Had a really disappointing experience. This business shows no professionalism nor demonstrates any morals or ethics. They do not care about the well being of their patrons, the focus is clearly money driven. There was an altercation inside the venue where a man continuously pushed me with all his force, the bouncer was standing in front of us yet did nothing about this man. My partner confronted the man after the third time pushing me, to which the bouncer grabbed my partner and i aggressively and kicked us out. We tried to calmly speak to the bouncers outside, asked them to look at the camera footage as we did nothing wrong - to which they responded by shouting, swearing at us and pushing my partner multiple times. I then tried to speak to a bouncer who continued to forcefully push me in the chest , a 22 year old female, not showing any signs of threat. The bouncers are abusive and know nothing about diplomacy, clearly taking advantage of the “authority” they think they so highly have. Tried to speak to a “manager” to which he responded “I saw the camera footage, i see you did nothing wrong but it’s up to the bouncers.” Uhm last time i checked, a professional business does not leave bouncers with more authority than the manager. Babylon really needs to reconsider their staff and ethical conduct. It’s disgusting.
I’d love to extend the love I have to the OG Babylon The Club in Centurion several years back but unfortunately it’s just not possible. This place is too small, the crowdedness can be incredibly overwhelming, to make matters worse you’ll likely pay an entrance fee and then still face the wrath of overcharged prices on their drinks. For what it’s worth I did have some great nights there but was very few and far between.
If you over a certain age, long que , full club, can hardly get a drink at the bar or move to the bathroom. Bouncers asks for your ID when you are clearly over a certain age and chase you out the que if you don't have an ID. Then they make you apologies to the bouncer to allow you in after he shouts at you for not having your ID. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
Wow after reading these bad reviews I'm two minded about ever going back to this club. I have a few friends down from Dubai and was looking forward to taking them to Babylon but after reading these bad reviews especially about the aggressive bouncers I have changed my mind. What a disappointment.
Easy, safe-ish location, good energy. Gay club, but everyone is welcome! Coat check at the door, 3 individual bathrooms moderately clean during my visit. friendly bartenders, the dance floor seemed relatively picked up as well. I’ll dance here again if I’m back in Joburg;
Been here an few times and it's always awesome. Don't know what's changed there but it left a bad taste in my mouth .I felt so unwelcome & embarrassed bringing new ppl there .The bouncers& ladies at the door were VERY hostile towards us with ID issues we are in our mid 30's zero logic or understanding and MAX hostility. Try Treat ppl with respect and hospitality. We were of no threat,early to the party and hadn't been drinking . Change your attitude and approach. I've literally changed this to 1 star . You guys have had the same review from numerous ppl!! Change the management!!!!!. 12/04/2022: And a copy -paste reply. Need I say more .
This bar has drastically went down in terms of class. Definitely shouldn’t be defined as a gay bar. It is mostly full of arrogant straight men hunting for single females. I have personally been physically attacked at this place twice by homophobes. Not to mention how extremely unsafe this area has become, people are constantly being robbed waiting for Ubers. Drinks are extremely expensive, the dance floor is so tiny and you can barely enjoy yourself without someone complaining you’re bumping them. VIP tables are a joke and the price cannot be justified. They also usually try and prolong the lines so you can also pay the entrance fee. Worst gay bar in JHB, pity it is the only one.
I cannot stand the manager, Brandon. He is not fit to run a business and has absolutely no business-sense or expertise. He is unprofessional, childish, rude, standoffish, and dismissive. I lodged a claim of abuse against a bouncer with the manager, and Brandon, the so-called “manager”, dismissed me and attempted to reject my opinion and gaslight me into thinking that the bouncer, against whom my complaint was lodged, was not at fault. It did not work. When I refused to oblige in his misled and antediluvian opinion, he kicked me out of his club. He is a child. I will NEVER attend this club again. It is in the best interests of the shareholders to reconsider their manager. You do not want someone who dismisses clients’ abuse, complaints, or hurt. This is the most revolting service I have experienced in years.
Definitely one of the best gay bars I've been to internationally. Only thing is it can get overcrowded. Friendly staff. Cheap, strong, drinks. An amazing night in Joburg you won't soon forget. :
Unfortunately, this space has been taken over by the straights. To be clear, there are gay ppl, mainly tourists and gay staff, but the overwhelming number of young girls, and their male partners, who trying to be different by going to a gay club, makes the gay clientele an after thought. The high cost of admission is also a deterrent for any level of diversity. Bottom line, if you are 27 and younger, give it a try, all other gays may be dissatisfied. O yeah, the music is outdated and disjointed.
