Cheap, bit smelly, very packed
I used to frequent this place a lot while I was a student - its the only real place to go for indie or retro music without having to go out of the centre, particularly once Red Balloon left Ramshackles.
You go downstairs to the club, which is very small and very packed - the main dancefloor is always heaving, it would be easier to mosh than dance in this place! Since the smoking ban can in there has also been a small best described as very human that seems to permeate the rooms...
Not to worry though, as the cheap drinks will soon have you in a state not to worry. The DJs are friendly and always happy to play a request. The crowd tends to be young people, and while I love the chance to dance to some proper 60s classics and indie hits, once you're out of your uni years you find yourself feeling ancient in the sea of students...
