    I have never been to this establishment, but the other night I ate a subway. This man called me Jeremy when my name is actually John. Then that night, when I was sleeping, I dreamt that I was in this club and I got thrown out because my left shoe lace wasn't tied. Preposterous behaviour. Won't be going here again.

    Got kicked out because i dropped my drink on floor in the smoking area, as some young lad kept falling into me after sniffing something out of a bottle. Was completely sober as well but bouncers insisted that I was causing trouble (by sitting down on the bench). Would not visit in a thousand years, sticky floors, bouncers who can only count up to 8, and drugged up 14 year olds walking around the place.

    I am 5,4 and was thrown about by about 5 of the bouncers thrown out the fire exit doors because I have a tall bf and he was able to touch the ceiling, after been thrown into the metal doors was also pushed close to concrete wet stair case then when the bouncers realised I was recording I was chased and threatened to be pushed down the stairs. Only good thing going for them is the cheap drinks

    Reprobate bouncers put a damper on the night. Six of us paid entry, 5 of us got inside but I noticed my friend had been turned away for being too drunk - which is fine and theyā€™re well within their jurisdiction to do so. I approached the amoeba of a man that is the bouncer to try and gauge whether he could come back in around an hour - the few words we exchanged must have been a sensory overload for the poor fella as he angrily booted me out as I was ā€˜pissing him offā€™. Bouncers attitude stinks, which seems to be a reoccurring theme when looking at other reviews. We all left and went to Yates. Good atmosphere and the bouncers were actually top blokes, unlike the simple minded creatures that guard the cess pit that is ACAPULCO. I expected nothing, but still left disappointed.

    Absolutely disgusting behaviour from big bulky bouncers. Threw me and my friend whom both I may add are quite small and only 18 years old down the stairs. Honestly astounded with the behaviour of these individuals towards such young people. I will be proceeding with reports to the council about this venue as it quite literally unsafe for young individuals who want a fun night out. Places like this should be safe for young people to enjoy yet itā€™s still open for abusive behaviour towards petite young vulnerable women. This all started because my friend had her jumper tied round her waist while in the outdoor area, the MALE bouncer followed my friend into the LADIES toilet and picked her up and dragged her to the stairs and pushed her down the stairs. When I stuck up for my friend I was then also dragged to the entrance and pusher down the stairs. This experience ruined our night and has traumatised myself from the clubbing experience. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone ever.

    Love acca 75p drinks , usually in every Friday not been for while though, went here for my very first trip to night club love it , staff are so welcoming , cocktails are nice too I usually get them rather than 75p drink. Smoking area is massive and has plenty of benches. Love music . Entry fee is only about 5 quid . Can't say I've witnessed bouncer brutality yet. They seem ok . Prefer Friday's as Saturday a bit busier . Been here at least 8 times and love it . x

    Bouncers are complete power tripping tossers, wonā€™t deal with the drugged up 15 year olds and obvious dealers selling in the club but will happily attack random lads and lasses they donā€™t like the look of, punched two of my mates for genuinely no reason then squared up to them outside when asked why they were attacked. Its one thing being on alert for drunk idiots on a night out, but when theyā€™re attacking random people starting issues where there are none because theyā€™re bored its genuinely pathetic. If you want to get spiked, drink with clearly underage kids, and then get attacked by some creepy roided bouncers who only ID the lads then this is the place for you.

    Used club here in my youth - it was OK! I've been back recently and it hasn't changed much at all, still for the young 'uns. Cheap booze and always packed at the weekend. Only saying not wheelchair accessible as you need to walk up loads of steps just to enter the place. Smoking area available on roof. Music is normal clubland type - good.

  • 1/5 lady p. 5 months ago on Google
    This establishment is managed by a set of steroid pumped up bully boy's . I would recommend that it be avoided at all costs . I have witnessed the door staff bully , intimidate and physically abuse there costumes. I have scene the blood on the door staffs shirt after such an altercation. Three of them on to one young lad. It has always been my experience that bouncers are there to protect and look after there customers. Sadly this is not the case here. SHAME ON YOU !!!!! I do question if any of them have SIAĀ licence. There behaviour clearly fails the jurisdiction of such a license. I have been unable to publish the video I captured here , in Google's words " due to the graphic contents "

    Bouncers have a superiority complex. First time visiting and wonā€™t be back. Weā€™d just arrived and my friend kicked out. Why? Because she had her jacket. She was left alone outside. When we asked what the problem was we were told that jackets arenā€™t allowed. With it being our first time here we thought there would be some leniency as we didnā€™t realise this was an actual compulsory rule. I spoke to multiple bouncers explaining, they had no sympathy and didnā€™t want to listen, every single one had an attitude problem. Two staff members were actually very understanding and helpful, and explained they didnā€™t understand the rules themselvesā€¦they worked in the cloak room. I asked to speak to the manager hoping to have a human conversation. USELESS! The manager has a god complex. I again, explained our situation and that it was our first time here and apologised. He told me we passed two signs and was given warnings by the bouncers but at no point did the bouncers mention it wasnā€™t just advisory. He spoke down to me the whole time like I was a child, he had the most unprofessional and patronising attitudeā€¦some so-called ā€œmanagerā€. In the end I gave in. My attempt to get listened to was about as useful as bouncers themselves. Two of my friends left and for the rest of the little time we stayed, we saw multiple people being man handled by the bouncers unnecessary when being kicked out. The whole place needs to get over itself. If they were really THAT concerned by the no-jackets-rule and it being a ā€œsecurity measureā€ they could show some decorum and be able to have a decent conversation, or even better they could have actual security measures like bag checks.

