Jumpin Jaks

Cheap Chav fest

14 May 08, 18:49 As expected

Good Grief. I drunkenly stumbled upon this 'barn' whilst on a trip to the 'muff. My boyfriend assured me it would be 'cheesy'. It was horrific, yet strangely entertaining. It was a "School Disco" event, hence many women (who were old enough to know better) wheeling round in short skirts and school ties. To accompany them were a selection of pre pubescent chav lads, many of them dressed in stripy jumpers and Burberry. They were swilling on either "4for£10" bottles of VK (Vodka Kick) that I had forgotten existed since I left student life. Or two bottles of "Bubbly" for £10. I say the word Bubby extremely lightly, as sparkling Perry to me, does not deserve such a title. Oh the irony. It was very surreal watching them drinking whole bottles either through a straw (classy ladies), or swigging out of the bottle (boy chavs).

The "Cheesy" music started off ok (Alphabeat's Fascination) but quickly deteriorated, and by 2.45am it was "Smack My Bitch Up" by the Prodigy, when all we really wanted was a rousing chorus of Chesney Hawkes' "The one and Only". Don't get me wrong, we fully embraced the experience (albeit not in fancy dress). We got particulary drunk and then just had a giggle before staggering off to find a chip shop at 3am. Brilliant.

Not really worth it.

Jumpin Jaks is not really worth paying an entrance fee as you may be disapointed. It's quite small with a badly designed layout. The staff dance around on the bars in costumes which is just pure cheese. Expensive drinks too.

Cheap and Cheesy!!

This is the ultimate cheese fest!!!

If you're up for a big silly night out with all the girls this is cool. It's like an old style cowboy barn and the drinks are cheap (ish).

not like it once was...

Dunno why but when this place first opened it was great fun. Maybe it was the novelty. Was always quite busy and had a great atmosphere. Never seems to be the case now. It is the ultimate cheese and if you're after that and there's a large group of you then you'll have fun. Don't forget you'll also have to hike out to the pier from the town centre too. Doesn't feel such a walk if you've had a few though!

Pure cheese!

Arg!! this place is so dodgy! I really would avoid it at all costs! Used to come here when I was too young to know any better and believe me I will never be going again! Its situated right on the seafront and looks like some kind of weird rodeo/cowboy joint. Plus they play the worst music ever. Terrible.

Heard so much hype about this club chain which is situated on the beach front so went to check it out and was very disappointed ! Its cringeworthy! It;s designed like an old style barn. Staff were dancing on the bar and all wearing cowboy outfits which was too cheesey for my liking! However, drinks are cheap with student night on a tuesday !!
