I know that there is a lot of craze and demand for this so called night club and most people define this night club as luxurious, happening, classy etc etc, however my experience as a guest was horrendous. I have been to night clubs all across the country and I am among those who willingly splurge in order to have a great time in discos but what I faced in Hammerz was unexpected. We had paid a cover charge of 11k for 3 of us in advance. I was under the impression as per their website that the club opens at 9:00 pm, so we reached the club 5 mins prior to opening only to be to told by the management that their opening time is at 9:30 pm, so we will have to wait for half an hour. I still thought that it was a miscommunication so I agreed to wait along with other people. Next starts their so called" Club Rules"....Club rule number 1... my wife was not allowed to enter the club with her hand bag and to everyone's confirmation it was not a huge bag, it was a normal hand bag from Aldo, I will definitely attach the pics with the review. So we hand no option but to deposit the bag at the counter, still trying to adjust expecting to have an awesome night ahead. We were then made to stand in a queue like school students expecting the " Doors of Olympus " to open any minute. After entering we took a standing table which was unreserved as per " Club rules number 2" and was smaller than my SUV 's dashboard. But somehow three of accomodated ourselves and ordered a bottle of Dewars 12 yr costing 12k and food costing 2k , so as our cover charge was of 11k we refilled our card for 5k more which was given to us while entering. So now our card had a balance of 16k of which we had used 14k for drinks and food. Music started and all of us were enjoying, we ordered more food and again refilled our card for 3k.....so by 12am we had spent 19k , accommodating ourselves on that puny table , eager to spend more just to have a great Goa experience. Suddenly around 12:15 am I was told by the waiter serving us that we will have to share our table with 4 more people as it was an unreserved table. I was shocked as there was no place for 3 of us to keep our glasses , food plates, liquor bottle, water, mobile phones properly on that table and the management wanted to shove in 4 more guests with us . I requested the managers many times that there is no place for accommodating any more people on that table but they kept on narrating RULES from their " Holy Constitution" . As per them it was an unreserved table so we will have to share the table with 10 more people if so the "HOLY CLUB of GOA" decided. I kept on urging that we were willing to shed more money if required, order another bottle of Dewars 12 yr, order more food....just because we didn't want to spoil our experience. But the attitude we received from the Managers in blue suits inside was no less than high ranking government bureaucrats, explaining the mantra of " RULES ARE RULES". To summarise I will say that it might be the best club of Goa as self declared by themselves in their website, it might be in high demand, it might have long queues of people outside their club dying to get inside but truly speaking I have never experienced that kind of arrogance from the best of the brands like ITC, JW Marriott, Taj etc any where in this country or in the world. So having experienced best of the brands in this country and outside....I will be happy to stay away from self proclaimed No.1 Night Clubs like these. They should teach their managers some hospitality, warmth and if nothing else a smile to welcome their guests. They are not doing any favour by letting us into their club, neither they are distributing free liquor and...
Read moreHammerzz Nightclub - A Nightmare Unfolded:
Initially, there is a chaotic group of about 8 guys at entry, Mr. Ayaan at the door, accompanied by his ruder sidekick, declares a sudden ban on stag entries.
The sidekick proposes that if we pair up and find girls we can enter as a couple. My friend and I decide to give it a shot.
We talk to and join a group of 10 ladies with a reserved table - they were really nice. Ayaan however decides to question them about us and tell her not to help strangers since they are charging 7k per stag. Suddenly changing the no ban situation.
Attempting to clarify, we face aggression from the sidekick. I decide to book a table online if that's the only way - Inquiring about table costs, we're told an outrageous 1 lakh!! - making the situation even more absurd.
Speaking to Ayaan again, stag entry prices fluctuate from 7k to 8k depending on if you enter with another couple. The rules keep changing, adding to the confusion. They say the table was for 10 so can't add 2 more.
We talk to another group of girls who are younger and already nervous about this "fancy" place. We tell them we can pay for the couple entry and buy them a few drinks if they help us out. They are friendly and say yes. We get to the door and Ayaan asks the first one "that guy in the specs that's in your group - what's his name ? " Completely out of line with his invasive questioning. The young girl was already nervous gets flustered and backs out. They just skip the place all together.
The overall vibe is offensive, rude, and unprofessional, creating an unpleasant atmosphere.
Shocked, we reason with Ayaan and his sidekick, but they persist with inconsistent rules and deny entry.
Reluctantly considering paying 16k at 12:30 AM, the sidekick dismisses flat out and denies entry : "I just won't let you in no matter what you do" I'm flabbergasted we tell Ayaan we are ready to pay 8k each but he says I'm sorry I am with my sidekick and change my mind too.
After wasting 40 minutes, their rude and unprofessional behavior forces us to leave. We said we would leave them reviews on social media and Ayaan cockily added that we shouldn't forget Google reviews and to please add one there. The amount of rude cocky behaviour was unbelievable and they said that they are denying us entry no matter what.
I am visiting India from the US and my friend was visiting from Ireland - we no longer live in India. This appalling experience, with its rude behavior, arbitrary rules, and unprofessionalism, not only ruined our night but also soured our entire Goa trip. Thanks, Ayaan and sidekick, for an unforgettable disaster. You're welcome for...
Read moreThis is my first ever negative review on google and that tells that I had to go through a lot to write this one. I had carefully read all the reviews including a lot of negative reviews before visiting Hammerzz. I took a leap of faith and still visited thinking it’s the weekend and it shouldn’t be so bad. I paid 7K cover charge as a stag to enter which was a lot for any club in Goa. A couple of observations which are rightly pointed out in other reviews too. The long line of two wheelers that you see parked right outside the club are NOT of the people visiting the place. I was there on a Friday night and looking on the outside you might feel the club should be packed but it was not. It’s a good size club but the crowd was not how it looked from the outside. Also, it says luxurious club and you pay 7K to enter while expecting a good crowd but it was not at all. I’ve seen similar croud in usual clubs in Goa so that doesn’t set it apart from any other club. Plus, they charge you 50 rupees per person for parking. I am like give me a break. It’s not about the money but who charges for Parking in the clubs parking. Also, the huge line of fascinos (bikes) outside the club are definitely bought by the club and parked there to show there is crowd inside. I was one of the last people to leave the club and that huge line of fascinos was still there. Drinks: I had 2 large whiskeys, 1 small whiskey and 1 LIIT in a span of 2 hours. Well, that should get you super high right? It didn’t, I was as normal as I had entered the club. Maybe a slight high that you get after having a drink. So you know what I am trying to say. Music: I wouldn’t say it was bad but it wasn’t good either. Frankly speaking - I had a much better time in Downtown Club Goa where I didn’t pay an entry charge and the DJ was 10x more engaging than the one at Hammerzz. People there had so much fun.
All in all, if you want to go ahead and check out the club and are able to pay 7K like it’s nothing. Do it. But if 7k is a good amount for you. Go elsewhere and you will have a better ROI in case they end up charging you 7K, which no other club will, in Goa. PS: it’s 5K on weekdays for stag and 7k on weekends. Weekend I.e. Friday was SAD. Imagine how a...
