    I had the most awful experience at Cargo. AVOID at all costs. Me and a group of 6 others booked a table here 2 weeks before our booking in which we placed £140 deposit for the table. We specifically booked outside for 7x people. However, when we arrived, we were divided into two groups and seated inside. After speaking to numerous members of staff, all of which only one seemed to have any idea what was going on, we were eventually moved outside together. Once seated our drinks order was taken. 1 hour later, our drinks had not been served. (we chased the order up multiple times) We were then told by a member of staff that we couldn't sit together despite them approving of our booking 2 weeks prior. Nearly an hour and a half later, with no drinks and being told to split up, we decided to leave. We were told no refund could be given, (£140) and that we should contact them via email. A member of the party has since emailed three times with NO RESPONSE. The venue doesn't even deserve 1 star.

    Sweat drenched, my pores scream in the midst of that squelching cauldron. Poor tunes ooze from forth the walls. I certainly feel my £25 worth. Unless you seek the company of underaged and uncouth personnel, look no further.

    Me and my sister attended this event last night. I feel like Cargo spend too much time spying on the party goers rather than creating a good atmosphere. We were standing by the dance floor and all of a sudden i see this security guy standing there with a torch. I've never been to a club and experience security spying on the party goers like this. Its very uncomfortable. You guys need to chill out this is not a prestige 5 star club in London.

    As another post has mentioned, if I could give zero star ratings, I would. After a really good day celebrating our good friends 40th we bypassed the many places we could have gone to, and went to Cargo yesterday. Big mistake.. After four of our group being overcharged the entrance fee, staff and management refused to refund. When asked to make this up in the form of drinks it was like haggling as if they were doing us a favour. In addition they overcharged one of us for a round of drinks. And as if that wasn’t enough: another of our friends ordered food and drink and paid. Only to be told afterwards staff had incorrectly priced the order, they proceeded to point out to her that she owed money. Want a good night out? Don’t go to Cargo. Want to get ripped off? Then go ahead.

    I highly recommend To not to this « club ». I was going to spend New Year's Eve there, the entrance was £ 20, I gave them a 50 bill to pay the entrance and the woman did not want to give me the rest, she said that she had given me the change but it was totally wrong so I got robbed, and all the staff are bad liver they all support the woman who robe me. And for more the place and very bad atmosphere I do not recommend this kind of place if you want to have a good evening. I have been in very very good places in London but this one is the WORSTT.

    Avoid this place if you value a good night out, I would have rated it 0 if possible. The prices of drinks start at £7 for a single shot and the staff are nothing but rude and miserable, security picks fights with anyone coming through the door and the whole place smells like B.O and damp. Defo not a good place to spend your money guys, treat yourselves better and go to literally anywhere else.

    SCAMMERS!!!!!!! I was queuing with my friend. They stopped one of us. I was waiting next to him. They said to me that I had to go inside. I said not without my friend, cause we were all together. They said me that everything was fine, that I should go inside. Once that I paid £20, I saw they did not allow my friend to go in! We were 5 of us and they made 2 of us to paid... I kindly ask for a refund 3 sec after paid and they said me that it was not possible (no reason)!!! 3 sec after!!! So why did he make us to go into?! When I was trying to talk with somebody who helps me, the security guy came aggressively and try to took me outside. I have never seen myself in that situation. At the hall few groups were upset and complaining. The manager could not deal with all the complaints!! NEVER will go there.

    If I could give this place a zero star I would. DO NOT GO HERE. GO DIRTY MARTINI INSTEAD. We went here as a few of our friends were already inside. We queued up for about an hour (I assume covid related and not the issue had it been worth it inside). The doorman informed us it was £20pp entry and upon arrival inside we were asked to pay £25, which a waitress later confirmed was wrong as it has always been £20. They told us they had a DJ and an amazing vibe inside. Upon arrival we found out there was no DJ, and they were playing some horrendous playlist from speakers barely hearable. The drinks were extremely overpriced. At £14 for a G&T in a plastic cup. A delicious passion fruit martini served in a martini glass is £10 at Dirty martini. The place looked super dirty and had no ambience or vibe. Everyone we spoke to agreed. We left after 20 mins and went to Dirty Martinis with no entry fee, an amazing DJ, cheaper drinks, way better ambience as well as service. Overal a million times better than Cargo. We feel absolutely robbed of our money and I would recommend anyone reading this review to stay away from this disgusting, lying, money stealing place at all costs.

