You are NOT safe here and won't receive any help when in danger! For anyone who thinks they'll be safe while spending time here, please reconsider. On Friday night my sister has to fend of 10 males alone while the security stood by and watched as her friend got beaten up and did nothing as she called for help. Not knowing what else to do, she got in the car and kept revving the car and honking the horn to stop the boys attacking her friend, only to be threatened by security for being reckless and told to leave. She refused until her friends were all safe and in their cars on their way home. Security did absolutely nothing to help her injured friend or stop the attack. Her friend had to be rushed to the emergency room for his injuries while those who attacked were left to continue without repercussions.

Great place to have fun with your friends but I really think that the bouncers are unfair. For example one of my friends wanted to take a picture with a girl who we know from childhood. Another guy got jealous and said that he wanted to punch my friend. My friend then wanted to say he is sorry but the other guy was to drunk to reason with. Me and another friend held him back and took him outside. The bouncers then came up to us and said he is kicked out. We tried to reason with them but they didn't care. I don't think it's fair that people who do nothing wrong gets kicked out and the person who wronged stay. I would like this to change.

  • Thea-Leonie du Plessis

What I terrible place! Regular Afrikaans people are attacking English people in the club and the manager does absolutely nothing!? 40 year old men attacking 20 year old English people and trying to strangle them and thinking it’s normal behaviour! Even woman attacking men and other English woman in the bar. Definitely won’t recommend and will open a case at the police for assault for such disgusting behaviour. Poor management as well, I blame the manager for allowing such behaviour. Trashy place and will definitely be spreading far and wide how terrible this place is!

  • Nathaly Wheller

I had a really good time. I enjoy how the bar caters for a lot of the South African variations in music such as the afrikaans, english and house music. The atmosphere is fun and not so "serious" like it would be at a club. You can get most of your acoholic choices in drinks and the service is quite fast. There is ample space for dancing, sitting and there is an outside space to catch some air. If you're the smoking type, vapes and hubs welcome, as well as a few ashtrays available. Warning: It does get hot inside, especially with so many people dancing.

  • Wellington chaipa

Well it’s unfortunate to say that i had the worst experience in this place,as I walked in to meet friends who where inside the pub, the security guard asked me what I wanted inside as I was the only black guy entering, furthermore getting a drink by the bar turned into a mission, as I kept being ignored and my friend who is white had to ask the bar lady, why I wasn’t get service. I’m sorry to say but you might as well put a sign that states no blacks allowed, and me being a restaurant manager that is a very strong statement to say.

  • Taila Nell

The one bouncer has a derogatory mouth. She swears at her customers, including myself. She is rude and should not be working in a place that requires a social interaction ability with people. She was working tonight (16/07/2022). Her partner (male) also proceeded to grab me by the arm as they were in disbelief as they thought my passport was a fake. They then proceeded to kick my friend and I out after paying our entrance fee and refused to give it back as we stepped as much as 2 minutes into that club. Sort your staff out.

  • Liza Boshoff

R2 for a glas of tap water, this price seems made up as they go depending on what your face looks like. Advertised on a big screen next to the stage is some double with mix for x amount, when you go to the bar and have a single with tap water it's more than a double with mix, makes perfect sense right.. I am convinced the bar staff pocket a LOT of cash. Music is okay, crowded, no smoke controlled areas so smoke is everywhere, hubblies are allowed. Never want to visit this place again.

  • Gaby Becker

I have a ball everytime I go to fullmoon as it is so fun and vibey. I love the music they play as it's the early 2000s and some recent music along with plenty afrikaans music. Drinks are reasonably priced with amazing specials. It is fairly safe. Food is great however they don't have much options will still do if you are drinking.

I will give this question 4. Nice bar. Crowd is younger, but very well managed. The music selection, is not bad at all. However, there ia a consistent request from the patrons, that Full Moon has a Battle Of The DJs, to select a new panel of Djs. (Perhaps I should host it)! Nice place. I have never had a bad experience here. Thank you to the management and your team, for making my evening, a safe night out for everyone. Good work guys and keep it up!!!

  • Cheyenne Tree

This place is truly shocking, the "bouncers" don't look out for the underage girls they let in. Guys are constantly preying on all the women in the place and even when complaining to staff nothing is done. The fact that the bathroom stall doors do not lock is unacceptable as the main bathroom entrance is a curtain and it is situated straight off of the dance floor. Felt very uneasy as the guys are unruly and predatory Will not go again

  • Dru D

Not really a "real" nightclub, but nice for a bit of a dance. Dont expect world class Dj's. The music is mostly commercial and afrikaans tunes. You might have to fight your way thru the younglings to get to the bar but a mixed crowd. Dont think the security is good enough or of the right kind to handle that crowd and not great car park security either.

Ugh, I hate this place. There are just way too many underaged people that are attracted to this place. Been there once, que was aaall the way to Hendrick Potgieter just only to get to the door and find out we werent allowed in. Complete waste of time. Definitely outgrown this nasty scene, bad attitudes from the people that go here... It's just nasty.

