You won’t ever be disappointed with this show. Gin House Burlesque producers put all their heart and passion into these nights and it shows!!! You will get to see the best artists performing in an immersive show while enjoying a drink served by very friendly staff. While there are many burlesque shows options in town, this one is a very unique and special one and every cabaret lover should see it. I highly recommend Gin House Burlesque shows!!!

The most glamourous night of my entire life! As soon as I stepped inside I was just bedazzled. The first section was down in the stunning bar area with a tiger leaping through the drinks display. I couldn't believe the ladies were able to dance so beautifully on top of the bar! And one of the costumes landed on the tiger! Such skill! And it was such a fun idea as everyone got a great view from around the bar. The singing and costumes were also exquisite. So much thought and originality has gone into this production. There was also plenty of breaks in between for us to nip to the ladies upstairs and re apply the red lipstick. There was a hilarious comedienne in the basement and then a wonderful Revue in the Polar Bear Room upstairs. It was full of a glamourously dressed, delighted audience and everyone I spoke to had the best time.

An absolutely brilliant evening out. The wife was a little apprehensive when we arrived as it looks like run down pub but that's part of its persona. Once inside and once the show started it was awesome. Salty David Jnr and the girls were utterly fantastic, along with that magicians made it a night out.

What a fantastic show! I took my mum to see Gin House burlesque for her birthday and we had a wonderful time. The staff who guided us around the venue were very friendly, the host was charming and the performers were spectacular! The venue itself is gorgeous, with vintage decor and giant taxidermy animals on every floor. A great night out for anyone who loves cabaret and burlesque.

The atmosphere has a great buzz. The girls are gorgeous and so talented. All of the guests were brilliant too including a magician who I still am trying to work out how he did what he did!Fantastic night out would 100% recommend.

What a show! From start to finish this was one of the best collection of performances that I have ever seen! It had everything from comedy to glamour and all in between! Would definitely recommend to burlesque-lovers and people interested to see a great first show alike!

Wow, what a night! A truly immersive experience.The bar was almost hidden, it looks like a dilapidated pub from the outside but you walkthrough the doors and you are transported into another time of decadence and indulgence.We had a couple of top notch Negroni's just before the show started, which we sipped to a piano soundtrack being performed brilliantly by a top hatted gentleman. Really set the tone.The first set of performances happened in the bar, introducing us to the evenings performers and several routines which were all amazing. All the dancers were beautiful and their outfits were magical! I don't want to go into too much detail and give it all away but it was fabulous.You are then guided through the venue, down to a basement for magic & the upstairs, through rooms of multiple performances from international burlesque performers.So much thought, preparation and talent must go into each of these shows, I heard that they change the performers regularly so I look forward to my next visit to see more from The Gin House crew!

A thoroughly entertaining evening the likes of which I’ve never experienced before! The burlesque acts were stunning, such beautiful costumes and elegant dancers. The host kept us entertained and laughing in between performances. It was fun being guided through the various rooms of the very unique venue where the acts were performing. Such a well crafted concept! I can’t wait to go again!

Honestly this was a very disappointing experience.It was badly organized; the bar tenders were too few and poorly trained (I heard a lady ask for a vodka martini, which they said they couldn’t make - it’s vodka and vermouth in a glass) yet they have an incredibly well stocked and beautiful bar, just bartenders that can’t make simple drinks; there is absolutely no seating unless you buy the more expensive package either - which was sold out when we booked.The place was packed, uncomfortably so. There were too many people in my opinion. It was impossible to move around the bar area.So we stood for nearly 4 hours.And in those 4 hours, we saw 5 shows. One of which was a man doing a comedy skit but was interrupted due to the ceiling starting to leak - so it was stopped, and we were ushered back upstairs to stand.The other 4 shows were 3 minutes of ladies dancing. Which was lovely. But that’s all we saw in 4 hours.We were ushered upstairs for one 3 minute show, then back downstairs to stand around again.Then there were two more shows in the main area on the bar.Eventually my husband and I had enough and decided to call it a night and leave because we got bored and tired of standing around for mediocre entertainment.There was no ladies toilet, we were told to use the gents toilet, which was weird.Again, it all just felt badly organized and like no one knew what was happening half the time. It was supposed to start at 8:00pm and only kicked off later than this, so again, more standing around….Just…a big no from me.I only gave it two stars because the ladies I did get a glimpse of were dressed beautifully and danced wonderfully for the 5 seconds I saw them.
