How lucky to counts Blacks members amongst my friends, so I occasionally enjoy the privilege of…read morebeing taken to this lovely place. As all around it the old Soho is crumbling, with its seedy hangouts being replaced by yet another faceless bar or burger brand, it is comforting to know Blacks is still Blacks. The beautiful townhouse hasn't changed much over the years and doesn't follow the formula of other members clubs. Yet despite its dark walls and old fashioned paintings it is anything but stuffy, and certainly no old man's club. The whole point of any members club is exclusivity - why else would you pay an astronomic sum for the chance of the odd late night drink!? Still, membership to Blacks seems to be about more than just being affluent and the website doesn't give away the secret of selection. Perhaps no longer the misfits of its early days in the 18th centure, but certainly a good mix of interesting folk which gives each visit a bit of an edge. I now have to find a friend who would like to take me to dinner here - all my recent visits have been limited to liquid intake only ...

Erm, no. I went with two members and a group of 6-7 others, and in trying to get an exception to…read morethe 2-guests-per-member rule (at 4pm, nonetheless) was treated with a high degree of snark from their host/front-door man. The manager was courteous, but this particular gentleman was, to put it politely, crass. Could be a great place, and it's certainly a gorgeous space, but any club with the lack of sense to put this act front and center is one I want nothing to do with.

Don't go! Seriously - it's all mine and I don't want to share it…read more Okay that is a bit extreme but this place is the most magical club in the world and I'm resenting every letter I type here. So here's the deal, I'll write this and you'll appreciate it but never actually set foot it this place..okay? Good! I discovered this club/venue through my far too cool flatmate and we went on Halloween. It was like a huge house party full of your friends in some of the most horrific fancy dress I have ever seen. They have a small stage at the front where local artists perform alongside burlesque dancers for a truly eye opening experience. The place is filled with party people who dress funny even when they aren't in fancy dress and the drinks are cheap enough to get drunk on £20. That is after playing a whooping £10 to get in. Since that night I have been back a few times and every time I do it gets harder to get in. The queues are longer and the door staff ruder, in fact this Halloween we got there and they wouldn't even let us in at all. At 7pm (and I like to say that the normal starting time for things like this is about 11pm) there was over 200 people outside all waiting. We were not one of the lucky ones. So if I have had all of this trouble why so many star? It will still always be an amazing mixture of students, artists and free thinkers out for a good night with like minded people in a historic venue. There is even a Banksy painted on one side of it's wall. I wish more places would be like this so that we could all fit in!

What -is- this place?!…read more A girl was putting on lipstick in the mirror whilst I was using the urinal trough in the gents'. Another girl was in the toilet stall. The seat of the chair I sat on fell through between the legs as I adjusted my bum on it, and the stage was set with a massive light-festooned heart and a fabric vag the size of a sofa. Admittedly, this happened to be on the night of The Vagina Monologues performance and the crowd was teeming with lesbians and feminists, so that might explain the decor. I figure that the booze is typically cheap and that the space is just as grotty for any other event. The beauty of it is that's all it's meant to be - no more and no less. ---- As an aside... how does one punctuate the gents'? Gents? Gent's? Gents'?
