Honestly the worst experience I have ever had at a bar. Charged each of our group £35 for a Christmas Party. There were 35+ of us. We were told we would get food for everyone and all dietary requirements would be catered for. We were also each given two drinks tokens. Upon arrival to the bar there were so many Christmas parties in the venue and hardly any staff. My first trip to the bar took 30 minutes to get a drink (about 60 people waiting for drinks and 4 bar staff on). We were told food would be served at 7.30pm. Two hours later we got food and all it was, was some chips and pizza (there was 1 staff member doing the food). With no dietary requirements catered for and the volume of food provided to us would have only fed 15 people maybe. The next trip to the bar took over an hour to be served (over 60 people at the bar and 2 staff working). Honestly it was one of the most horrendous experiences of a bar/venue ever. Absolutely do not go to this venue. On top of this the men's toilets were flooded and not dealt with for the duration of the evening.
The drinks tokens are a rip off too. Can't use them for most drinks (or at least the staff wouldn't let us) and so many of us had to pay for drinks anyway. As we were told the vouchers only covered beer, wine or a soft drink. Disgusting. To pay £35 for this was an absolute rip off. I hope the owners and staff are embarrassed. Safely to say anyone I talk to will be told to avoid this place...
Read moreThe manager Katie is absolutely despicable at this roxy ball room cornerhouse. She was shouting at staff in front of costumers to the point where one of the staff started crying and all that the staff member was trying to do was help me with a game. It was absolutely horrible to watch and see the young girl walk away. So I asked another member of staff if the manager does that a lot and the staff member said yes and that they also feel unsafe to be on a shift when the manager is working. No staff members should feel unsafe around a MANAGER a role model someone you’re meant to learn from and trust but instead this manager is making her staff cry and feel unsafe. These staff members I’ve seen and spoke to are also young adults and making them feel this way can really affect their mental healths and make them not want to work at all. This is not what we want for our young adults! For some of them, this is their first job. We do not want them thinking that this is what work life really is, managers thinking they can bully them because they are young. Absolutely disgusting and never have I worked anywhere or been anywhere where I’ve seen the manger treating their staff that poorly!😡 Roxy ball room...
Read moreFirst off: you MUST have a booking / book your activity in advance! We were asked to show our booking email at the door before we could go in, and you need to show it at the desk to pick up your booze/balls/beanbags etc depending on what game you’ve booked.
Secondly, what an incredible venue! I was not excited at all when I heard we would be going to play some beer pong, but this venue is WILD and we had such a great time (and I enjoyed the beer pong!). We’d booked the beer package which is £19, but we were able to have a mix of Hooch and Red Stripe beers. You can also have Kopperberg or Seltzer for the same price, or pay £27.50 to fill your cups with Prosecco.
We had such a great time, and I wish we had booked more activities as everything looked so fun! There is ‘ice-free’ curling, bowling, ping pong, pool, cornhole and many others, and you can buy pizza as well.
I read that there was a tiki bar on one of the floors in the building as well but I...
