I attended Sutra on their launch night on Saturday 13th March. Entry was free before 10PM but it did not open till 10PM - therefore creating a huge queue. I queued for nearly 2.5 hours with no success - I was unable to get in as they were at full capacity when I reached the front.
There was no communication from staff or the security - who just claimed not to know what was going on. I found them all to be quite unprofessional and rude. Despite the fact that people were getting in with t-shirts at about 10PM they changed their dress code to shirts and blazers only at 11PM! When I did get to the front it was a free for all and it was very dangerous.
The management clearly have no respect for the people who attend and no regard for their safety.
Sutra is a brand new concept based in Whetstone (N20, North London). The venue will break the mould by offering a revolutionary clubbing experience in a suburban setting. With a capacity in excess of 500, clubbers will be presented with a diverse variety of entertainment, innovative gimmicks, London’s best DJs and a string of celebrity appearances. In addition, we have already secured tie ups with some internationally renowned fashion brands and have secured a media deal with KISS 100 Radio. With a vastly experienced PR & marketing team behind the project, we fully expect Sutra to gain huge exposure and have a massive impact on the nightlife industry.
