 | Frankly we are absolutely astounded by the review left below by Champagnepussytq. We don't profess to know the details of what went on between them and the club, as that is their business, but the fact that they have published a "review" that is inaccurate of our experience of the club, and of our friends who attend the club, makes this worthy of responding to.
Firstly it is probably obvious that any club is going to be quieter midweek than at a weekend, and Le Boudoir also make it clear that single men are permitted, within their customer balance ratio midweek. It is very different on Saturdays when it is strictly men by invite - and this clearly wasn't a Saturday night! So what did the club do wrong there?
Secondly, in our experience, nobody has ever been "herded" into any area of the club. Whether the upstairs was open or not it is highly unlikely that anybody was forcibly made to go downstairs. Maybe as it was a quiet night it would have made little sense to open another floor and thus spread people further apart, but this claim suggests that the club management went around with a whip and demanded people left the lounge area and go downstairs, and is frankly laughable. Obviously they complied :-)
Thirdly the drinks that this couple reference are by the way of mixers in general. This is a bring your own club, as are most, and the drinks are there to be mixed with whatever you bring such as vodka, gin, whisky etc. But if alcohol wasn't on the agenda for this couple then perhaps they could have used some of the ice that is provided to cool down the already cold drink that they must have previously got out of one of the chilled cabinets!
Lastly it is also a requirement of the club that you register interest with them if you want to attend the night. You can't just roll up and expect to get in. That, we suggest, is probably the real reason that they were denied entry. Everyone else has to follow the same rules, and everybody else seems capable of doing so, but it looks like this couple expect the rules to be altered just for them.
We travel up to Le Boudoir from the South Coast. It is quite a trip for us and if we didn't think the club was worth it then we wouldn't make the effort. But we do and this speaks volumes for the quality of the place, the management and the clientale. We have met other people there who have been before and who we are planning on meeting up with again on Sat 6th Feb at Le Boudoir. We can't all be wrong. But then again we don't all subscribe to the Trip Advisor mentality of stamping your feet, writing something nasty and then running away.
