Cc Blooms - Edinburgh, City of

Doormen were rude, unpleasant really let this place down. We left after one drink, as would rather spend time money somewhere our group were treated with dignity respect. Would not recommend.

We were in Edinburgh as a group of six; mixed ages and sexuality. We went here to check out the gay scene and have a boogie. I really liked the club itself; the decor and atmosphere were great. The drinks were mostly ok but their soda machine thingy broke and the fizzy mixers were an issue. We had bottled mixers instead so easy fixed, although we were give gin and soda instead of tonic in one round. They changed them quickly though so no real bother. We danced to some fun music and met some great people. I heard some girls doing coke in the toilet (from the toilet seat I saw when I used the loo after them but i guess this is the norm these days no matter how much searching bags etc you do in the doors. I felt a bit awkward about it but hey each to their own. I’m a bit older than the typical clientele here and although there was a mix I’d say the average age is around 20. I would have adored this place in my 20’s!! All in all a good night but deffo one for the younger generation (as all clubs are I guess!!

Extremely rude and racist doorman. We visit Edinburgh with my partner and try to get in and doorman was extremely rude like he doesn’t want any customers. He ask for covid pass and when we said we don’t have he said that he needs to follow the rules. The. We went to next door bar and no one ask for anything and we had an amazing night.

Drinks were good and bar staff were great but the door staff were incredibly rude and obnoxious. They did not possess any customer service skills and should really work on their communication skills. Would not recommend a visit to CC Blooms after our experience last night.

Well I decided to go for one drink and was refused entry and asked how long I’d been out by the door staff. I informed the door staff I’d just come out the now and hadn’t had a drink. I’m a former staff member from years ago and have noticed a massive change. This would have been my first night out in 2 years and I only wanted two drinks at the most. I attended smart and sober. I simply said that’s really weird like and just walked away. I will be calling the bar tomorrow to ask how this can be dealt with in the future as I felt there was no solution or point arguing. I did try to contact the bar by telephone however no answer or no voicemail could be left. I’ll definitely wouldn’t recommend going in sober as you’ll be rejected! Point of exercise of going out was to phase back in to going out again due to covid restrictions. I asked if there was a queue to form as I didn’t know the procedures to follow and there was also people standing at the door to the right hand side which I wasnt sure if that was the queue to stand to maybe track and trace etc. I’ll be sure to call tomorrow to report this. The attitude from the door staff was bizarre. Shame as it’s really money lost due to the bouncers dislike for me it seemed.
