The Silk Road Lounge & Cocktail Bar

Regular in this place most weekends. Staff are friendly and venue is nice. The smoking area I'd always good to socialise and the music is generally enjoyable.
Drinks a but expensive for colchester but to be expected with the late closing time.

Nice shisha bar, woman toilets are super clean and spacious. Cocktails are worth a try, taste amazing. Saturday night you need to pay for entry a fiver even if you just go to the shisha bar.
Place stays open till 5am.

This place is very popular, to be fair as are all the other clubs in Colchester.....as you see the long queues of clubbers waiting for their turn to enter the doors that lead to a fantastic night out!

As the weather changes & the nights get shorter you see the queues get even longer.

Everyone wants a great night out in Colchester.

You can literally club crawl around Colchester Town Centre visiting all the various clubs. ATIK, Yates, Coda, Silk Lounge & lots more.

The music is what I love the most, proper club tunes played loud & proud!

Bring it on.....

I very much highly recommend visiting Colchester for a girls/lads weekend away, you'll not be disappointed.

Age is no limit as long as you're legal to drink of course then even the golden clubbers can have fun too....

Enjoy!!

Love a girl who will always be 25 & dancing. Love as always Justine xXx StyleOutYourHome

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Very highly recommended indeed!! Fantastic place with a range of cocktails & drinks for all tastes. Music is absolutely banging with awesome tunes.

Open until 5am, last man standing on a weekend!

Totally enjoyed my night out.

Waited 30 mins for our shisha coals to be changed. My friend had a button bag from his coat and thus was denied entry. Nice environment but poor service

Nicely decorated, good quality shishas with planty of choice. Average prices. We have been a bit surprised that you have to pay for the entrance, even if you want to have shisha only. However, it's on a weekends only. Overall, good size, nice cocktails, super clean toilets, open till morning on the weekends.

Ps. Gin and tonic was served in the wrong glass. A note for the staff.

NO customer service at all. The security man inside is very rude. We are told that we can only sit very straight on the sofa. We cannot even lay our head on the edge of sofa albeit we just want to relax a while whereas other customers sit very freely. The bartender on second floor keeps staring at us for no reason and this makes us feel super uncomfortable. She even took off my glass even I didn’t finish it! The staff are super RACIST! We will never ever go to this place again. 奉劝各位同胞不要来这家店 他们对亚洲面孔的态度非常非常差

Really good atmosphere. Bouncers were chatty and friendly at the door. Once inside, music was on point. Bartenders were quick to take and deliver orders and staff took empty glasses very quickly.

Great place to go, great music great atmosphere and the staff were brilliant with table service very attentive and friendly, excellent customer service skills!