    the drinks are completely overpriced, the staff is incredibly rude and the place is very dirty (the toilets were particularly disgusting, I doubt that they're cleaned on a regular basis). on top of that they have a real DEAD TIGER for 'decoration' in the bar, which is so unethical and should be illegal. worst place I've been to in London so far

    Booked a table for £100 for birthday, bouncer was really rude when we arrived. After showing reservation said ‘that’s not a table booking. You think your gonna get a table for £100 love’ (yes, are you unaware of your table prices?) then said to que up. The lady dealing with bookings apologised for the bouncer’s arrogant attitude and got us in quickly and let us choose a table we wanted with was nice. We then got on our table and we had pre ordered a drinks package for around £80 I think with wine beer, a variety of drinks. Was then told we only had option of 2 bottles of Prosecco or wine…? Night was average, music was pop/cheesy. Definitely not worth the money. I think it the bouncer wasn’t so rude on arrival it wouldn’t of dampened our mood for the rest of the night.

    This is, hands down, the worst 'nightclub' in London. I feel bad for people who visit London and think this would be a good place to go. The drinks are so small and icy you will be sober the whole time, you will leave broke because everything is outrageously overpriced, the staff are extremely rude, the music is generic and awful. You wouldn't be able to enjoy the music anyway, because the venue is illegally packed out with aggressive and self-obsessed barbie insta people, and there is no room to dance. This venue is a money grabbing disaster under the hands of greedy and dishonest management, who clearly have no regard for their customers. It has completely changed from what it used to be years ago. Avoid.

    Widely known for the excessive prices of its drinks and entry fee which makes one question how it manages to draw in significant crowds every Saturday night. That might have something to do with the multiple dance floors, crowd pleasing RnB/Pop music and admittedly nice and spacious garden/smoking area. Worth going once at least though, just make sure it's not too far away utik the next pay day.

    SHOCKING EXPERIENCE!!!! I never post reviews but I have to share my anger as this is just unacceptable! We were first denied entry because we had only one girl in the group. Once our girlfriends joined, my brother could not queue with me as apparently we did not know each other??!! MY ACTUAL BROTHER... And then one friend got denied entry. Absolutely ZERO reason! No one could give us an explanation therefore it can only come down to one reason, RACE. First time I have ever experienced anything like this, we were out to have a much needed good time and this was the worse thing that could have happened. Please don't spend your money there!

    Terrible experience. It is a given than nightclubs in London will be expensive, but the number of different ways they try to LEECH MONEY off you in this place is unbelievable. In the cloackrooms each hanger is 3£ and you need a different one for each single item of clothing. At the bar, not only are the prices steep (as expected of a nightclubclub), but they actually INCREASE as the night progresses and after 10PM you're not allowed to make card payments for any less than 20£. You either have to buy drinks for yourself and your mates all at once whenever you go to the bar, or you're forced to pay those 20£ for ONE drink or carry around multiple cups all the time. To top it all off, there is is a whole separate dancefloor where you are not allowed to enter while wearing a HANDBAG (explain to me where I was supposed to be keeping my valuables)! I truly did not understand the logic behind this one as the room was EMPTY - perhaps another move to make you PAY EVEN MORE at the cloakroom? I would excuse all of this if the music or the vibe were worth it, but they just weren't. Save your time and money and do not go here.

    Rude staff, trod in a puddle of vomit by the bar which still wasn’t cleared up 10 minutes later, £15 for a large(?) rum and coke…. coke was completely flat and could barely taste any rum, a single bloke manhandled within seconds after the tiniest of scuffles but a large, rowdy group of lads knocking people’s drinks out of their hands (though no doubt spending money), left to run riot. I’m more than happy to pay London prices for a good night out but this was really low bar.