    Paid money to get in to only get dragged (and I mean physically dragged by my jacket) out by a bouncer a few seconds later for not putting my jacket in my bag. Couldnā€™t even go back in to tell friends I was being kicked out. Worst bouncer I have ever met and I will never go back. Absolute set of idiots working on the doors. Stay well clear!

    Bouncer threw young lad down the stairs, bruised his arm and ripped his shirt just because his chain kept coming out of his top while dancing. Lad wasn't even drunk as he'd not been there that long. He wasn't even causing any trouble.

    After hearing about this place on the Pulse for many a year I finally entered the hallowed grounds of the Acapulco. I was expecting smack heads and toothless hookers, what I actually found was a fantastic Thursday night out. The night is a blur of endless trips to the bar to buy random strangers 75p drinks. I thought my days of alcopop drinking were over however the ability to sample the full range of Vk's at only 75p was too hard to resist. Visit this place it's like a little bit of Magaluf 2005 but in Halifax

    Bouncers are the most power hungry whoppers going! Think they are the big deal pushing young women around and shouting racial abuse! low lives! See the picture of the low life below before the rest of the animals were let out the cage. These bouncers are probably involved with the Rotherham groomers! Just trying to have a few drinks and get attacked and hauled abuse at for sticking up for 2 young women! At one point one of the bouncers a tall black man tried to kick me down the stairs and then ran out the front door and swung a punch at me which I dodged couldn't box eggs! Power crazy people who are angry at the world working permanent nighshift for peanuts enjoy tonight kids! Also there was 100% drugs getting dealt on these premises after all the commotion we were stood about 50 yards from the entrance talking to the 2 young women who had been hauled abuse at and witnessed one of the bouners who was another black male cross the road and pick up a suspicious looking package from a white range rover you do the maths!

    Would give it 0 stars if I could, I am a 5ft 3 female and 8 bouncers assaulted me and pushed me to the floor after they caused issues with the rest of my group. Really aggressive men that shouldnā€™t be allowed to hold a position of authority as they abuse their power. I had to phone the police as a lot of my group were attacked.

    Saw a lady having a seizure and the bouncers were moving her. As a nurse I went to assist as this is the opposite of what should be done. Was told by one bouncer to ā€˜fuck off and leaveā€™ absolutely ridiculous and hope to god the lady is okay. Iā€™d had nothing to drink at this point either

    The bouncers have improved there attitude ā€¦ I understand it must be annoying having to deal with drunken people I get that ā€¦but at times I feel they are awkward ā€¦was in the paper about letting a girl in that was 16 Iā€™m ā€¦yet a group of 5 males that went a few weeks. .. the 2 oldest 27,28 got IDā€™d ā€¦yet the 3 youngest 23,20,21 didnā€™t ? ? And apart from one of them it was pretty obvious we were older than the other 2 and over the age of 19/20 But they are better than before so ā€¦

    If you're looking for a night out in Halifax, I would suggest avoiding Acapulco. It's a poorly managed nightclub with a reputation for trouble. There always seems to be many drunk people coming out of the club, and it's not uncommon for there to be incidents. It's really disappointing to see a venue that has so much potential let itself down in this way. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a safer and more enjoyable night out.

    I love this place. Cheap drinks and outside smoking area what's not to love. Shame there isn't a bigger dance floor

  • 1/5 Nicole M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Only one word for this place is disgusting!! Iā€™ve been clubbing so many time in Leeds,Bradford hudz you name it and never in my life have I ever been manhandled by 3 male bouncers and thrown down the stairs when I was capable of escorting myself to the exit this places need closing down and believe me I will do everything in my power to do so! Druggy bouncers underage kids absolutely VILE! I would be absolutely mortified if I was the manager of this establishment

    They discriminate against skin colour and what clothes youā€™re wearing. Stay away if you are a defender of freedom and liberties

  • 4/5 Samuel L. 1 year ago on Google
    If you try and ignore the fact that its mostly full of teenagers then they actually play decent music in here that you can have a dance to and the drinks are the cheapest I've ever known in a nightclub.

    Best night out in Halifax

  • 4/5 Craig B. 4 years ago on Google
    One of Britainā€™s club scene jewels in the crown. Been here longer than Halifaxā€™s charity shops. Itā€™s cheap, a good laugh and makes you into a stair way navigating champion if youā€™ve never stumbled when drunk. Itā€™s a Halifax institution.
