Blondies — Restaurant in London

Saddens me to have to write this (1st bad review I'm ever writing for anyone in fact) but was left appalled by this venue tonight, and I hope this will be a one-off that won't repeat itself to future punters including myself. So the FB event page for a gig does not show the band times nor at least the 1st band's kickoff. As I had a prepaid ticket for another earlier gig elsewhere and after having attempted to ask (without reply) on the FB event, I msged them via Google chat, making them aware I was leaving a gig I had prepaid just to attend theirs. I was informed the 1st band starts 815pm and I arrive right on the dot BUT security asks for my ticket. I point out I was willing to pay, but he said I should get a free ticket online. So I ask him to give me the link but he does not have it, so I ask to radio staff inside but he has no facility to. So I chat again with staff via Google, who send me a msg to show to security to let us in. I point to management I am disappointed I lost 15mins of a 30min show, and all they could say is to enjoy the show, and that they advertise on insta not FB, so I went to insta and even there they do not mention that the event was ticketed albeit free. Running in circles? So I asked for a complimentary drink (nice to have been offered without asking) and at this point the management stopped answering. Really? :) And that was the last string that pushed me towards the edge to sadly write this review. I hope they take this as constructive criticism! But I doubt they will as later after the show, the manageress came out to the security and slyly asked him to point her who we were. But I am slyer as I noticed even though they cheekily went back in!...

It have the appearance of a rock venue with a motorbike outside and tatoos but once you're in you really realise that it isn't like that at all!!! "Trust me" my friend said and I'm glad I did 💁Came here with my girls and theys and it was perfect, lots of cheesy hits, 90s + 2000s pop, perfext DJ, danced the night away, had the feeling that we could do whatever we wanted (we felt so safe!!) so we really let our hair down and we were singing and pointing all night!! Drinks are expensive but the guy tender us lots of free shots when he heard us complained about the price of a round.. such cool staff ❤️ Didn't hear any Slipknot all night thank god! I'll be back, thank...

One Hell of a great place to have a night out. Refreshing vibes, great weekly events, great annual events, awesome staff, great owners, what more to say? Look if you dig anything from Rock and Roll to Death Metal, and anything in between then check Blondie's out. A unique place in East London, also East London home to Iron Maiden. Great selection on drinks. Hell if you play music or got an idea for an event ie: screening of a short movie then contact Blondie's as the audience always open for artistic value of the same taste. Peaceful, friendly, beautiful vibes, and people. Thanks for your time and...
