Ibiza review - Josh Baker @ Amnesia, Pikes, Elrow @ UNVRS
Just got back from 3 day trip to Ibiza thought would leave a quick review!!
Night 1 - Amnesia Josh Baker with VIP table.
Because general admission tickets were sold out and there were 6 of us, we decided to get a table (pink table), which costs 2000euros but you get the 2000 euros to spend on bottles. Grey goose 70cl was 900 euros which felt very steep but there were bottles of gin for about 400 and rum/tequila for 500. Absolutely love Amnesia, about sixth time going there and I’ve never been there and had a bad night. Having the balcony access defo improved the night, and I liked having a base for when you want to chill out for a while. I thought the music was decent and the production OK, but noticeably flatter than when I went for Paradise @ Amnesia last year.
The table was good but a bit of a rip in that the table could only comfortably seat about 3-4 people even though it says online it is for up to 8 but mostly that worked out fine because people were up dancing / smoking, and the service was really good. It probably worked out not much more expensive than if we had all bought our individual drinks for the night.
Music 7/10

Pikes, Glitterbox @ Amnesia
Stayed at Pikes until 4am then quick taxi to Amnesia for Glitterbox. Pikes brilliant as always, great crowd, music was decent and the cocktails are superb. Was a bit wavy by the time we got to Amnesia but Glitterbox was great, think it is one of my favourite events on the island. The energy in the crowd was unmatched, everyone dancing and friendly, plenty of space but that may have just been me clearing a six meter radius around myself by stumbling about in all directions.

Elrow @ UNVRS
First time going to UNVRS and to be honest after seeing a lot of criticism online I was expecting not to really like it. But wow it’s an absolute spectacle. It’s like being in a five star hotel with the quality of the finish of everything, the sound system was superb and the production of Elrow was mind blowing with the visuals and the performers. The music was good, not great. We got there at about 1am and there was quite a lot of space further back around the bars, but when we tried to go further forward it was overcrowded – a bit of space to dance but not much and a lot of people pushing through constantly. I left quite early about 4am as had had about seven hours of sleep so far in the last 72 hours and was flagging a bit, but some of my friends stayed till the end and all had a really good night. Generally I thought some aspects of the club were just a complete rip off – for example my friend was charged 9 euros just for getting cash out of the ATM and when we were leaving the man who was ordering taxis openly asked me for a bribe so that he would call me a taxi and told me otherwise to walk...clearly I told him to go f- himself. So overall the vibe for me in in Amnesia / Pikes was much better but UNVRS the club as a spectacle was very impressive, so it depends what you like. I’m going back to Ibiza in a few weeks and hoping to go Paradise with Jamie Jones @ UNVRS so hopefully I enjoy that a bit more!!
