Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Buying the tickets on the website was confusing and we ended up with 1 ticket instead of 2. When the mistake was discovered at the venue, customer service was noticeably absent, and we were made to feel like the culprits. We were expected to “wait and see” if they could accommodate us.
We left feeling disappointed, and out of pocket. To boot, the venue is advertised as one of Melbourne’s historic buildings. It is in fact, rundown and rather decrepit. Ironically, not having a seat, might have been the best part of the night. As an out-of-towner, stay away. They seem to have enough local support that they need not provide customer service when the occasion arises.

Hi Jacques, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Regarding the ticketing issue, we completely understand how frustrating the situation must have been. As explained on the night, we were fully booked, and as was also explained, whilst we were able to seat you, seating your partner required confirmation of no-shows to free up a seat. If you had been able to wait as suggested, we would have been able to seat both of you, as a seat did become available later.
This was an unusual situation for us, and we sincerely apologize if it left you feeling blamed—that was never our intention.
As for the venue itself, we’re proud to host shows in a historic Melbourne space that has been lovingly maintained with its vintage charm. Since you didn’t have the chance to see inside, we hope you’ll consider returning to experience the atmosphere and performances that have garnered us a loyal following. In fact, we’re fortunate to welcome many interstate and overseas visitors who make a point of attending our shows when they are in Melbourne.

We went to the "Burlesque Show" at this lovely little theatre and what a treat. It was very entertaining with a great variety of artists from a magician, singers, comedian and (of course) the strippers. All round it was a great night.