  • Michelle De Villiers

My friend and I have been here twice already. Last month on their Halloween party. They good priced , the lines are a little long but that's expected at a bar. Overall a good vibey place , the bouncers do try and prevent fights but both times we seen more than one fight. Again it's expected at bars. We do enjoy going here once in a while.

  • Tiamo

Services wanting Cover charge for volunteer buddies and reservists who don't drink and also remove the vinebriated . Should be open every night. Even Sunday Lovely patrons and cars to look at and the chicks aren't bad either when they are so naked they're numb inside and u friendly

  • Andrew van Wyk

Disgusted by how this place turned out. Used to be a nice place to go for a jol. Now people only go there to pick up under aged girls and fight. Also so many guys who cant take no for an answer there when a girl does not want to dance with them or so. This place is horrible

  • Kathleen Caroto

I liked the vibe. The bouncers were amazing but the manager kicked us out cause one of us didn't physical have our id there but we had a photo, everyone else said it was fine but she wasn't okay with it. Remember to bring your id even if you weren't supposed to go out l.

  • Nicolas Swanepoel

This place is really awesome. I love to go here with my friends, because there is usually really good music and well known djs. Drinks are very affordable and many specials, you can buy cigarettes and you can bring your own hub. Light shows and events are also amazing!

  • Jessica Hen-Boisen (Jess)

In need of a serious revamp and must be maintained. Currently it looks terrible, but people have fun there. It's got a nice big floor to sokkie on. They play a new ce variety of music at this place and is catered for many different kinds of people.

  • Nunya Bizniz

We absolutely love the atmosphere, music and staff. Prices are good and their specials are terriffic I only wish there was 1 heavy metal night per week, perhaps a Thursday since Red room and the Doors are no longer …

  • Michael Joseph

Full Moon has an amazing atmosphere if you're looking for a night out , weather you're looking to play pool , having a few drinks with some mates or going full out crazy on the dance floor it's got a bit of something for everyone.

  • Lorenzo M

Always good fun, always friendly crowd out for good fun, great dancing (though music can change very quickly from one genre to the next, this probably makes it more interesting / quirky), lastly excellent value outing

  • Marko Pretorius

It was a great experience. Great music, big enough dance floor. Great people. No fights. Unfortunately did not take any photos but did have a blast. Of course the booze was good. No shortage and friendly bartenders

  • Pierre Krugel

Since there aren't many places on the westrand where you can dance(langarm), they might want to try and cater for a wider variety of music taste. And ask people that aren't dancing to keep off the dance floor...

  • keegan backstrom

Not a bad place if you're looking for a fun night, especially on a Friday, more of a bar though. They have a fairly big dance floor with good music and lights and everything a club would have.

  • Nunya Bizniz

Always a great time here! Awesome team, great fun, fantastic music. Can't ask for more...... Except for a heavy metal night on a Thursday perhaps, since The Doors and Red Room closed.

  • Deony Barrington

Absolutely loved the vibe!! Not going to lie, it looks a little dodgy from outside, but the vibe is absolutely great and I will definitely be coming again!!

  • Quintin Earle

It's a fun place to have a night out with your friends, just be ready for alot of afrikaans music in between the club music. Sokkie is the life blood of this place. Drinks are cheap.

  • Jannie Vermeulen

Probably the worst place I have ever been to- 6 fights while I was there and I got hit from behind with a glass bottle after just doing my own thing the whole night, unbelievable…

  • Gabriel Merwe

Bartenders tried to rip me off by lying that a payment did not go through when it actually did. Too many fights happen here. The music is alright. Will give it 1 more try soon.

  • Ivaan Potgieter

Great for socializeing , meeting new people and just letting loose . Definitely recommend this place. Great down to earth staff that do their best to accommodate.

  • Leanne Gouws

Hearing some bad reports lately about spiking incidents. Alot of possessions being stolen. Always fun to go to Full Moon. But starting to become a safety concern.

  • Martinique Lanz

Always fun to go to Full Moon if you're looking for a chilled night out with friends. There are always some interesting people to meet. But it is a bit run down

  • Dayna Ebersohn

It's a mixture between a chilled place and a party place, you can chill in the smoking area but if you want to dance they have a floor for you to do so.

  • Debby le Roux

That is a fuctup place. There is more under 18 children so make it a daycare. The bouncers think they can assault any body. There is law for everyone.

  • Isaque De Vasconcelos

Overall, it was a good experience if you are looking for a jol. Drinks are decently priced. The dance floor only starts to get full, around 9 or 10.

  • Yolandie Burger

Nice place to hang out and dance! Just make sure to take cash with you, otherwise they overcharge you on the drinks! They only swipe for R50 and up

  • Michael Hosking

Been going their for years! The place has changed so much! Too many under aged kids going their drinking and starting fights! And too much drugs
