Great night there started off over the road at a bar called the retreat and finished it off here. was amazing. me and all my friends had a brill night. massive club feels like being in london or manc. great music and great set up they got going on there. Staff were sooo friendly, read some of the reviews on here and dont know where the bad ones are coming from. think they went to a different club coz bouncers were chatty and friendly, maybe you were a bit too drunk :-)
anyway well worth a visit to see for yourself. Free entry to NUS holders get in!
Absolutely dreadful place! I went there with a friend and had one of the worst times ever. The clientele are just down right nasty, I had ice chucked at me, the security did not care when I complained and neither did the manager. I will not be returning there ever. Avoid!
Avoid this place, complete rip off. They have a so called deal where you can buy a wristband for £25 where you get entry and 10 drinks included. If you ask for a spirit and mixer, you only get the mixer. Very inconsistent on what drinks are covered.
Have been told by one of the bar staff that management have this policy. (basically people are probably too drunk to notice - therefore rip them off).
It is a recession after all - club has to make profit but not from me!!
I was very upset by flamingos. Last night i paid £13 to have a night out at flamingos. I felt optimistic until they let all my friends in and disallowed me even though I merely had two glasses of wine. I proved I could walk in a straight line and repeat the alphabet. I believe their system of letting people in is appalling. At GCSE achieved 7A*'s and 5A's and despite this I can’t enjoy a night out even if people younger than me who have drank more than me can.
After being discriminated against i asked if I could speak to the manager but they refused to allow me. Once I got home I once again I rang up and asked to speak to the manager but they did not allow me. I am still currently trying to get hold of flamingos yet they have not replied. Very disappointed at this club and service and would recommend people to stay clear.
I would rate this at minus 10 however the lowest it will allow me to rate is at 1 star.
Went to Flamingos with the bf and a mate on New Year's Eve, as we'd had a good time there last year.
Although the club has been greatly improved since last year the night was a bit of a let down.
The host for the evening was drunk and liked the sound of his own voice on the microphone and thought it entertaining that we watched him kiss another chap on stage....it wasn't!
The farcical point of the night was when he said we were going over 'LIVE' to Big Ben for the countdown.....it was obvious to see this was a recording - the words 'DVD' and 'Play' displayed on the screen gave it away! To top it all the 'LIVE Countdown' was over 3 minutes late.....they only had to get one thing right on the evening and they couldn't even do that.
I've always had a good night in Flamingos, depending how I'm feeling there are 2 arenas to choose from. Went to the re-opening night of arena 1 on the 18th December and it's a massive improvement!! More room, more bars and just looks a lot more modern. The DJ always seems to get the music spot on for a fun night out! Great value for money, even if they haven't got the wrist band deals on (drink the bar dry) they always have good offers on. You know it's a good night by the amount of straight people that go there. Love it!
Went to flamingos for the first time oct ..well what a brill night went to see a local singer songwriter from Bristol electro pop..lewis winter...he was brill, all in all a good night..good club highly recommended
WOW - visited Flamingos on the night after the Bristol Pride after a period of absence and what a night. The club is now looking amazing, particularly the House room towards the back of the club which has undergone a fantastic re-decor and lighting and sound refit. It now feels like you could be out clubbing in London. The dance floor was packed all night and the music was amazing and the crowd were hot!! Loving it and really friendly. A great atmosphere and congratulations to whoever it was who put up all the amazing decoration for the night BURN. It looked wicked. Have never seen so much effort go into a club night in Bristol. Even the chart dance floor was great fun and it is so good that Flamingos have now sorted out all of their toilets and added extra cubicles which all look really smart and saves having to queue all the time. Loved it, looking forward to heading back again this month for a good dance.
