Club 701 516 Old Kent Road, London SE1 5BA

"We went together as a group following a work dinner, and we had a great time. Great service and enjoyable music.Will return with my pals, if not my coworkers!"

"This place here is absolutely appalling, shocking I don’t even know how such a place can be open in 2022 it’s got the worse security man who thinks his the boss / owner and an awful clock room assistant who’s got no class/ personality at all ! He basically decides what he wanst to charge people! With some its 2 and some it’s £3 I will not recommend I will never even bother not worth it at all"

"Main concern: Lacks security. Other issues: DJ talks too much (tried to be an MC) and entry fee is way too high for what the place is. No sense of security: Security generally lackadaisical and no visible presence inside the venue or in the smoking area - this place really does need good security considering some of the questionable clientele. On entry, they carried out a frisk search which was so incomplete they might as well not have bothered. On the night I went, present was a large group of young men with a number of them wearing full face balaclavas and at one point entered the DJ booth to intimidate the DJ into playing 'drill' music - which noone wants to hear on a night out (apart from that group of course). It appeared as if the group were looking for trouble and there was no security intervention, are your security colleagues afraid to do their job or are they just not paid enough? Minor issues: DJ plays good music but cuts in way too much over the music to speak, almost trying to be an MC which he's not actually great at. Also, £20 entry fee for this type of venue on Old Kent Road - really?"

"Absolutely terrible. Bar service is extremely slow with no sense of urgency from staff. The security are awful and extremely rude I’ve never experienced such rude staff at a venue. I literally did not even want to enter the building due to the behaviour of security but had no choice as it was my friends birthday. You are forced to put your jacket in the cloakroom I have never experienced this ever! This is clearly a scam to pull in more money. Such a shame because I’d love to support this black run business but they never receive another penny from me. The worst hospitality I have ever experienced. Surprised these guys are still in business."
