The Steel Yard, Arch 3

First time here, I'm amazed how there's not more nights that cater for a wider audience. It's such a great venue for music and I went here for a day party over the Easter weekend. Was a lot of fun! It's right by cannon street station, central and just super easy all round. Would highly recommend it if there's a night you have in mind 💯 Staff were nice and overall had a solid time (sorry for a lack of photos, tells you how enjoyable the night was) A***** LDT x

A venue I have visited a couple of times in the past and always had an eye to go again. My most recent visit was for an underground dance music festival teaser party and I was blown away by what is possible at this venue. As an event goer its a great venue, large, several rooms, clean and efficient systems of service to minimise queues. The entrance proceedure is a bit like an airport with very thorough searches of bags, shoes and self - the team are very good at their job! And once inside, you know you are safe. Reasonable prices and the bar staff were incredible, friendly and HATS OFF to the venue manager who went out of her way with a kind attentive gesture to refill my water to save me queueing. I already thought it was an amazing service and when I asked her position and heard the "venue manager" had done such a task I was blown away. Absolute respect for this. Ive been in 100+ venues and never has a manager been so present, kind and considerate to the punters. As an event organiser this space is a beautiful blank canvas with 1000 possibilities, very well run and I can only imagine a very professional service. Well done Steelyard - IMO you are 1000x better than E1. Keep doing what you're doing. Highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆

Good venue but security were disgusting. Rude, obnoxious and completely over the top. Searching every guys shoes at the door?! They would shine torches into the faces of extremely vulnerable people on the dance floor and perform random searches, with no probable cause. Given the type of events hosted here, this could go sideways very quickly and cause serious mental harm. This was not a safe and welcoming environment. Absolutely terrible.
