The name is a good indication of what to expect from this nightspot, with its small, dark interior. But by contrast, it’s not in the least bit oppressive – in fact, it’s the opposite. The bar regularly fills up with lively patrons and caters well for the alternative scene.

Heres a truth about this place, i just came from it. If you're going on weekday dont even bother, theres going to be 20 guys to 1 girl, Nobody was dancing on the floor and DJ was playing Arabic music for the most part even though most of the people were either from Africa or South East Asia. This place might be "buzzing" on a weekend but not a weekday it was a really terrible experience and if you're someone whose looking for a buzzing Dance floor or sensational music I wouldn't recommend you this place at all! However there was a except, after a while a African DJ came on who played a really good mix and got some of us to start dancing but overall it was pretty bad.

I really Enjoyed going Dancing in submarine but Only On Fridays because of da Incredible Dj .Love da music he plays .He is A good asset for the club.But the overall decor need to be changed .The Worse part is the bouncers ,the are the worst ever .you can't dance without them trying to bush u around .I just wonder how we suppose to dance .I was holding my friend by the shoulder dancing and the tell its not allowed and you have to leave a space between the two of you.They really drive me crazy .why don't they get some classes from Sanctuary or 411 clubs . Public Relation and new Decor is what this place Need

i was a regular customer... until the following incident:

i was in the bar with my friend on september 9. We were dancing.. and suddenly one security staff dragged my friend forcefully out of the bar without a word... my friend was shocked and very embarrassed.. me too, it was the most horrible experience of my life as i haven't encountered this type of harrassment (even if it's my friend who was attacked).

To the owner of this club, your customers don't deserve this kind of treatment from your staff... we understand that there are rules (although we were not showing indecent moves on the dance floor to be honest! and we also have our own names to keep as we are working as PROFESSIONALS in the CORPORATE WORLD!) but PLEASE be gentle with your approach and talk to your customer as a professional businessman... keep in mind that we give you LIVELIHOOD and this is how you treat us??? I'm sure there are many incidents like this.. if you don't brief your STAFF, your business will suffer from consequences... for example, YOU LEFT A BAD TASTE ON MY MOUTH AND ME AND ALL OF MY FRIENDS WILL NOT COME BACK THERE, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
