  Horrible staff and horrible entry experience – with a 20 entrance fee (rip off.)I was absolutely shocked by the service and attitude received from the staff at the entrance of Cargo aggressive, rude and argumentative.I just paid 20 to get in – I waited for a receipt for proof but wasnt given one by an already rude girl at the entrance / transactions desk who was hurrying me along.I had to come back out briefly to speak to half of my friend group who were deciding they didnt want to go in.Before walking out, I asked one of the bouncers Is it okay if I can go out quickly speak to my friends and come back in? He said it was fine.What a mistakeWhen I returned back another bouncer didnt believed I paid, I tried to prove to him and remind him it was me with what I showed him in my bag during the entry search…. he just automatically said well you still have to pay again if you left – I calmly explained I asked if it was okay to come back, I have paid and I have the card I paid with – all of them seemed to not want to listen to me but wanted me to pay again! forcefully.I realised I could just use my banking app to show the receipt of cargo as proof to them and the rude girl at the front who was taking transactions (In the meantime, this girl was swearing at me and throwing me nasty looks.)Once I found the receipt and showed it to them saying Look I have paid… The guy just ignored me and was annoyed I showed he was wrong.Once I showed the girl at the front and proved to her I paid with my receipt, she responded by telling to me to F*** off wow.In the end, I decided this place was a waste of time and I left in shock of how the staff are there – I understand its there job and they face this kind of drunk / argumentative environment all the time. But even as a calm, paying customer – I cannot believe the kind of service and attitude I got there.Cargo was a nice place years ago and has gone downhill since, including the staff there…Will never even consider going back to this place.

  The Cargo is a fun place to out with friends. It is typical of shoreditch. There is a big outdoor area for smokers but not only them. There are a lot of benches and pillows to lay down on. There are a few bars in the different rooms and each room has its own specific atmosphere. I like to go out in this place on saturday evenings. the entry is 10 but it is worth it. Be carful because it can take a lot of time to get your coat from the cloak room if you arrive when the club closes. The people are nice and the atmosphere is great.

  Cargo is a top choice in Shoreditch. It gets this status from all its unique characteristics. Firstly, it is located underneath a brick bridge and looks very wharehousy trendy from the outside (the bricked theme is then clearly displayed inside and gives the club a lot of character, very fitting to the Shoreditch vibe). This really pleases the touristy crowds. Secondly, the place is in itself huge. It has a vast House Music dancing floor (with a couple of expensive VIP tables jotted around), a more relaxed room (more for drinking and chatting in larger groups as music less a focus, again very spacey), a second dancing room (again, another bar can be found here, music is often a bit more hip hopppy in this particular room) and finally a huge smoking area (extremely well done with alot of wooden seating, heaters, rain protection, etc.). Thirdly, the place is always packed and boasts a great atmosphere (partying young studenty crowds guaranteed). Finally, the music played is often spot on and well varied. In terms of the food, i am unable to give you an opinion as I have never tasted it.My advice: a bit touristy for my liking but definitely as place to visit if you have never been. This is becoming an institution of the east end and attracts vast crowds from all over the world. Enjoy!
