The London Reign - Nightclub in Gimbi, Ethiopia
The London Reign in Gimbi
Description
Terrible club, turned up with 3 friends we were on the guest list but were told we needed to pay. Mostly order men in the club. My friend and I were groped on our way out the club and security watched me yelling at the guy on his way out only to ask me what just happened and the guy had already left. They do not treat people of colour the same way they treat other customers. There’s barely enough waiters on tables and when you try serve urself at ur own table they start yelling. I’m not used to wearing heels often so I took a little break and sat down, I was asked if I was okay a few times and responded all times letting them know I’m okay and just needed a break cause I’m in heels and they had security come force me to go outside for “some fresh air” there were plenty of people that looked drunk but weren’t treated like I was and it’s just not okay.
MoreI’ve been to pretty much all the VIP clubs in London and Reign has to be my favourite. The staff are awesome and all seem to remember me which is nice touch. When it’s busy it feels like a something straight out of a movie.
MoreRacist club ,if you want to enjoy your night and london club dont go there.The bouncers there think that they are the owner ,go elsewhere ,only white are admitted
MoreVery much a racist club. FYI let me give this club a reality check. You are not special, Tape London is a much more exclusive and popular club. This club is on its last legs, I won’t be surprised if it’s forced to shut its door forever in the next two years. Disrespectful and racist female bouncer who was rude to my cousin. I was approached on Instagram and asked to attend the club, let’s not get it twisted. Useless promoter saying “Oh its door’s discretion” but the bouncers said “Promoters table was too full so ask your promoter to come upstairs…” Two very different stories told by the door staff and bouncers as to why we can’t come in. I’ve told my friends who also booked with the same promoter to attend the club at the end of month with a few guests including myself. Don’t worry we won’t be coming anymore.
MoreTrash all the way. The staff is hella racist. Music is very mid and I don’t know what the bartenders are doing but the drinks ain’t it. Would 100% not recommend.
MoreClub is very dirty not worth it I don’t know why it’s still open
If you wash your legs when you shower, DONT go here it’s not accommodating at all.
MoreTraumatising experience , The club is absolutely racist. I don’t understand how Clubs like this are still open. I wouldn’t recommend this for any one of Colour. Disgusting racist club 🤢🤮
MoreA club that turns away black people, is probably a club u dont want to be at. Terrible experience.
MoreThe low-rent tackiness and 1980s Little Chef cuisine almost distract from the fact that the staff are barely literate bigots.
MoreSecurity was a little bit rude at first but overall my friends and i we enjoyed ourselves very much. we did found new friend (don’t know who | busy party forgot to ask or I asked but i’m drunk 🥹 but i’m grateful 😇)
MoreRacist !My daughter was on guest list turned up and said sorry club full!But we’re letting in white girls!!Well sorry Reign your loss!She will be telling her friends about the terrible behaviour from bouncers and talk EU girls who thinks working on a DOOR of a nite club is something to be powerful about
MoreAmazing club , staff very professional and lots of entertainment throughout the nightReally good experience
MoreWow - what a night. The show was amazing - cant wait to come back. One of the most special venues Ive been too and the service was amazing. If you can - try and make it to the mezze
MoreAwesome night! Performers, confetti drop and C02 cannons made me feel like being back in Vegas!
MoreAbsolutely the worst place. Who was the female control tonight? Did you pick her up from the street? Get the right person who knows his stuff. Will never return and will never recommend this to anyone.
MoreNot a bad club just wish I would of went else where. No space to dance people constantly walking around which made it so annoying. The layout of the dance floor is so dumb people walking through every 3 seconds. Music was ok, Dj played oasis, drum and base and Afro beats was so random. Also why are people saying the club is racist… 90% of the club was POC.
MoreGreat club! Been many times always a great night!
1 star is an over statement. The place is a disgrace. Come if you like paying too much for nothing. Boring music and boring people inside
MoreHad a confrontation and was told no because we were Indian men. I call and told them that before we came. Racist place. Don’t there if your Asian men, they don’t want are money.
