Hania Karwowska
3 years agoWorking on a private event in Embargo Republica is nothing but pleasure in a pure form! There has been no wish from our side that Shane and the team were not willing or able to make for us! Everything, from honest pricing, through the whole event identity, was taken care of, while upholding the highest class in industry. I would definitely recommend booking this place to anyone who would like their event to be truly special
Shane Subramony
year agoSo we found this fabulous club in Chelsea and was so happy we decided to go in. Perfect size venue, not too big and not too small - easy to get around, beautiful people (as you'd expect from Chelsea). Terrace bit was really cool as you get a chance to chat and mingle etc. If you want a great night out - I highly recommend this gaff.

2 years agoMy server Lukas was the most hospitable nightclub server I have ever met. The man genuinely made my evening so much better than I could have ever thought it could be. Marcinn his brother I think was also an absolute legend and humoured my friends and I every request even when it was above and beyond what he needed to do. In all one of my favourite club nights in some time and all down to the hard working and incredibly kind staff. Find some more of these guys please!

3 years agoI’ve been in Embargo few times. It’s a Lovely place in Chelsea. Great decor and dancing area. I love the fact there is a smoking terrace where you can smoke or just sit down and have a drink- as there is another bar so no need to go downstairs to grab one. Staff is very friendly, doormen, waitresses and bartenders. Drinks are well presented and taste so delicious. Music is always good. Very positive vibes from staff- especially bartenders. Definitely will come back soon. Definitely recommend this place

year agoRecently celebrated a night at Embargo, Little Havanna room following our wedding…what an amazing venue with incredible staff. Special shout out to Rania who just went above and beyond for us from the first moment we contacted her, an amazing night which we will never forget. Thank you to ALL the staff at embargo who helped make it so special for us!

year agoI used to go to Embargo for a night out in my 20's. I have just turned 50 and decided that I wanted a private party, dancing the night away with my friends who were flying in from all over the world. We met with Rania Milat who is the Sales and Marketing Manager and she agreed to letting us take the whole place over for a night in January 2025. We worked together on the theme and my vision for the night and Rania went ahead and sourced absolutely everything and came up with plenty of other suggestions she thought I might like (spoiler - I loved them all!). I cannot describe how perfectly everything ran, how great of a collaborator she is, especially given that I am not based in the UK so it was all done via WhatsApp. The whole crew who were there on the night from the DJ to the dancers to the musicians to the caterers to the bar tenders to the waiters were on point and all in line with the joyful vibe we were going for. But all the credit really goes to Rania for anticipating absolutely every need - always there to change out my drink, give me a tour of all the little details, collect and store gifts which she then brought to my hotel along with the cake and other mementos from the night. But possibly my favourite "touch" was when my feet could no longer handle my stilettos, she brought me a small carpet to dance on that also fit the theme of the party. I could not imagine this party being any better in any way and the feedback we have received from all of our guests were words like "best party ever" and "what a great venue". Our guest list (160 people) ranged from age 18 to 82 and everything in between, with the majority being 40's / 50's. Most people did not sit down all night (we were there for 8 hours) and were dancing and having the time of our lives. Rania and the whole team put in so much effort on our behalf and I could not be more grateful to them or thankful that we made the decision to go with Embargo Republica as the venue for this party.
