In hakkasan you will have two experiences - the best night of your life or the worst night. There's no in between.
I came here Thursday 27th August to see tiesto play.
I don't know what the issue is with people saying it took ages to get in but I can only review my experience. Two girls, my friend and I, we arrived there 10:30pm and we were stamped, inside and had a drink in our hand within 5 minutes.
I read reviews about the plethora of stairs before I visited this nightclub. Get a grip people! It's a few flights and yes before you ask I was wearing 6 inch heels!! I sped past people on the stairs who were walking up them like they were climbing Mount Everest and one guy even asked me - how do these stairs not affect you.. One word.. Gym.
Hakkasan is a very small nightclub that consists of 75% tables and very little space to stand. For the first two hours as the nightclub got busier and busier my friend and I were not enjoying feeling so claustrophobic. Luckily we made friends with some kind people who had an amazing table. If we hadn't of found a table to join we would have gone home before tiesto came on, it gets unhealthily crowded and the security shout at people to keep the walkways clear. If you have a table or befriend people with a table you will have one of the best nights of your life, especially if a big headliner is on! This nightclub really doesn't cater to the general public unfortunately and it's very obvious that it's aimed only at people who want to purchase tables.
Luckily for me this was one of the best nights out I've ever been on, tiesto high fived my friend and I and gave us a shot :-)
If you don't have a table booked, or aren't interested in joining someone else's table and you like your personal space then hakkasan definitely isn't for you!
