I'd have to agree with Dexie there - unless things have changed?

This is quite possibly the worst place I have ever been in and will never return after the way I was treated by one of the most repulsive doormen I have ever had the misfortune of encountering.
I suffer from MS and fatigue is a major problem and you tend to fall asleep in 'inconvenient' places. So I was resting my head on BF's shoulder and fell asleep. yes I had been drinking, actually one of their very expensive/overpriced bottle of bollinger. I was then awoken by this very large intimidating doorman telling me to 'get the F@@K out as this ain't a F@@king hotel'. Calmly I apologised and explained that I had MS and this is part of the disability and we were waiting for a booked taxi. his reply was 'I don't give a F@@k, get the F@@k out' so I then started to speak the same language as him as he obviously did not understand civilised conversation, but this is frowned upon (i'll admit i should not have lowered myself to his level and should not have stuck up for myself in the slightest). This terribly ignorant gentleman could not be reasoned with and refused to let my BF speak with the manager when asked, in view of this he asked the doorman to apologise to me as i was very upset by this and was told to 'F@@k off'.
If you wish to be offended yelled at and possibly even assaulted the this is the place for you.......

Easily the best night out in Guildford - awsome music, we love it. - Best beer boffin could you please tell me what floor the sex chamber is on I cant find it ...
|
visited this venue on a friday night, qued for 40mins paid �5 fow what i am not sure, good music chill out area down stairs orderd two spirit and mixers cost �8.20 i know i am in guildford but ouch. upstairs was very crampt people pushing past every second dance area was good lots of people dancing about seemed to either be full of students or young suited people music was very chavtastic not my thing, i liked the venue itself just to prices i felt were robery especialy after queing foe such a long time for what seemed no reason
|
This place is up for sale,so its not that good me thinks !!!!!!
|
chavc luv
|
Sex Chamber.... Really quite disgusting!!
|
I agree with Julianfabio, the man clearly f***ing loves chicks
|
best late bar in town, great drinks deals, and the top floor bar is a great place to actually talk to someone on a saturday night!
|
Only club in town worth going to.
Excellent mixture of people.
Modern and trendy at the same time.
A few beers worth having on offer.
|
Quite possibly the best venue in town, they have started charging �3 after 11, This has rapidly decreased the queing time and is well worth it,
Its now my regular place to go especially on the weekends, and i dont know why people are complaining that there letting "sexy Girls" in! it makes for a very grown up atmophere and the first floor provides excellent music.
Overall a very trendy sexy venue.
|
The last comment sums this place up.Oiks place so it fills a gap as someone has already said.
And because someone drinks real ale does not make them an "old fart" so please grow up. And fasssssssssst
|
i agree with kegger - not your real name - or all of you ale boffins. old farts this is a great place get a life, live fast, die young .
|
I didn't realise this place was here till this week, mahoosive queue as we came down from the King's on Saturday which was an arse.
loved the place and the crowd.
Although the dj upstairs should have been taking lessons from the two guys playing in that downstairs bar.
Seriously how many moaning oldies on this site? if you like old pubs happy days. don't knock something just because its not for you.
9/10 for me - 1 for the queue.

after reading all your comments, i have to agree with 'bestbeerbofin'
i have worked at the legion sice it opened, and we do only let in certain types of people in....it's called beening selective,
and the reason we might charge a little more on your'pint of beer' is we are free to get in...unlike the other places that are open to 3am,
maybe some of the comments on here are biased, both for and against the legion, but to some this place is one of the best late venue's in guildford and will continue to grow and grow.
thanks you for all your comments and hope the 'hater's' find there special late venue in guildford. the drink/dusk awaits....

I agree with Gtowngal, this is a bad, bad venue. By the way your doing yourself a favour by not coming here. Especially in terms of beer money. I think they just want a certain type of people in here... Sexy girls so the people in charge can watch.. Terrible really.

