Archives London — Restaurant in London

Never been more disappointed with a rave/ venue. Not sure if the security staff working were Archives own or DNB Allstars agency but I was appalled that my type one DIABETIC boyfriends sealed sweets and insulin pen got wrongly confiscated, then eventually returned after we complained which was met with being shouted at by multiple security staff who clearly didn’t know what they were doing, whilst I saw THREE men with Nitrogen Oxide canisters inside!!!!! Selling balloons to young, vulnerable and inebriated ravers, makes me wonder if the venue knew about these men and allowed such an irresponsible and dangerous situation, so incredibly angry at the lack of care.

Once we had gotten inside the toilet situation was also unorganised but I didn’t expect much… the venue was obviously overbooked as well, as everyone was shoulder to shoulder which made it impossible to enjoy the music. The lack of seating was shocking too, people blocked almost all the pathways as they resulted to sitting on the floor for rest in such a small and cramped space with no outside/ fresh air access as the staff strangely had a one by one system for the smoking area which could have fit 30+ people for some reason.

The redeeming factor was the bar staff who were mostly friendly and helpful with supplying water constantly throughout the night. Respect to Turno for an incredible set and the onsite Medics who I saw catering to people. But shame on you Archives, will never...

It’s a shame the security and organization was so terrible because this club has the potential, however there are many things to point out. First of all that’s the first ever time i’ve had to queue for half an hour in, more like a crowd, just to get some fresh air so when my friend started feeling faint and needed a minute they told her no and that she had to wait when he was on the line of passing out? then when we eventually were outside we couldn’t take our drinks including bottles of water?? and to top it off they were rushing us back inside and told us to be quiet? it was new year’s eve 😂 the only toilets were grim and flooded and unisex. the cloak room was a half an hour wait. It’s a shame really they could’ve done so much more to fix this like open the front outdoor area just so some people could breathe as the club is like a sweatbox. organization was poor and it was my birthday so highly disappointed with...

Went for the big cheap night out hosted by proFESSional; band was brilliant, dj's, entertainers and guests were cool, security were reasonable and chill people.

The bar staff were absolutely awful, slow, rude and everybody complaining that they were literally serving watered down spirits - ordered a smirnoff and lemonade, then literally watched them grab a Ciroc, like 1st I didnt order that and 2nd they were fishing spirit bottles out the glass bin, open bottles would magically reappear filled - only beer was some IPA which tasted like the taps and pipes weren't cleaned, terrible selection of drinks, mixers on tap were flat and flavourless.

To top it off they were charging £9 for a double and mixer, would recommend spending your money literally anywhere else, go pub, go literally anywhere else or just dont go if this is your...
