Venus review
Venus manchester photo***Updated December 2009***
Venus are moving on from their longstanding home, Club V, and will be opening their own club, called Venus, in early 2010. The move comes seemingly unexpectedly, with them having to re-plan their New Year’s Eve night, which was due to be held in Club V, now taking over Spektrum, above Sankeys. The new club, dubbed Venus The Club, will be on Blackfriars, just round the corner from Club V.
________________________________________________________
The mainstay glam night out in Manchester, at the intimate Club V, Venus has been the favoured destination by clued-up clubbers for as long as we can remember, and its popularity never seems to wane. Musically you're looking at funky vocal house - Think Hed Kandi et al - in a recently refurbished venue.

The crowd is well dressed and up for dancing, spurred on by the constant battering of 'classic' tunes - even the most leftfield music lovers would start toe tapping in this place!

Venus opens their doors at 10:30pm and shuts them not long after. Arrive early, dress well and you'll get in no problem. If you're going down with a large group of friends then consider splitting up to guarantee entry.

An excellent dance club - great for dancing and having a great time - excellent clientele due to a real life door policy not just based on whether you have a pair of trainers on or not!

With Dave on teh door and behind the scenes this new venue is fantastic with excellent multi-level dance floors for multiple fun.

Excellent back light dj booth provides a good like vibe to accompany the laser show.

wicked chill out room in the back with various rooms and comfortable leather chairs/booths.

ALL ROUND A VERY GOOD NIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DANCE TO UPLIFTING TUNES.

Went to Venus for wifes b/day and after reading reviews was nervous but even tho doorstaff are a bit serious we got in (6 of us) and 2 more later on. We did put ourselve on G/list but dont know if that mattered. Overall we had a great night and the peeps inside were friendly. I was led to belive there was two rooms playin diff music but THis was NOT the case! My rating on this place is 7/10.

to be totally honest i think venus is a total waste of money...u mite as wel jus put on galaxy 102 at home n pop ur own pills....staff need training PROPERLY....wouldnt be surprised if it gets shut down anytime soon as its a dump!...i usually love clubs like this too

yeah the door staff really are muppets,,,work in a warehouse during the week....then get power drunk on being able to say NO to decent people. the bald muppet who trys it on with every woman, even when shes with her partner really does need a slap..so to the big fat summo wrestler...Don't waste your time.

can see your user name when you leave comments! Why are you having a conversation with yourself? Bitter? If you sound anything like you do on the computer (ie.swearing and not exactly lady like!) when you're in person I can understand why you don't get in and it's thanks to them rejecting people like you that decent clubbers can enjoy a truly great night in there. Have always loved Club V and will be continuing to go there, have never had any problems at the door and don't worry if your are thinking of going just dress well and be friendly and you will be fine. peace, the hecienda is dead long live manchester!

went there last sat (16 jan 10), is dave the old gay guy? didnt see him but alot of the regulars that go were there and the night was class as per at club v/venus what ever its called now. as for the doorman, yeah iv been out there smoking when thier knocking people back (and on occasion being rude and knobs) but i suppose if it wern't for them doin that there would be scaly's and fights right left and centre and i might as well be in the printworks. not intrested in the politics just somewhere to go thats safe, and a wicked night out for a clubber in manc :)

fine, remove my gloat at plastic dave walking away from club v - check the website, he is history. Club V is free from the reign of a tyrant.

GoshReally Shocked! Suprised! by the reviews..I used to go clubbing alot in Manchester [ Peruvia & paradise factory being my favourite places of all time, with a little bit of danceteria thrown in when feeling brave and wanting to stay dancing, while remaining anonymous in a dark club]
Fantastic unique atmoshere! intimate club, DJ who really wants to be there and is intent on keeping the people happy and involved,like minded people with a alot of class thrown in.....and respectable door policyand and door men..VENUS I went there in June for the first time and had the time of my life, it was all the above and had Brandon Block as a guest DJ,What more could anyone ask for??..Going next week and fully expect another outstanding night, i've got no apprehension about going and I would say to anyone JUST MAKE SURE YOU GO EARLY, DRESS NICE, STAND IN THE QUE PATIENTLY, AND LOOK LIKE YOU ARE READY FOR THE BEST NIGHT EVER....Good Luck

Great club when you can get in. The big, ugly bald bouncer is an absolute knob. Myself and my boyfriend have tried a couple of times and he wont budge. We did manage to get in one night though. Perhaps because that knob bouncer i mentioned earlier wasnt on the door. Who is dave anyways????

had a graet time in venus, really nice people loved the music going again in sept . All my mates loved it to. Girls from Liverpool

Never had a problem getting in venus. Always found Dave really friendly. Not been in for a coupke of years so will make it a challenge to get in in the next couple of months to let you know if all the gossip is true but very much doubt it is.

Top club! (when you get in), they are well harsh on letting in. Seems you've got to play a little game every time you go to the door - the bald guy he say no! then ask dave he um's and ar's, ask him again he say yes! then bald bouncer gives you a warning "dont grab the girls!," "its not that kind of place" or something stupid like that - tell me knob head, where is? i'll go there instead. top tunes though so its always worth a try.

top place not been for years but glad dave is still there. Such a friendly place and always so welcoming. venus rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used to go in,my mate started dating a guy whose known as Tony Tee, she finished with him, so he had her barred so watch out for him ladies! And i hope he reads this! and dave, and the doorman! because i bet he didn't tell them the reason she dumped him! but i might! in fact, I might tell EVERYONE !

Venus is an AMAZING club!! Dave the promoter keeps all the riff raff out. (Unlike alot of clubs in Manchester that let all the gangsters in!) People who have left bitter messages on here are talking out of their bottoms. It's well worth queueing up for!!

ur still as big an arse then dave! im suprised you dont melt down there what with all ur surgery!

I've been clubbing for 15 years and this is one of the best clubs I've ever been too. It has a proper happy firndly vibe that lasts till the end. Danced and chatted with loads of sound people. Most clubs have lost the buzz but this place keeps it small, intimate and real.... Delmonte, the man that likes to say 'YES'.

Yep. The doorstaff at fast arseholes who profess in depth knowledge on house music. Never go back and put money in the coffers of a place with doorstaff like that. Cunts Plus the aircon needs sortin

I think its not fair that you arn't allowed in this club without a membership, as me, my bf and 2 other couples from Liverpool tried 2 get in last year but they said 'no' which I think was abit harsh seeing as how Garlands r always letting the Mancs into their club! I think that Garlands should start a door policy where if u r a Manc then ur not coming in. As its only fair because its what Venus do to the Scousers.
