Reviews
"I had a great nite there but unfortunately my friend got wasted & I would like to thank the 2 female bouncers who looked after her for hours making sure she was safe & hydrated after puking up everywhere. All the Bongos staff are super chilled."
"Absolute waste of money. £12 each for tickets to a "hardcore DnB night" but didn't expect there to be just like 10 people stood around in a room not even dancing. No atmosphere, no excitement, just a waste of a night."
"Where do I start... last century. The chilled out underground vibe and banging beats of the Bongo Club have kept me returning since drum n bass was called jungle... the doorman Pete ain't just the gatekeeper, he is the manager, curator and purveyor of fine beats. My name is the The Mighty Gareth, I love drum n bass and I'm a funking raver... go to The Bongo Club Edinburgh coz it will lift you up and chill you out. X"
"I second every comment re. bouncer attitude over there. Physical assaults happen for no actual reason, based on abuse of power. It's still an open question whether the bouncers are also managers (as they claim when asked and as others have written here) - if that's the case, good reason to never visit again. Moreover, they've got the support of the police (or people who claim to be the police) which is waiting outdoors. Thankfully, there's plenty of much better (and underground) venues offering equally good music nearby. These guys should try a career as Daredevil stunts."
"My favourite Edinburgh club. authentic vibe, great music and what's more they're a charity so would 1000 % recommended a night out here if you're visiting Edinburgh (From an Edinburgh resident)"
