| Well club number 10 of the swinging tour and grateful that we had the company of a couple we've been planning to meet. Every couple we've met have said negative things about the Attic and we can see why. Nevertheless, it was that curiousity in why we added it to our swinging tour. So the place. Wow what a huge place with so much potential and great ideas. We can see why people have reviewed about it not finished. I think the issue is that instead of blocking part of it off and allowing it to grow steadily and then concentrating on getting the decor sorted in stages, they've been extremely keen to get it all available which leaves the sense of half finished, or half hearted efforts. That is not a criticism as it still is good, but we think it could have been executed better. After all the place is massive and not only is it investing money but it's also time and resource. You would need a big hole in your pocket, that's seriously how big it is.
Now if single males is your thing (not that it's ours), then this is your place couples. It is overwhelming in numbers of males so greedy girls will be in the right place. Our criticism is that whilst we appreciate we went on a night when there are single men and expect some to try their luck, it was frustrating that when a door is locked and the curtain closed, it is a pretty clear message. Was extremely disappointed with the single men who watched me and a chap go to get the girls a drink and as we went, tried their luck banging on the doors and trying to gawp through the windows. It might be a swinging club, but that doesn't give you a god damn right to do what you did. Our message was clear. You scared the girls so thank you for taking the shine off the night.
So an honest, mixed review which I hope shows good things about the place and critique which they can consider.
To finish on a positive note. Many of the couples were warm and friendly and the same can be said for the staff who made us feel welcome. A good club, but perhaps not for us but certainly worth a visit if single men is how you swing.
