinks overpriced.. entry £20 & each drink is £25 . Bouncers kept flirting with me . Too crowded and music was awful . Full of arrogant crowd . No space to stand and people are standing at the seats and sofas without shoes & everyone smoking cigarettes in the dance floor next to the bouncers and they are allowed because they tip them 😳😳😳Everyone pushing & stepping on me .Even staff are rude pushing you away going to tables and they wouldn’t apologize.I wanted to leave as soon as I went there .AVOID AVOID AVOID. Wouldnt even give it a star.. the worst stuck up people there . No body is friendly & there is a gang hanging outside robbing people there so ladies be careful.And there is people going around taking people to after party & robbing them .Be careful my friend got robbed by those girls whom took him home when he was drunk !!!
Got there at 1. Was told my mate and I were too drunk (3 drinks for the entire eveningyet the girls we are with who stumbled in were fine. Then the “member” who showed after us who puked on the ground in front of the club was let in. Really bias. Even offered to pay a cover charge and was threatened with constables. Just not a good experience Overall. Maybe try earlier or membership is key Here. But not a spur of the moment club by any means.
Horrible place. Way to expensive for what you get, would never recommend anyone to go there. The people are cheap and arrogant. The service is bad, waiters push you when walking bad, the waitress at the bar was checking her phone instead of serving people... They made us pay a fortune for drinks which we didnt even drink and were still on the table, UNOPENED!!! Then after paying a fortune they still made us pay £2 per item in the cloakroom after taking our jackets without mentioning anything about the charge per item. All in all a bad experience. There are so many better places in Mayfair, will never go back again.
Last night we put 6 ladies onto a guest list, we explained on the booking who was in the group. We were told by the staff taking booking to not bother arriving before 11.we arrived at 11.10. We were well dressed, not drunk, all middle eastern ladies. We were pulled out of the queue and told no guest list anymore by a rude and abrupt lady on the door. They were clearly still letting people in. We did not understand the real reason for it. But reading other reviews it is possible that indeed they are racist club. My group had travelled all the way into central London especially and could not at that time get in anywhere else so came home. This experience completely spoilt a visit by friends over from Sweden. Clearly the management have no regard for their customers and the only reason that comes to mind is indeed they did not want a group of middle eastern ladies in the club. It does suggest they are Racist be warned if you fit the profile they do not want.
This has got to be the worst club in London, how are people prepared to go here when there are so many clubs in London that are miles ahead in quality of service, music and a better venue.The biggest problem with this place though is that theyre scam artists plain and simple. If they think youre drunk theyll try to overcharge by at least 30%. And then when I told them I wasnt going to tip them because Id been overcharged in the first place one of the staff members told me not to come back.The food was atrocious, as in nothing was organic and the only fresh food I got was the salad, the desert was like something out of Iceland supermarkets. Online they say you get to drink from a selection of wines what they actually mean is you get one drink from a selection of wines.The staff are rude and incompetent, Im not sure if its to do with management not paying enough to have the right workforce to do a proper job of running a club. The guys working there at the moment are all over place yet dont actually get orders done, The dancefloor is like 2 metres by 2 metres and the rest of the club is just seating area. There is literally no where to dance and its rammed. I dont understand why people would rather go to Maddox and get ripped than to go to a good club with good music a good atmosphere and friendly staff.Im not sure about you but when I write reviews I generally do so to complain so the good reviews you see I promise some of them are from people working there or their friends and so on.Youve been warned and I wont ever be going there again because there are so many better options and Im not having my night wasted with rubbish music, small area rammed with people (obviously management think its more important for them to make money than for clubbers to have some space to dance. Oh and one more thing, my mates reckon there are a lot of prozies in the club.Conclusion: Absolute dump,
We got in straight away and that was probably the highlight of our groups night. As soon as we did the girl designated to show us to our two tables was quite rude and not welcoming at all. Throughout the music was horrendous and the VIP area was severely overcrowded. The waiters kept pushing members of our of the way. It got so crowded the the table next to our started pushing us back. The music was truly atrocious. Furthermore, we agreed a price beforehand and when the bill came the price was substantially higher than we were promised. After hearing so many great things about this club I wasseverely disappointed and would not recommend that anybody goes there. Ever.
Overrated, overpriced, let down to London clubbing life. I had booked to be on a guest list and we arrived on time. However, after queueing in the guest list queue for over an hour at three quarters we probably moved only 3 meters. The bouncer comes over and tells 2 girls behind us that they can miss the queue and get straight in. This was a massive disappointment as the staff were biased. Moreover, after another forty minutes of queuing we went in, staff were very rude, ignoring individuals and just looking after people with tables rather than also serving people at a bar. All in all, having been to many night clubs in London such as Bodos, Boujis, Cirque du soir etc. I was extremely let down by Maddox and would not recommend it to any sane person.
What I love about this club is the great mix of house/ dance and hip-hop they play, which adds up for the enjoyable atmosphere and post crowd! It is not coincidence that this is one of the most renowned members clubs in London. Yes, it is not easy to be admitted and you must look in your best or no entrance is being granted, but at the end, is not it all that exclusivity is all about?!
One of the guys I had a crush on and who loves being in exclusive and fancy clubs, finally invites me here for a party, he was part of in the VIP!! I guess, partially because of that, I had the best party ever in London! The clientele was really stylish and of good quality and I am highly recommend it!
I don’t know how to describe my experience in Maddox, as if you are not on the guest list, like I was not, the first time I went and go after 11 pm, you may need to wait on the line, which personally annoys me a lot! The club is very crowded on the Saturdays and dancing on the aisles, between the tables, is also another thing that may be not that pleasant if you are not with a big group of friends and just get smashed and do not care about the rest! I love the music though..so I am definitely going to visit it again, real soon and see what happens this time.
I have been to clubbing all around the UK, but worst experience was with Maddox Club London. As we reached early so asked by bouncer to came back 11PM and need to stand in the queue. I was on the guest list and waited for more than half and an hour in the queue as we were two male friends so in the end not allowed to enter. Its not because we were not allowed to enter, but the lady was extremely rude on the door. Just because we havent got the bloody membership so they have no right to insult other people. My point is that why at the first place they put us on the guest list, and even the bouncer didnt inform us that male without women are not allowed to enter as we were clearly made aware of our situation.