    Edited because just passed by on a Sunday afternoon and we were asked if we wanted to come in for happy hour. We’d been walking by and came back so all the team there would have seen us but as soon as we stepped in the metal gate a bouncer who had been just standing around was exceptionally rude for no reason, no one even in the queue - then he pulled us out the line to ask if it was ok we were allowed in? Called to his boss to have him eyeball us - Didn’t say why. about a minute later the nicer bouncer on the door said he could could put my food on the side but the one with the bad attitude said without looking at us that ‘if she wants in she can bin it, either she’s binning it or we’re binning it but it’s getting binned if she wants in’. Left and now can’t say I’m keen to go back despite my original review below. Like it’s a casual cocktail at your venue which had no one in except an event on a Sunday? It shouldn’t be that deep! Original review at 4* before staff change; Was here last night! Music was litty, drinks were expensive but strong 💪 a lot of good looking people in this club too, it attracts a good crowd. I lost half of my coat ticket and they still helped me get it from the back. They take card for cloak room which is blessed, I don’t carry cash! Downsides: toilet up the stairs and the line can wind right down it (but the lady in there was quick to be checking on everything), expensive entry (£20 even though it’s £10 online and said I’d have to leave and queue again if I bought the online ticket 😅). I’d go again for sure but it’s a payday only vibe for me personally.

    Nice music, ok atmosphere few rooms to go in and out of but hey who the hell carries cash on them going to a night club. You have to pay in cash for drinks or minimum £20 on card. Maybe i want to buy 1 drink at a time. Would not go back!!!

    This place is located in some alleyway where all kinds of creatures lurk, just a week before someone got treated like a kebab on a busy night..so coming I was a bit on edge, the only mildly positive is prob the under dressed thots. toilets looking like something out of a horror movie.the whole place look like the inside of a garbage truck. I advise they redo the venue put some colour and make it trendy, clean get some quality furniture, employ sexy young healthy bar maids and it will bang.

    Wouldn’t bother going here, can get better value elsewhere Music is good and the atmosphere is decent but that’s about it £20 entry is what you kind of expect for London - it’s annoying but expected. Drinks are a lot more expensive than clubs around and the queues to get to the bar take a while. They pack the club out, so expect to be jammed like sardines midway through the night. It’s okay but wouldn’t be my first choice for a night out

    Queued to get in, got to the door, tried to pay by amex and was then told they don't take it. No reception to make a transfer to my Monzo so I found a nook in the doorway to try and transfer money where I had some reception. 2 of the bouncers said that I couldn't be there but after I said I just needed a minute to make a transfer they shrugged and seemed fine. Then the big one, I think his name was Chico or something,j grabbed me and threw me out. I get it, bouncers have to deal with drunk people being difficult all the time, but come on man, show some comon sense and analyze the situation as opposed to being a brainless slab. Anyway, my mates were inside already, there for a birthday and I didn't want to let the squad down, so I made the transfer, queued again and got in. Went to the cloak room, massive queue, only one person manning it and every time someone paid by card she had to dance around to get reception, not exactly efficient. Bag and a blaser were £3 each, which is typical but after paying double your average entry fee you would expect some kind of concession on that. Moved on to the bar, nice big sign saying that after 10pm cards were only accepted for payments over £20, which not only is against the T&Csof card service providers is absolutely ridiculous. "Luckily"though a double rum and coke, and I say this with as much spite a possible is 13.5! So you only needed to get two to pay by card. I've seen comments about the drinks being strong, they aren't. They are mainly ice, followed by a double where a good part of the measure ended up on the table because their bar staff don't really understand how fluids work and only taste strong because there's hardly any space left for a any mixer after that. Music, and admittedly I tend to be a bit difficult with music, but a lot of it either wasn't particularly note worthy or just kinda bad. Couple of classics slipped in for a few verses here and there kept the floor going but except for that it was rather dull. And finally the guests; not the most interesting of people. Some tourists that were trying to experience "London life", feel sorry for them. A lot of "insta girls" that were there to be seen, had no objection to pushing in and through because they think they are special and then a lot of wide boys that think that because they can drop that kind money they have made it some how, and as much as I think £20 for entry and £13.5 a drink is expensive for what you got, it's not exactly brag worthy.... Couple of nice people though, but they seemed just as bewildered as me at the other guests. Exit was prompt and without warning leading to a bit of a run on the cloakroom, which again was understaffed. At least it was faster this time as the poor woman behind the desk didn't have to dance around for card reception. Once you exited we were beset by a load of drug pushers, that were polite enough to the men, but very clingy to the ladies. If I hadn't kept an eye on my female friends and warned a few of them off, these dead beats looked up to following a couple of my friends all the way home. All in all, I don't recommend this place at all. Never been a massive fan of clubbing in general, but in that area there's a lot of other, better, more cost-effective and more fun clubs to choose from.

