Manchester

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 :)

Great times at V......... Dave in my opinion made that place....legend! Will def be making a trip to his new establishment...onwards and upwards I say

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.

basically if you dont look like a dealer or offer them sum sort of payment YOUR NOT GETTING IN full of wreck eds raving! sh!t hole too!

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

wats goin on at venus? went along cos heard it is a good nite
to b turned away by some rude arrogant bald piece of shit!

as puzzled as you r, im a girl to but wouldnt let me in either, and just like you im far from being a lout, dont understand

total agree with you! went down 1 night just me and a friend to be greeted by this very rude bouncer who would not let us in either! oh by the way he was bald and a knob!

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.

What is the dress code on a Saturday night please anyone?

yeah the bouncers r nightmares, hardly look or behave like a lout, im a woman by da way, wouldnt let me in i was with 1 other friend, i was gutted, can any 1 help

When is Hed Kandi on?

i loved v- last sat on the 1st of may 09 i want 2 do that nite again lol there's 1 person i would like 2 c lol?

Stil the nicest and friendliest club in city centre!

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.

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 !

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'.

Hi Anonymous,

Photos from Fridays StudioOne11 are up in the gallery section, note that Venus is on Saturdays and Fridays at Club V are called StudioOne1

Are the photos being put up from last Fridays night out in Venus soon ?

venue is a great club apart from dave who is an asre as are some of the doorstaff. ive been going since 2002 and all of a sudden in the last 12 months the door staff have been saying 'no' and dave supports it. they are turning away genuine people who want a night out and letting in 16 yr olds. venus - have some loyality

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.