MoreAbsolutely terrible, attended one New Year’s Eve hoping to have a great night but due to difficulty with my friend being unable to wear heels we were escorted out just as the new year countdown began and then we’re let back in afterwards. Intolerant of any dancing or trying to have a good time, the staff were very rude throughout. Very overpriced and not worth the money - terrible night out
MoreWent there with a group of 8 on a Tuesday night. Got to the door and were told we could only go in if we got a table for £1000. By the time we deliberated the lady at the door had gone. Must be a reason you guys have a 2.7 rating on Google. For people visiting and looking to experience london you guys have terrible and greedy customer service. Such a shame. Remember you are in the business of being hospitable and loving what you do. As people that work in the profession you should head to our bars and see how customer service is done.
MoreIf you’re any ethnicity other than white, don’t bother. Rude and condescending woman on door acts like she’s guarding the chamber of secrets & you won’t get in if you’re mixed or black, even if you’re on the guestlist. Let girls in with jeans, t-shirts and fabric tote bags, who were (you guessed it!white and blonde. But people of colour ‘ruin their image’. She literally didn’t even pretend to look at the list before saying ‘you’re not on it’ and removing us from queue. Promoters will then block you, after you made your way there.It’s 2022, get with the programme.
MoreI had amazing experience, this place is best club in Mayfair, staff was very friendly and professional, will defo go again soon!!!
MoreOne of the worst clubs Ive ever been. Its more of a theatre than a club. In fact you dont really have space to dance. Go there if you want to burn your money.
MoreDISGUSTING! It was my birthday and I brought my younger brother along (who is 19!!!and they said he wasn’t allowed in even tough we agreed he was allowed in (I spoke to a promoterwhen I got there I started crying because my brother wasn’t allowed in and was saying he would go home, the bouncer started saying ‘don’t you dare make me feel bad by you crying, don’t cry and try and get attention, why are you crying are you trying to make me feel bad? Don’t cry and try and manipulate me etc! It was disgusting!!!!! He made me feel bad for crying because they wouldn’t let my brother in when they said they would!!! He traveled all the way for my birthday of course I’m going to be upset!
MoreSo, its a age thing. Over 50 a no. Not unless one is a rich gent. High heels , well so what if one has had a bone fusion and cannot possibly wear high heels. After checking the heal , situation. Leaving us freezing in cocktail dresses. We were not allowed in. We had had our hair done, tans, new clothes. Paid for a hotel. Travel. Do you know what, Im better than this set up. Plus who the hell is anyone to tell a 2022 woman to dress to please! Stuff the club . God only knows their policy on disability, what a diamond studded wheelchair.
MoreOne of my favourite exclusive clubs in London! I always have a good time when going. If you have never been I would definitely suggest coming early and dress properly in order to get in.
MoreFantastic experience! We had a table booked as a group of 5. The service was fantastic, from the door staff to the people serving drinks. Everyone was friendly and helpful.I can only speak for myself, but I saw no sign of the issues I had read on other reviews.It was a great experience and we were treated so well by all staff from start to finish
More0/54 of us on the guest list, (had to be confirmed with full names and pictures..? Already a red flag3 girls proper dressed up and 1 guy looking smart (as told to by the promoter).Got there at 11 on a Tuesday (the time the promoter saidto just be told to get out of the queue and wait on the street for someone to vouch for us.When the promoter we knew tried to vouch the security and woman on the door still didn’t let us in.I doubt that unless the promoter can prove you’re a big deal and have billions of pounds they’d change their minds.Turns out if you get moved out of the queue you’re just never getting in because you don’t look the part (all the other people told the same ended up not getting in too). Apparently they took offence to the fact we were wearing coats, yknow outside in winter… And the fact we had a guy in our group (which is discriminatory).The woman on the door was so rude and on a total power trip.They make you ‘wait’ on the street to look like it’s busy instead of just turning you away straight away.Wish I’d read the reviews before bothering.Stay away
MoreAbsolutely Shambolic. Spent a lot of money on New Years eve for a table, and they did not even take our coats. My coat was absolutely filthy with people spilling their drinks all over it. Also, there were 6 of us on a table for 3. We had a corner booth, but were told we had to move to a tiny table as a big group had entered. They completely took over with loads of thirsty girls who tried to sit on our seats which caused tension. Worse thing is this big group were there for only around 2 hours and hardly bought any bottles. They only did 1 small round. Shame on the club for being fooled, and for turning their VIP in to a cess pit for people that hardly spent anything. Will never return.