Not a great place fills a slot i`d say (just).
|
Was in there about 6 months ago. Wasn't really worth a review or a rating until I read the fakes below.
Bland, vanilla, beige. All the heart and soul of Terminal 3. To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide. "Mostly Harmless".
|
Last 4 reviews not kosher me thinks, dont belive me click on their names and see where else they have been !!!!
|
What a refreshing place!
The decor is great and the vibe fantastic.
If you've not experienced it yet, get yourselves down there and enjoy good music in a beautiful enviroment.
With three floors to choose from, there is something for everyone.
If you want something different to the norm, it's the perfect night out.
See you at the bar!
|
This place is fantastic. Great decor, top music, friendly staff. Go there and see for yourself.
|
What a mixed bag of reviews! If you are into your ales and looking for a cheap pint, like sitting next to saddo's that smell then you have come to the wrong place.
The legion is a bubbly lively sophisticated venue with great friendly staff who attract good customers where i feel safe. The music is spot on and as for the decor it is fantastic.
Bit odd that the sensible pub revier didn't see what lots of others do. Dont need to say much about the beersupper, saw him with his carrier bags at the bus station!
If you want a great night out go and see for yourself, you will enjoy it, like i did. A 10/10 from me!
|
what are you saying pubman, its great here? Surely there is something for everyone, and lets face it we don't shop around for cheap beer otherwise we would be taking our chances at the weavers or staying home with a 6pack of Kaltenburg supreme and a pickled egg?
I love the loungy downstairs bar, they even had some live music acts last monday night.
|
Not sure its a bar or a nightclub. Not worth paying �3.50 for a San Miguel, surely?
|
Hate the place! No ale, snobby people on the door. Sucks! 1/10 for being there.
|
One pub one comment always makes me think stitch up.
|
I went to the Legion when it first opened & I didn't like it - Sorry. But after going to a friends party last weeek, I love it. Lots of big sofas in the bar downstairs with a good atmosphere, I gave the middle floor a miss as it was a bit hectick but spent the rest of the night in your new bar on the second floor where the party was.. a really hip late night hangout. well done on turning this around, we will be back as this is possibly turning into the best bar in Guildford. x Gabby
|
The Perfect night out, A mix of chill out areas with funky and buzzing atmosphere, Great Dj's and now free to get in all the time!!
|
Sorry but i don`t see this place lasting as it is now.Its some thing and nothing does not do a thing lunch time or afternoons and very patchy in the evenings.

The Guildford Friday night H-File search broadens! I came to Legion around 10.30ish (17 Aug) with a friend who was keen to see a certain woman in here. No problems with the bouncers on the door regarding photo ID for entry. We headed to the middle floor (pictured in pub details) where we found the female in question with a friend in one of the cosy booths. I was driving and my mate brought me a soft drink, so I am uncertain of the drink prices in here.
My first impressions of Legion is that it is simply the club version of nearby Five and Lime, which confirms Callum251's comment of this being Five and Lime's "sister pub". So basically if you like Five and Lime, you'll like this place. Not quite sure on the pricing policy though? It was �5 entry after 10pm when the Friday night clubbing crowd appear to flock to Time considering it is free entry there before Midnight.
The music playing in the background on this aesthetically looking floor was old school funky house with the clubby bit and main dance floor on the much darker ground floor. There was a private party on the top floor where the pool tables are. Despite eventually being with a group of women, the place did appear to be full of (older) blokes, which from my point of view was not encouraging for the H-File search. I felt the dance floor on the ground floor was a bit on the small side, though you could go up a few stairs onto the stage and also dance there.
Overall, Legion is a sound alternative to Harpers, Time or even Flares for a late drink and well worth a visit especially when the likes of Time/Harpers for instance presumably stop their summer policy of allowing free entry before Midnight.

a bit quiet in the daytime but I like this bar - the lunchtime fair is quiet basic with just a hot sandwich menu - but when they arrived we were pleasently surprised. great value - nice staff.
|
Yes Yes & yes again i say - It is a bit of a walk but well worth a visit - & only a fiver to get in. what more can I say - loves it.

I like this place there was a good vibe on the friday we visited. the girls toilets were too hot but other than that it is actually quite good.
|
Place is ok nothing special i wish them luck.
But i will say how can anyone read Callums comments with out laughing he rates other pubs with rocks or sucks (a man of words )and even rates a pub thats been shut for over 18 months,the standard of staff must be quite poor....
|
No mr/ms anon I work at the five & Lime but you have got to agree that the chav count is nil & it has a kick ass interior - so forgive me for bigging up our sister pub !!!!!! oh Aleman they keep selling beer & many other drinks until the bar shuts [3AM] cheers.

having dj'ed here over the weekend i would like to say thanks to everyone who said how good the my music was,
its only been open a month so there's still a few teething problems, but i'm sure that in the future this will be one of guildfords top venue's,
|
wow - first time in the door and I love it - no chavs great music - fab design - nice work.
|
Have visited this bar/club. On the whole i do quite like it, downstairs appears to be the main club area, while on the middle floor is the bar area and the top floor they have pool tables.
The bottled beers cost more than buying pints so watch out for that, all the prices are listed on the drinks menu. They do stop selling alcohol about 1am though, on a Friday at least.
|
love the club is there a listings page??
