If you're going out to get cheap drinks, then go to Wetherspoons.
I went for their Hallowe'en event, it was excellent! A great and friendly crowd, fantastic DJ and awesome atmosphere. People have complained about the staff on here, personally I don't chose the clubs I go to because I hear they have bouncers and bar tenders that always smile, it's for the atmosphere and social aspect. My friends and I had a quality time, danced with loads of randoms and didnt leave the floor all night.
No, the drinks aren't on the cheap side but you expect that of London clubs, don't go straight there as soon as you get into town, go to a few pubs & bars first to make up for it.
I can only recommend this club, I was sceptical of going due, to reviews on here, but it was one of the best nights out I've had in London so far!
Go to Punk!

if you wish to have your booking cocked up, be heavily insulted by door staff who overate their very mediocre, overpriced bar then this is the place for you! i have never bothered to write a review before but feel so strongly about the rude staff that i decided to. it amazes me that any club can be so rude to people and still be succesful, i hope that people eventually abonden places like this and the owners get what they deserve!

Nice decoration, good drinks, but definitely overrated , expensive for the quality, nice music for 30 mins but, after that you listen the same hits over and over again.....lack of originality in the music. I have to admit i had a great night out there, but just because we had a few drinks b4 and it was a birthday....I would recommend it for a young and amateur crowd...you will have a blast, but for the same money you'll spend there, you might as well try some other west end clubs.

As I arrive to Punk on Saturday night on August 16, 2008 I see doormen who tend to look self-important making a decision whether to let me and my friend in. I am laughing inside thinking the people on door are young and transparent giving away the information that the place is probably empty and has low standards. My intuition is telling me don't go there...but I want to please my friend who read good reviews...Indeed as we enter Punk the place is empty and it looks grabby. On a deeper level, the place is a cheap copycat version of Sketch but ends up looking as a student pad, chaotic, undefined and smelly. We are informed that the place serves only ‘double’ gin and tonic. We are left having no choice over what product we buy and feeling pressured instead. Is it legal? We are looking for a place to sit down and notice that all tables are marked as ‘reserved’. In the end we see a table which is free. We are sitting down drinking our gin and tonic and we are watching the only group of other people in Punk except us. The adolescent looking boys are dressed in their fathers’ jackets and the adolescent girls in their mothers’ wardrobe. Few minutes later we are approached by a waitress who is asking us to leave the table in passive aggressive manner, as it is apparently reserved despite the place being completely empty. We try to reason with her feeling confused what makes her pressure us to leave the table since it is not marked as reserved and she tries to convince us it is not her poor customer service skills but rather the management who created the rules. We ask to speak to the manager and ‘the table manager’ seems to give us the same explanation but at least agrees that we can finish our drink. I am still not convinced that I would ever employ these people to work for me to treat my business this way. These people clearly have no concept of how to run a business and in this sensitive market period they are heading for a disaster. On the other hand, us customers

I very much enjoyed my time down at Punk last night. The queue moved quickly, with very competent door men who greeted you with a smile on arrival (a rarity).. walking down the steps into the club, there was already an air of excitement surrounding the place, with music luring us into the venue. To the left of us, a very adequately sized bar, well staffed, and we were served almost immediately, despite the fact that the venue seemed to be close to capacity. Music was great; a complete mix-mash of everything. Nobody seemed intimidated by what was being played, and the dance floor was more than alive at 11pm. Again, something you usually don't see in clubs until 2am. Everybody had a smile on their face.. I had a smile on my face looking at the decor, which seemed well thought out and pleasing to the eye. The toilets were clean, with the attendants friendly rather than just trying to hassle you for a tip. No guilt trip involved, in fact, the attendants made you feel like you had known them for years. Turns out I did know one of them, but that's another story. Drinks were reasonably priced, despite the central London location of the club. I bought a mojito cocktail, which was made effeciently, and tasted absolutely delicious. And it didnt' break the bank, either! Phew, as it turned out I had lost my bank card on the tube, so all I had was the notes I had in my wallet from a recent trip to an ATM earlier in the day. I'd spent a little bit of money on a chorizo sausage sandwich in a Soho cafe beforehand, but, let's not stray from the subject. Overall, I had so much fun at Punk and can't wait to get back there again! I just wish I hadn't of gone home on my own.. I was so certain I was gonna pull.. better luck next time, eh? Probably could smell the chorizo on my breath from the sandwich. Tip for Punkers: (a new word I've just coined) don't eat sausage before you go out! Anyway.. Punk. Great times. Check it out!

I went to punk a few weeks ago because i heard agyness deyn goes there and she is my idol (i know its sad but hey at least im being honest). Its very small and not very nicely decorated but i have to say we had a really good night. The music was awesome, they played all those old skool dance classics which i love and random songs i hadnt heard in ages. Not at all pretentious, really laid back and friendly. Everyone talks to eachother and dances with strangers etc. I asked the DJ to play some commercial music and he actually did!! Which I didnt expect :D Definitely recommended for a relaxed, dress down night out.

Went there last night. The music was wiked, so dofferent fromt he normal boring rnb you get at most clubs. Its a small club but thats what makes the great atmosphere. The only downside was that the drinks are quite expensive, so its best to drink before you get there. Even though I broke the sofa it was a really good time. Recomend going.

I've been living in London for the past 9 weeks and for all of the nights that I have gone out, I must say that Punk was possibly my most memorable night. My only complaints: the drinks were slightly overpriced, but nothing too appalling. We somehow dodged the cover, so that made up for the price of drinks! The crowd was friendly and fun and the DJs were awesome! They were enjoying the music as much as I was. Even a certain unnamed celebrity showed up for an on-stage rock performance. Since I'm not from the UK I had no idea who she was and my friends and I ended up dancing with her in the middle of her show! All of this craziness on a Tuesday night! If you are stuffy, predictable, and pretentious you will hate Punk. If you like to dance, socialize, and know how to enjoy yourself with your friends (as many people who review clubs don't and expect to be entertained) then Punk is great.
