it's been years since I first went to MOS so lept at the chance to go there (last Friday 15th Feb 2013) to celebrate a friends birthday and so.....
Plus's
Big main room, less congested smaller rooms if you fancy something different, and out-side area for cooling off and the smokers
Top DJ's - MOS always attract the worlds biggest DJ's for example, the night I went Paul Oakenfold was playing the main room.
No Trouble - MOS goes to great lengths to ensure that everyone has a safe evening, the security may seem a bit extreme to some peeps but I think its needed especially in the area where MOS is based.
Sound System - Again superb, well balanced and clear wherever you are on the dance floor.
Minus's
Drink prices - 2 bottle of Corona and 1 bottle of Cider £15.50 Ouch!!!
Line up changes - the Friday I went was The legendary Gallery and the headline was Paul Oakenfold. Here's me thinking that Oakie will be doing the 4 - 6 am spot until my friend tells me he's finishing a gig in Manchester at 2:25 (discovered on Twitter) so that leaves 1 3/4 hours to get to London by 4AM, in other words it wasn't gonna happen.
I think he turned up finally at the 5AM mark - so really disappointed as I was really expecting a 2 hour set (as you would)
This may not have been MOS fault - but it still soured the evening.
So in summary;
If you like top notch acts, great sound systems, and like BIG clubs that cater for a range of music tastes in a safe, friendly, well secured environment, but charge high prices for drinks coupled with longish queues - this is the club for you.
If you cant check most of the above boxes then places like 414 Brixton, Egg (Kings Cross) and the myriad of dance nights advertised on places like Harderfaster.net and dontstayin.com might be more to your taste!

Ministry of Sound hasn't changed much in the 10 years since I last visited.
It's got a bit heavier on security and if you want to get drunk and dance a lot at great expense, it's still a pretty good place to go, but it's a victim of its own success in a way, as the type of people who you'll find there are probably not the sort of people you'd want to associate with if you weren't completely off your head.

Is it the only club that petty thief's seem to roam at will and help themselves to mobile phones and the like in full view (who are too scared to take action) of people and the police do not follow up or attend unannounced from time to time to show they care about ordinary citizens? I shall be dropping a line to my M.P. in the hope he will involve himself where the police fail to.

Tool Room knights is the best night going.
Quite touristy but everytime i have been it has been a good night.
Friendly clubbers, close to tube and not a place which is swamped in drugs which is great. Security is very tight which is good but drinks are quite expensive.

Ok, yes the club is cheesy and full of tourist, HOWEVER, my girlfriend and I never get any hassle here from culbbers / stranger - basically its a pretty accomodating place to have a good time without drugs being thrown in your face.

I went to Ministry on what they call "Milkshake" night, which is the student night every Tuesday. It's taken weeks just to get to this place (my friends aren't very good at getting outside the kitchen after they've had a few to drink :P), but finally this week we arrived. We got there after half 11 I believe and the queues were long, especially for guys. However for such a popular place, it didn't take too long to get through. It was a mere £6 for students to get in, and the drink prices were very affordable, at £2.50 for a beer and £3.50 for double vodka mixer. The actual venue in my opinion was quite cool and fun. I think only 2 rooms were open that night, which was sad as I really wanted to be able to go to the above floor.
I didn't absolutely love the music. It was quite commercial, which at some points was at my taste. However, most of the music was just too much techno or remixed versions of the commercial music, which is not my thing really.
I would like to come again on a different day to see if the music is better at other times. That's really the thing that made it not so great to me, so it'd be nice if they varied it a bit.

Ministry is different for everyone because they dont stick to one muic genre. I love thier hip hop nights and hands down i have had my best nights there... to put it in perspective i have seen puffy, fat joe, david banner, jazzy jeff, westwood, baby cham, jay z and loads more acts. Admittedly they have reduced thier hip hop night due to trouble but even if its once a year it will prob be your best night out. But do look at the night on before you go as you may find yourself out of place if its not 'your' type night.

MoS is a well established large London Club and enjoys high profile DJs and theme nights, but it's also very student friendly with lots of student nights with discounted entry.
Prestige of the music and DJs varies with ticket price - Friday and Saturday nights are the bigger nights. Drinks prices for non-student nights are a lot, as is to be expected, but the atmosphere is great and the outside area can be very social which is realy nice.
There are about 3 different 'rooms' with different music, and it's good for a full-on night out if you want to party till the early hours.

I've been to MoS plenty, to see big name and small name DJs. It is a great club, big, good sound, popular, gets all the big names etc. But personally I think it's starting to lose it's touch a little. The big names do always sell out, even with a ticket you'll be hard pushed to get in between 11-12.30 (it's when everyone wants to arrive after the pubs are shut but the tubes are still running). The bars are expensive, but there is a water dispenser if all your drinking is H2o. The toilets are clean enough given the large number of people.
I just think it's becoming the Convent Garden of the club world, full of tourists and pretty generic nights out. Still would go if all my mates were going - just not sure I'd suggest it if I was organising a big noght out.
