I went here on a Friday night for some roller disco action. Being a skating novice I was worried about the amount of people that'd be in my way (or vice versa) on a Friday but the fears were unfounded as it didn't get massively crowded.

There's two reasonably sized rooms to skate in, both with accessible bars that even I could get to without too much trouble. For me that's an important thing with the amount of cheesy music playing.

The downstairs room had some good comfy lounges for when you needed a breather but the actual skating and disco itself wasn't massively exciting, there was just the occasional direction change.

Recommended for those who like skating and cheesy music. Dressing up a bit is also recommended =].I went here on a Friday night for some roller disco action.

It's good to have a late night bar in Vauxhall, amidst its many clubs.

The venue is well spaced out, well lit (I think it's actually been made environmentally friendly: the lights are low energy and consequently air conditioning that would counter the head this produces is used much less), and holds the atmosphere well.

Bar prices are standard, and if you apply for a dog-tag on their website, you can get 2-4-1s on a few of their drinks (Corona is one).

The bar staff are always friendly and helpful.

The crowd is mixed - mixed ages, mixed 'types' - but the bar is more at the bear end of the spectrum.

The dance room at the other end of the bar is good for some sweaty fun later on in the night/early morning.

Good house music, with a DJ playing in the evenings at the weekend.

I like this place. It's good fun, masculine, pretention free.It's good to have a late night bar in Vauxhall, amidst its many clubs.