    I don’t normally write negative reviews but this place was awful, probably one of the worst I’ve ever been! The drinks are over priced for this kind of place, £12,50 for a cocktail & £6,50 for a beer! Cloak room is £3 per item & entrance is £10! Min payment on a card is £20!!! What really bothered me was the amount of single use plastic cups they use on a daily basis!! Like thousands per day!! Plastic is a huge problem in the world so I don’t understand why can they not use reusable cups?!?! Save money & the environment!! I love dancing but I really struggled in this place because the DJ’s played all the same type of RnB that was just too slow, luckily there were a few good songs but overall not a huge variety! Will never go back there, it’s a proper tourist trap!!

    I do not usually leave reviews but this place is awful and you should avoid it at all costs. 30 quid entry fee on a Saturday which is overpriced even for London and the prices they were charging for drinks was criminal considering most of it was ice in a little plastic cup like the ones you get at the water coolers. No system at the door meant they were allowing everyone to flood in at once causing the main area to be overcrowded. That’s if you even make it to there considering there is a yob standing in the door way telling people they can’t come in with jackets. Once you do make it into the main area you’ll be left wondering how you paid so much money for such a mediocre venue. Only saving grace was music and even that wasn’t the best. First and last time here.

    I love 80s music and was looking forward to this, but was really disappointed. Didn't look like the photos online and smelled like dirty toilets! Staff were quite rude, didn't even check our tickets on the way in so had to go back to the door to get our free drink vouchers. Really small areas with a tiny dancefloor and no where to sit because all the seating was reserved. We felt so uncomfortable about all the creepy men dotted around standing still and just staring at us that we left early and found better music and atmosphere in a cocktail bar...

    This place used to be one of the best clubs in London about 6 years ago, boasting an amazing atmosphere with rad music sets and djs. Now it's completely unrecognizable and not even a shell of its former self. A sad hole of generic pop-ish/rnb hit music with extremely overpriced drinks and a lame clientele. The definition of a sold out club which has fallen from grace.

    What a fantastic night out! Everything that was arranged went to plan, first class customer service, brilliant, friendly staff! It was just fab! What a fantastic night out! Everyone from our group had a fun time shaking their stuff on the dance floor to 80s, some disco and 90s. They have a middle floor playing R'n'B and some Hip Hop which was a good contrast to the Carwash floor. Thank you so much!

    (Translated by Google) Evening reserved and paid 50 pounds per person for the New Year. Once there, a long queue awaits us. Once past the bouncers, we are asked to pay 70 pounds more per person because we are 20 minutes past the time we had to show up. We kindly explain that we were well presented on time and that the line lasted at least 45 minutes. Except that no one wants to hear anything, the staff were overwhelmed and threatened to pay or leave. We lost 400 pounds and no place to celebrate the New Year. Do not go to this crook club. A shame. (Original) Soirée réservé et payé 50 pounds par personne pour le nouvel an. Arrivé sur place, une longue queue nous attend. Une fois passé les videurs, on nous demande de repayer 70 pounds par personne en plus car nous avons dépassé de 20mn l'heure à laquelle on devait se présenter. On explique gentiment qu'on s'était bien présenté à l'heure et que la queue a duré au moins 45mn. Sauf que personne ne veut rien entendre, le personnel était débordé et nous a menacé de payer ou de partir. On a perdu 400 pounds et aucun endroit pour fêter le nouvel an. N'allez surtout pas dans ce club d'escroc. Une honte.

    Great 80's nightclub. Amazing vibrations; good music. That's a place to go in group to have fun. 1 - the price of the drinks is okay; not so expensive. 2 - You can dress in a 90's, 80's or 70's style, but it isn't mandatory. Actually, you can dress yourself in any style that you like. 3 - it isn't a up class attire place; they're open mind about that. 4 - They do not discriminate against sex, preventing men from entering and favoring only women (beautiful and sexy); because there are clubs, such as Scandal and Toy Room, that are elitist, allowing 80% or more to enter( women), and leaving less than 20% of the places for men.

    Excellent 80s music with a wee bit.of 70s and 90s on the lower basement floor of this club with a nice bar and a light up disco floor. Highly recommended, however the drinks are pretty watered down as you'd expect. Sound volume can be a bit too high.

    Amazing club with friendly staff. 3 levels with different music on each. Totally recommended! The Club is also called The Loop.

    Overpriced (£25 entry before 12am and they don’t tell you the price until you have gone through security so feel pressured to pay), expensive drinks for Shoreditch, rude staff, bad vibes, would avoid!