MoreWe had ordered only 3 tequila shots at a bar and they charged us £46!! If it was £15 per shot, it should have been £45 in total(still way too overpriced). When we complained this to the bartender, he was just laughing at us. The worst club Ive ever been to in my whole life time.
MoreDO NOT GO HERE!!!!! this place is horrible and I don’t even understand why it is still open. The people there are awful. I was in a group of 6 and all the girls the blond hair and blue eyes they let in which was half of us, the rest of us was turn down for no reason! They made us wait 3 hours in the freezing cold. I’ve never felt so un-welcomed before in my life. They only care about rich people that flaunt money. They are so racist and only want white girls. Being an Asian I got stared down on by all the worker and felt awful for the way I look. I would NEVER EVER recommend this place to anyone!!!!
MoreRacist trash club. It’s 2022 and black people are still being denied entry, IMAGINE. Disgusting!!!!!!Black women are beautiful and worthy of respect and a good time. If you can’t see that, then you’re a waste of human life!
MoreINCREDIBLY RACIST PLACE. This place needs to get shut down. It should be illegal what they do there! Not only are they racist but they only let PRETTY white people go there! Worst most hurtful night of my life !!!
MoreWent there a while ago with my friend who is black. They let me in but kicked my friend out when he did nothing wrong. But then let bunch of white men in who were causing problems, harassing women, starting fights and being rude to the staff. The staff did nothing about it. The staff were racist and horrible. Most racist club in london. DON’T GO especially if you’re black. They want to steal your culture and style but won’t let you in.
MoreIf you aren’t white and blonde, don’t bother going there. Their manager is a total creep, he kicks black people out and he hits on white women and touches them inappropriately. The women were scared but didn’t want to anger him so they let him continue it. The security guard was intimidating them and was like keep your mouth shut and don’t tell anyone about it.
MoreI used to work at London Reign, and I must say that I have never experienced racism from any managers, including Mr David Diez. All of the members of staff, including the security, are professional. Most of the reviews may be coming from self-entitled people who would usually turn up around 3:00 in the morning when the club is about to shut. They should raise their issues with the management before posting biased reviews on the internet.
MoreIt’s a joke!I didn’t believe all bad reviews until actually experienced it myself! Inquired about the table booking through their website. Got a reply from Ali (Aparently the promoterwho asked for the details such as: age, how many girls, how many boys, asked for our pictures too!!!!! Who does that? Never had a club asking for your photo when booking table 😂ok sent it all. We been asked to come at 10:40(club opens 11pm). Came, stood at the que with other 10 girls or so. We have been promised table at promoters, complimentary drinks etc etc. when we finally got to the door, security woman asked my friend “how many of you”? She said 2. She opened the gate, said go there ( outside of the queand few others were sent there. We stood there for about 10 min and didn’t understand what’s going on untill one of the promoters told that we are not getting in! Security woman does the face control (we always get in everywhere, we not bad looking girls!and Aparently we didnt pass it 😂 we were too old or maybe dressed too much. So went to Tiger Tiger and had a blast night!!Would never go anywhere near clubs like this! Its for fake people!They think they gods, especially big fat security man! So rude!You wont last long doing business like this.
MoreClose this place down. Worst place I have ever been in my life. They treat women like garbage. I dont know how a place like this exists. They fill in the place with girls, treat them really badly, and allow very few men in. Most likely these man pay a lot of money so they are treated well. I am sure the good reviews here come from men.Women: do not go there! Terrible.
MoreThis place is a complete mess. Worst experience ever smh. Small, not big enough at all and rude staff... they need to be fired or get some training about basic manners tho... but it tells a lot about the management behind them. Would never recommend this place to anyone. And don’t be a fool to book a table for thousands of pond. This club is a joke...
