Great for bachelorette parties

by alwaysadiva at Citysearch

A group of about 10 girls and I went to Butterfly High Lounge last night, since it was a bachelorette party they didnt make us wait in line or pay cover, they also gave us a 2 for one deal on champange. Dj was good, the club was busy. All the ppl that were working were really nice. I know I will be back for sure.

Good Food, good music, great people

Had my younger sisters birthday party there this past weekend. Dinner at Yatra (Great food), drinks in casablanca room (250 per bottle of goose, 1 liter not the usual 750ml) and although the club was pretty much empty except for our party (35+ ppl), it was a pleasant experience. The general manager was very professional and helpful. It was a good night and we all had a good time. With the right promoter this place should do well.

• Pros: Great decor, lighting, clean restrooms
• Cons: empty

Don't waste your time!

This place is HORRIBLE!!! I will NEVER go back and neither will any of my friends!! I had a party here and everything went wrong! When I walked in the door I seriously thought I was going to get shot, I'm not sure who their promoter is but the crowd was SCARY. The management and the staff are THE WORST (with the exception of the guys working the door, they are the only ones that deserve to be employed.) Not only did they make my party a COMPLETE disaster but 3 waitresses got sent home in the middle of my party so my guests had to walk out of our private room to the bar, at the nearest bar there was only one bartender and she was clearly too drunk to do her job becuase it was taking nearly 20 min. to get a drink. About an hour before the club closed I believe they fired her and she was crying hysterically and yelling at one of the other employees. Also one of the waitresses that had been sent home misplaced my friend's credit card and it took them forever to locate it. Oh, and the room that we were in had no music in it most of the time, the speakers were obviously messed up and they would play for like a random 10 to 30 seconds off and on. The only good thing I have to say is that the place is decorated well, but its unfortunate that its not living up to its potential. Seriously don't waste your time!

• Pros: door guys, decor
• Cons: terrible staff, gross crowd

Everyone's a star at Butterfly High's bhangra-fueled basement dance club.

In Short
The flagship night spot in London regularly welcomes mega celebs of Bollywood cinema from around the world. Across the pond, club-goers at this basement spot in the heart of downtown come to dance with in-house DJs spinning a mix of Western music (hip hop, R&B and indie), Bollywood-styled tunes (Punjabi MC and bhangra) and Arabic music. The boisterous party is fueled by potent shots, champagne cocktails and signature Bollywoood cocktails like the Long Aamir iced tea.
