Blackstone Street Warehouse 10 Blackstone Street, Liverpool L5 9TY

"Security on such a power trip, asked for ID 5 times in a row which seems excessive and unproductive, especially when I managed to get inside without my bag even being searched. Weird man claiming to be the owner asking to see people’s bank statements and then raising his voice when we walked away, gave the vibe that if you answered back you’d be kicked out (especially as girls). Security needs sorting out if they can’t figure out what a real driving license looks like, especially when people are paying £10 a drink inside."

"Security were well too aggy for Chase and Status when I went. Proper tried to kill the vibe before you even got in. The venues decent enough though. Just wear stuff for outside too as a big chunk of it is. Sunglasses season though. Overall a decent venue."

"Was pleasantly surprised by this place. The size of the crowd was perfect, especially for being sold out. It allowed for easy access to the bar and had easy flow between inside and out. As for the sound system, was pretty good! There were a few areas where the high were so painful and I had to put my earplugs in... But if you get level with where the light and sound crew were it was fine haha! I think it could use some sound absorption but what do I know. Lights were pretty cool!"

"I can understand some of the bad reviews of this place, but not to the same extent. I went yesterday and it was great, aside from a few minor things as mentioned below, though they wouldn't put me off going again. The security/event staff were very good, helpful when needed, and strict about substances and the no under 18s policy at this particular event which was reassuring. The lighting was good and not rubbish like some others have said, I think it's more down to the actual control and use of it rather than the system itself. The sound system was alright, although it was very overkill on the bass which made it harder to hear the actual songs at the front, but it wasn't quiet by any means, even at the back. I do agree that it did get overwhelmingly hot and musty later on due to the lack of ventilation, which is something that needs to be fixed. Other than those minor things, it is a great and certainly unique venue."

"First time here, thought it was decent. It's exactly what you'd expect from a warehouse event space. Sound system is solid towards the front and middle, but it gets a bit muddy towards the back. It's a red hot sweat box if you're in the mix but there's plenty of areas to break out and cool down. The outside area is a bonus, plenty of space to chill out. There's a food van serving pretty decent food for a rave. I thought the drinks were OK value, yes it's expensive but compared to other venues like this I've been to, this seemed alright. I've post a picture of the drinks menu so you can make your own mind up. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because it took way too long to get in. I started a timer when we joined the queue at 3.30pm. It took us an hour to get in. There just weren't enough security for the number of tickets sold, really poor on that front."