MoreRudest bouncers who seem to be getting off on their irrelevant little pseudo "power"People inside the club seem to be acting like they are too good to talk to anyone with rare exceptions. Maybe the guys got rejected so badly that they started "rejecting" the girls in advance lol. Got alcohol spilled on me 10 times people just standing there trying to look cool not actually having fun or dancing. The fake bottle service with girls chanting doesnt bring the vibe for some reason. In my 8 yrs in London it feels the worst clubbing experience
MoreDo not come here. We booked a table which was thousands of pounds. We arrive to a queue round the whole of picadilly and we are told to join the back of it. The queue doesnt move for an hour and when I finally get hold of a member of staff - he openly admitted that they TRIPLE BOOK there tables and that they were all gone hours ago. He was also extremely rude and condescending. We were all standing there just in case some one left. Absolute joke, how are you triple booking and leading us to believe we will get in ? If your paying a premium price you should be treated as such.
MoreHonestly the worst experience. Stood in the queue for an hour only to get to the front and be told to form another queue on the other side of the entrance. Stood there for half an hour to then be told by another security guard that this extra queue meant nothing and we had actually been bounced at the door.Felt like this was such a power play. Didnt even get inside, but will never be back.
MoreHonestly a huge no i used to go here a lot 3 years ago I decided to go back today. I had a flask with me, which understandably got taken away by the security for the time I’m inside, unfortunately they drunk what was inside which is completely unacceptable. Music was trash as they played pure techno, however was assured it would change, it didn’t. It’s a cheap quality club that fits into the category of tiger tiger, very far from high end and “elegant” as they call it.Overcrowded, million promoters in with bunch of girls that don’t know how to behave and dress. If it would be shoreditch i would rate it a 5 and if you’re into that vibe you’ll love it, but honey it’s mayfair so it’s a -5 for me.
MoreRihanna who works here is a star and was very helpful, as well as another female security guard who I didn’t catch the name of. The other staff working the doors were rude, kicked our group out when we were told we’d be allowed back in from the smoking area and refused to listen to us when we tried to speak calmly. The club itself was pretty good but it’s a shame the evening was cut short and finished on a sour note
MoreI had the worst experience here. When I was standing outside talking to my friend, the bouncer kicked us out from the smoking area. When we queued back to get back i to the club, they said we are putting on an attitude (what?). When we tried to speak to the manager about this, he accused us of not speaking the truth. They snatched our ticket off our hand to get the coats and basically told us to sod off. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have lived in London for 14 years, and this is the worst I have seen.
MoreI was slightly concerned about coming to this club after the reviews I read, but I can assure you it was hands down one of the best night clubs I have ever been to!We purchased a table on the uppermost floor so we had a amazing view of all the acrobats and performers. We was looked after from start to finish. Service and waiters were impeccable, The DJ played all the right music and had everyone dancing.I would recommend spending more money to buy a table as the queues to enter normally was huge and you won’t have the same experience.I got zero bad vibes from the bouncers or from the people working there; they all seemed very friendly and we’re just doing their jobs trying to manage really drunk people.Honestly don’t worry, just buy a table and enjoy the experience, it’s worth it!
MoreThe staff were mostly polite.Inside the club, its nothing you havent seen before, but done way worse.The dance-floor is not conducive to an optimal night out, being overcrowded and not making the best use of the venues floor-space.The toilet are staff (Winstonare lovely, and the upstairs mezzanine is nice but I cannot help but feel that unless you are up there, you will not be enjoying the club to its fullest.The chef on the mezzanine is a nice touch, but it is not enough to make this a good night out. It is just a poor mans Cirque or Box.Staff in the venue proved to be mostly rude, and the DJ the was playing the same songs as every west-end nightclub.Would avoid, there are definitely better places around Mayfair to spend your nights.
MoreReally good club - great music and table service. Had the best night for my 23rd birthday. I had 13 girls and 4 boys on my table and had no problems getting into the club.However, they overcharged me by £500 with the hidden service charge and additional £20pp on the table which I was unaware of. The experience was great but disappointed by hidden charges.
