Wonderful Experience
Attended Roxy lanes. Had a lovely time with the people there and hopefully made some friends to explore the city with. Booking was simple and I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to make friends in Edinburgh.

Frustrating Experience – Wouldn’t Recommend
Review:
I originally left a 1-star review because I did not receive proper event details until the afternoon of the event, which made it too late to attend. It felt disorganised and stressful, and I was disappointed.
I requested a refund, had to follow up twice, and eventually received it. That should have been the end of it. Instead, I was contacted repeatedly via WhatsApp by the team, who accused me of lying in my review, called me childish, and tried to guilt me for sharing my experience.
This kind of response to customer feedback is unacceptable. It was not just unprofessional but genuinely uncomfortable. I was polite throughout and simply wanted to express what happened and move on.
Their communication felt passive aggressive, defensive, and lacked any real accountability. I would not recommend this service, not because of the technical issue, but because of how they treated me after.
Original review:
I booked an event with StoriBoard Club in Edinburgh and only received the event details and ticket at 15:39 on the same day — less than four hours before it started. By that point, I felt completely put off. I had reached out earlier in the day through WhatsApp and was assured the details would be sent, but they were incredibly slow and unhelpful.
Their system failed to process my booking in time, despite payment being taken almost 24 hours in advance. No apology, no proper support, and now I’ve missed the event. They’ve also ignored my refund request. I was really looking forward to it, but the customer service and experience were deeply disappointing.
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone expecting a smooth or reliable experience.

We’re very sorry that your experience with us didn’t go as smoothly as intended, and we fully acknowledge there was a genuine system error that prevented your ticket email from being sent automatically. As soon as you contacted us, we apologised sincerely, sent your event details, offered you a complimentary ticket for any future event, and processed a full refund.
We were therefore surprised to see a review that didn’t mention that the issue had been resolved in full. Our follow-up via WhatsApp was intended only to understand this omission and ensure there hadn’t been any other unresolved concerns. It was never our aim to accuse or upset you, and we’re sorry if that’s how it felt.
While this was an unfortunate technical glitch, we did act promptly to make it right and to offer something extra by way of apology. We remain committed to treating all feedback with respect and to resolving any problems quickly and fairly.
Great Experience Made Possible by Fantastic Storiboard Team
Had a great meal with a group of lovely like-minded girls. I was nervous beforehand but really needn’t have been! Storiboard Team are also extremely kind, helpful and responsive to communication. I look forward to booking another meet up soon. Thank you!

Hands down best night ever
Hands down one of the best nights of my year met a bunch of misfits (myself included) and through the act alone of camaraderie and encouragement in an environment like a karaoke bar; we became great friends and was there supporting each other throughout the night! Our team won the quiz Which gave us £150 bar tab and a free private room for two hours which we then proceeded to have an amazing time singing classic songs and we all plan to meet up somewhere else separately later on this weekend🫶 karaoke bar was called Bam in Victoria London, the prices of the drinks were extortionate and met with a service charge but the bar staff were never friendly, they were defensive and opportunistic by nature that soured the experience and we probably only had £100 worth of the tab because they made sure to put service charge on the tab and tried to close the tab ilegitimately and only one person would deal with the tab itself… The other staff like the host and the MC host in the quiz were lovely, friendly, welcoming was honestly so made up for plucking up the courage to meet some strangers… Perhaps on the surface based on image alone I probably wouldn’t of approached these people but when that’s taken away and they’re in an environment where you want to be, it doesn’t matter anymore I truly I opening experience and so glad I went.. thank you STORIBOARD

Hi Jj,
Wow – thank you so much for this beautiful and honest review. We’re so happy to hear that your night was one of the best of your year – that’s exactly what StoriBoard is all about: bringing together unlikely matches, stripping away first impressions, and creating space for real connection.
It’s amazing to hear how your group bonded through encouragement, joy, and a shared love of karaoke (and congrats on winning the quiz – what a night!). We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the bar’s pricing and service – we really appreciate you flagging it, and we’ll absolutely pass that feedback on to the venue. The people we partner with matter to us, and we want every touchpoint of your evening to feel welcoming and fair.
Most of all, thank you for showing up – for yourself and for others. Your story is a perfect reminder that when the right people are in the room, magic happens.
Hope the follow-up meet-up was just as memorable 🫶

Darts next time sounds like a brilliant plan – it’s fast becoming a StoriBoard favourite. Hope it’s another night of fun, laughter, and maybe a few unexpected friendships too.
See you soon!