    Would give 0 if I could! This place is SO bad. Please don’t go and support this HORRIBLE place!

    As an ex-employee, this place was an awful company. They didn't pay me my final week of work. After ignoring numerous emails, they finally payed some money with no apology or acknowledgement of a very blatant mismanagement.

    I’m not surprised the ONLY venue we nearly got jumped got closed for violence and crime. It makes perfect sense. I’ve never had a problem with violence anywhere else prayed to the Lord and this one got shut. A group of girls nearly jumped me and my friend inside cargo and I said i’m never going back. Thank God they shut it down for good. “Violent and disorderly”.

    Pre-booked a table, paid up front. Arrived at Cargo as previously arranged & it was closed. Still waiting for a response about our refund & the out of pocket expenses we incurred, terrible service, ruined our night, disappointed doesn't cover it

    Overpriced and overhyped place. Not worth the money at all

    Just popped in for a casual drink. The Daiquiri and Caipirinha were not nice at all! 4/5 of our group had happy hour cocktails and we all left at least 1 drink. The staff were lovely having said that and regularly came to check on us. I won't be rushing back though, if at all.

    Afs and Angel are the most amazing bartenders that could ever walk this earth and I would walk over lego to buy a shot from them, no matter how painful it is.

  • 1/5 Nicholas Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Would give 0, never had a good experience here. SBG yet again ripping off the unweary of east london. Dont bother, there are better bars where you wont pay entry nor pay ludicrous amounts for generic alcohol they advertise as premium brands.

    Good time but a lot has changed. Different vibe

  • 4/5 Sophia A. 4 years ago on Google
    Insane

  • 4/5 RYUNOSUKE 4 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed gigs here. staff was nice but a bar wasn't that attractive as gigs here.

  • 1/5 Saffron C. 4 years ago on Google
    These people are crooks! The manager (short Asian man) was rude and aggressive and the security were incapable of doing their jobs. Bought a ticket and we weren’t let in because THEIR staff forgot to scan the ticket. They refused to give me a refund, they refused to let me in and they refused to apologise for a mistake they made. It is in dire need of a management change

    Nice

  • 5/5 Keeb Q. 4 years ago on Google
    I really like this club because it has two dance floors. The Carwash floor is a retro mash up of 80s, a bit of 90s and they still play disco which appeals to a slightly older crowd. The other floor is more urban and with a younger audience. Staff are ok and the security not too bad. Drinks are a bit pricey but I guess that is normal for the West End. Overall, the music is what does it and I been a few times because of that. DJs are good.

    Bar crawled here on a night out, wasn’t a bad shout to be fair. Decent music and drinks.

  • 2/5 J P. 2 years ago on Google
    Didn't get to go in but security very firm, few nice ones but the vibes feel slightly off. Tried to get in before 9 as its free but scanner wasn't working so just held everything else up

  • 1/5 Bethany N. 2 years ago on Google • 1 review
    Avoid at all Costssss!!! Absolutely scam and very rude manager and staff members! Before entering it said free bar which was lit up and asked members of staff at the bar outside if we had to pay for entry to the bar which they said NO. When we arrived we were forced to pay £20 for entry which we didn’t want to use the night club as we believed it was only a free bar and then we pay for the drinks. Prices are an absolute joke anyways. We were leaving very quickly and only wanted 1 drink and being forced to pay £20 is not on and like I said very rude staff. I wanted our money back for the entry fee but got denied by the manager who wasn’t listening anyways. Any where else would be better anyways!!!

    I regularly attend music events as part of my job, and this was hands down the worst venue I've been to. The security staff were incredibly rude and stand-offish towards me (I consider myself to be friendly and polite - so I'm not sure why they felt they needed to challenge me - perhaps because I'm queer presenting). When I went to the bar, lime and soda was (unbelievably) £3.50 (!!!), and when I saw the payment didn't go through, the bar staff asked me to check my own bank account to see if the transaction had been made. When I very honestly told them it hadn't, without making any eye contact they pushed the card machine towards me and walked away (it wasn't busy at the bar, so there was no need to be non-talkative with me - having previously worked in hospitality I would have been disciplined for how cold this member of staff was with me). After seeing the act I'd come to see I left pretty quickly as the atmosphere was totally dead and unwelcoming. Regardless of who is playing there next time, I won't be attending.
