    4 Stars I Love The Ministry 22/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wicked music and a great vibe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very pricey

    After reading everyone else's opinions on the Ministry and finding that they mostly didn't find it too pleasing I thought that I better stand up for it and give my experience of it. I've only ever been once but it was a great night and a great weekend. So, if you're sitting comfortably then I'll begin... The whole reason that I got to go the Ministry was because one of my mates had entered into a DJ competition and got through to the finals that were to be held, yes you've guessed it, at the Ministry itself. And, because he didn't have a girlfriend at the time, he invited me to accompany him ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I was always dying to go to Ministry right through my teens and I finally got the chance to go. I heard people at work talking about it and at university and they all were saying how good it was and I was so looking forward to it. Well oh my god did I get the shock of my life when I went. Ministry of sound is based in Central London near Elephant and Castle tube station on the Northern line and is a short walk away. When we arrived there was no queue and we just went straight in. It was a friday night and was £8 for students and members and £12 for any one else. Now I thought £8 was very good ... more

    1 Star The misery of sound 22/02/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages the Babybox

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor nights, no atmosphere, poor access, unfriendly staff.

    What a corporate hellhole this is! If you want clubbing to be staid and predictable, this is the place to go. On a kinder note, this venue may have been innovative at the start of the 90s but it just looks so passe darling. Let's set the scene, it is situated down a non too salubrious side street in Elephant and Castle - not a very easy location to get back from in the middle of the night. You go through the entrance, into the bar room - rectangular in shape with a guess what! a bar running lengthways across. There is a video screen playing some nonsensical film which doesn't correspond to the ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages what advantages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages didnt you raed the above? where do i start?

    OK, before I start getting seriously stuck into dissing the Ministry, I just want to clarify two things. For one thing, the ministry is just a venue so it's perfectly possible that there are some decent nights there, for another I wasn't at the record launch party that the opinionator went to - so,who knows, maybe it was good. However, I can speak from personal experience as to what shak is like and, in fact, what the Ministry is like in general and -to be brutally honest - it really and truelly sucks. The design is so bad that there doesn't seeem to be any one point in the club where people ... more

    3 Stars No Party Groove to it 23/01/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good for pple who have heard loads abt MOS and want to have a look

    Disadvantages Disadvantages non-party9ish atmosphere

    The Ministry of Sound is popular all around the world and internationally acclaimed but I was rather disappointed and rudely shocked at how un-exciting everything was when I finally arrived. I had expected to be greeted by the lights and glitz of a luxury night club but its exterior made the Ministry of Sound look somewhat unfortunately like the Ministry of Garbage. Located near Elephant and Castle I would not have even looked twice at it if I had been a casual visitor to that area. Come to think of it, I probably would not even venture there. The interior looked better than its exterior ... more

    User recommends the product
    I have been to The Ministry Of Sound once. My first impression was how quiet it was , but it soon started to fill up. There are a wide variety of different people who go, not just your average clubbers. The dancers when they came on where excellent, they dance on the very wide bar in the main room, they really give an excellent show. It is not my usual type of club I go to, I would go back again, but would check out the Djs playing first, as the music was not my favorite on that particular night. ... more

    3 Stars Clubbers Paradise 12/07/2000
    User recommends the product
    I have been to The Mistry several times in the past and have always managd to get by. However i am not a serious clubber so it was not realy my scene. The culture is to dress to the max, enjoy the music and do drugs. Drugs can be found inside but are not recommended as they are probably very dodgy. The music is good, 3 main rooms cater for a variety of taste, check out the billing before you go. Prices are high as expected but might be worth it. All the best DJ's have played here and Boy George is the man behind most of the albums. On that line the club is very pretentious and even has its own ... more

    3 Stars could have been so much better! 23/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lights, Sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Prices, too crowded

    Went down to the ministry of sound for the first time last saturday. It was £20 to get in but it would have been £15 if we'd bought in advance. The club opened at 10 and we got there and started queuing at 11 and finally got in at 12. Going in i felt like i was being processed... through different levels of security and then for tickets and then cloakroom. Now to the actual experience... The lights were phenomenal and the music sounded incredible. we got free ear plugs from the bar and stood right next to a subwoofer and felt our whole bodies vibrate! At the time we got in there was exactly ... more

    5 Stars A top night out! 22/06/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sound system, great DJs, great atmosphere.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little exspensive, like most London clubs. Between £10-12 admission. £3 for a beer.

    Ministry of Sound is one of my favourite clubs in London. It has an unbeatable sound system, two large rooms, and the finest DJs of Dance music. The large 'bar' room is spacious and bright with lush decorations. There's a huge bar at one end. The rest of the room is turned into one big dance floor when the place is busy, with the DJ in the middle. Walking through a dark tunnel reveals, 'the box'. This is the main room. Different DJ and music from the bar. This room is dark with amazing lighting, the main sound system and a wicked atmosphere! Be prepared to dance amongst a mixture of people ... more

    Advantages Advantages good nite out on the door step if you live in london.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none really

    only been there a couple of times, a good atmosphere if your into the music. Its a club if you want to do some serious dancing and out for a good time. only down side is if you want to leave early it may be a problem for somepeople to get home. As it being in the area it is in transport can be a problem and the cab can be along wait. overall for myself and my freinds it was a good club and we will be returning in the near distance future for another kicking nite out. i advise people this club is worth a try and alot of people dont, don't knock it till you tried it and on the nite we went it ... more
