Dando made me a mojito and it was the best of my life, my tastebuds exploded. 10/10 will go back

Went to the Crash of Moons Club, and saw three bands including Chopchop and The Brackish, who were excellent. Nice venue, high ceilings, excellent sound, reasonable price bar though quite limited options. The toilets weren't great with no lock on a door that didn't close easily and no toilet paper. In spite of that I would happily return for more Crash of Moons Club!

Super cool vibe, went with some mates for a chill drink session. Got to play some ping pong in there too. Really amazing aesthetic, would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff and great cocktails!

Nice cocktails - not super busy. Older, classier crowd than elsewhere.

Really enjoyed the night in the ball room. Be careful in the back tables though. Those tables have holes everywhere.

had a really great night here! the staff were all lovely and friendly, the decoration was gorgeous and the drinks were amazing and decently priced for cocktails. loved the idea of ping pong tables too! very much appreciated as well that when we (a group of young girls) were approached by men twice our age, the staff and bouncer came to make sure we were all okay. we really enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful evening out!!

Thanks so much for making my 30th birthday party so special.The venue was very accommodating from making my own bespoke cocktail menu, the brilliant bar team and the DJ mixing tracks from multiple playlists.Highly recommend and couldn’t have been better!Thanks again team Ballroom!

Great place, the staff is friendly the ambience is nice, the DJ was brilliant. It would be 5 stars if they served Martinis.

Went here during a 30th birthday night out around 9pm. 19/02/22Drinks were really nice. Wife and I had a cocktail (I had a mocktail). Both well made.Question is, would I go back and the answer is no. Much better places in Canterbury that can offer a good cocktail as that's all this place has to offer, service was good though.There was zero atmosphere, plenty of bums on seats but that was it. It felt like a family wedding and uncle Dave jumped on the decks and plugged in his Spotify playlist. Dj was bland. The music was more of an inconvenience, loud enough to be heard but not enough to sound out the chatting from all around. Dull and boring.Won't be rushing back. Canterbury has much better to offer.

Door staff extremely rude, with a power trip.Tried to enter around 9.00pm on Saturday night, when told we weren't the right clientele?Was 4 of us and was a small birthday celebration with 2 friends and my girlfriend, we'd been next door to bramleys cocktail bar and a few other nicer establishments around town, wanted to end the evening with a dance at ballroom, to then get insulted and deterred away, along with singling out my brown friend that he wasn't in dress code? He was in shirt, allsaints jacket, green chinos, and smart trainers. This wasn't first time we had issues with the head door man, probably not the last. If your clientele isn't a diverse mix of late 20s to early 30s working professionals, being bar manager myself, teacher, programmer and scientist. God I'd like to know who's allowed in the venue.I'd avoid this establishment, there's many better options in town, for a pleaseant night out where you won't be insulted by door staff when trying to enter.
