What Visitors Say
I recommend this place for a great girls night out , fun date night experience or unique birthday gift experience. Definitely book to be on the bottom not the balcony to be emerged in the show, you will not regret it!
Loved this place, we went to see the show sabrage and every minute from entering this venue was excellent, the staff are fabulous as are the cocktails and also the dj after the show played some excellent tunes and bongos. The show sabrage was one of the best ive seen this year, so much fun, the prosecco and food was perfect, thank you for such a wonderful entertaining evening.
Great venue. We loved sabrage show on a Sunday afternoon. High octane and so much naughty fun. So easy to get in and out. The stage was very close to the audience.
I recently watched SABRAGE at Lafayette, and overall it was a great show with fantastic performances. The cast worked incredibly hard and it really showed — every performer gave 100%, and their energy, skill, and dedication made the night very entertaining. There was also nice interaction with the audience throughout the show, which kept the atmosphere lively and engaging. I genuinely appreciate the performers’ effort and professionalism. The only thing I personally wasn’t so keen on was the strong focus on sexual themes. That style isn’t really my thing, so parts of the show didn’t resonate with me as much. However, I still recognise that it was well-executed, and many people around me were clearly enjoying that aspect. Despite that, the overall experience was fun, vibrant, and memorable, and the performers truly deserve credit for putting on such a high-quality, entertaining show
Recommendation: @Sabrage - Lafayette London This was so much fun. Top show. Loads of laughter. Expect unexpected. Just mind blowing. Would watch again ;) @sabrageshowldn @lafayettelondon