Very fun night!
I did not know what to expect as I joined one of Storiboard meeting last friday for the very first time. I'm really glad I did ! I met many friendly people and it went from karaoke to playing pool and then bowling. It was a very fun night. We talked and had a good laugh and I'm definitely glad I did not chickened out!

My experience was great
My experience was great as it was a fun way to meet new strangers. The activity and the location were great! Was matched with people that I got along with. Loved that before the bowling, we had like 30 mins-1hr to mix with the other groups and there was karaoke, darts and pool. Would do it again! Well organised

Enjoyable, exciting, experience
I’ve been twice to a Storiboard Club event both dinners, although there are other options on different nights depending on your location.
Bowling, darts, Karoke, Board games - I’ve not tried yet; but I’m planning to soon.
Booking up is easy and after a short questionnaire, you’re ready to choose your location and event.
Membership can be monthly, I chose a yearly subscription as thought I’d enjoy it - there might be other options.
You find out your location day before - and communication is excellent with Storiboard team if you have any issues or questions.
You turn up at your location and are ready to meet different, interesting people; you pay for your dinner or activity but usually there’s some great discounts.
I’d thoroughly recommend the experience, it’s great meeting new people; just in a small group.
If you want to keep in contact- that’s up to you, or just appreciate the night for what it is - a fun, experience with new people.

Nice evening out
Really easy to book, the restaurant knew exactly what I was on about and there were actually 2 groups - 6 on my table including me. A mix of genders (4 guys and 2 girls) and ages and they were all really nice. The restaurant was nice and food was good - I had a nice evening out!

Highly recommended
I had a lovely evening. There were 4 of us (rather than 6, 2 people dropped out) which made conversation flow better. We all got on great, ordered the same thing from the menu in the classy, but quite reasonably priced, Hotel du Vin which I'd never been to before. We exchanged numbers at the end and plan to keep in touch. Highly recommended 🙂

Extremely DisapExtremely Disappointing Experience with Storyboard Clubpointing Experience with…
I initially had a frustrating experience with Storyboard Club regarding the subscription cancellation process, which wasn’t as intuitive as expected. However, I want to commend the team for how quickly and professionally they handled the issue once it was raised.
There team reached out to me, promptly cancelled the subscription, and ensured everything was resolved smoothly. I really appreciated the direct communication and swift action.
While my initial experience left me unsure, the way they responded clearly shows they care about their members and are committed to improving the service. Every company can run into issues, what sets them apart is how they respond, and Storyboard Club handled it admirably. Thank you for turning the experience around.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for getting in touch. It's really nice to hear from you.
I've had a look into this and couldn’t find any prior communication from your side, so I can understand how this might have felt unclear.
It seems there may have been a mix-up between deleting your account and cancelling your subscription. You can manage your subscription anytime via this link: https://dinner-club.checkoutpage.com/portal, and this is also explained in our FAQs.
You also mentioned that we don’t offer customer service. I want to reassure you that we absolutely do. We’re available seven days a week via both email and WhatsApp. We’re always here to help and never aim to mislead or avoid communication.
It looks like the cancellation process might have been missed as well. We've outlined it in a number of places, including our FAQs, to make it as straightforward as possible.
We’ll certainly take your feedback on board and look at how we can make things even clearer.
If there's anything else we can do to help, we're here.

I would totally recommend
I went to my first Tuesday night in Newcastle. It was a meal at the Hotel du Vin, which was lovely but I found expensive. A small vegetarian meal and 2 drinks (lemonade and tea) cost me almost almost £40, which was not my budget but I was kinda okay with paying it for the experience. In future I think somewhere that costs under £25 would be the best option eg. A classy pub/bar or golf might be better as I wouldn’t be happy to pay that again.
I was seated by the venue at the wrong table, with the wrong group of women, but the women I sat won where so great, we had a hoot.

Hi Georgia – thank you for taking the time to share such helpful feedback. We’re so glad you still had a hoot despite the mix-up and higher-than-expected costs – and we're thrilled to hear the women you sat with made the night! We’re currently trialling more budget-friendly venues and shared experiences like bowling and Flight Club, so your £25 suggestion is really useful. Hope we can welcome you again soon – with the right table and even more laughter.
