Reviews on Design My Night
Leanne: Absolutely brilliant night! We did not stop dancing the entire evening. There is such a great range in the music and people of all ages were on the dance floor. FIVE STARS!
Susan: We had an absolutely brilliant night. The DJ kept the dancefloor packed with back-to-back bangers, and the hilarious videos were a blast to dance along to. If you love pop music, this is the Friday night spot to be, and it’s great to see a genuinely gay-friendly venue in Brixton. Booze prices could be a bit cheaper, but we can’t really complain as it’s free entry
