Review of Xscape Centre
04 May 08, 12:41
So much fun to be had! 
You know on the telly whenever there's somebody doing something snow related but they can't afford to go abroad to film it? Where do they go? To Xscape of course! This place has the giant snowdome where you can ski (or do other snow-related activities) on actual snow, and if snow isn't your thing you can go shopping or bowling and just generally have fun! You could easily spend all weekend here - apart from having to sleep in the car, that might be a bit uncomfortable...

Review of Mood

I wouldn't pay to get in... 
… although I’m not entirely sure that they ever charge these days.
It’s a fairly average bar/club with on big room. Drinks are ok. It’s another place to add to the list for a pub crawl I guess, but with Oceana just around the corner, why bother going here?!
It’s not awful, just nothing special.

Review of The Moon Under Water

Spoon-standard
Another one of the four spooners in MK – this one isn’t a Lloyds bar though, so music and flashing lights are replaced by the sounds of conversations and the faint glow of the exit sign.
Probably my least favourite Weatherspoons in the city, it’s fine for a cheap meal and a couple of pints of cold beer.

Review of Revolution Bar

Nice for a quiet one...
… but just the one, unless you plan to re-mortgage.
Well located for an after-work beer (if you work in central MK) and normally fairly buzzing with a good quality clientele, the riff-raff don’t get past the doormen, I guess!
They have a tapas-style menu offering, which is good if your with friends, but if (like me) you’re a bit of a loner, can get expensive quickly!

Review of Lloyds No. 1 Bar
21 Apr 08, 14:12
Cheap and very cheeful
Of the 4 Weatherspoon venues that I can immediately think of in MK, this has to be the finest.
Spread across 2 floors and a semi-outsidey bit, there’s plenty of room for eating, drinking, dancing at cavorting. The food and drink are spoontastically good value (cheap) and in the words of R Kelly, if Lloyds in the Theatre District were a woman, she’s got that vibe.

Review of Oceana
21 Apr 08, 14:00
More Music Variety 
I know - it sounds like a cheesy radio station strapline, but that’s the best way to sum up Oceana.
There are 6 or 7 rooms (depending on what you count as a room)
There’s (from memory):
1) The main entrance/ground floor room – normally smooth R&B or sometimes Drum n Bass – quite spacious, lots of candle-lit tables.
2) Tokyo Bar (or something) – Generic poppy/clubby/commercial dancey music – standing room only
3) A chilled out bar with tables and food early doors.
4) The Disco Room – huge flashing dance floor, hotpants and glitter balls – great fun!
5) The love-in – a Parisian boudoir with smooth grooves and sexy snugs
6) The surf-shack (or something like that) – Jumpin Jaks esque décor, indie beats
7) The main room – commercial dance
So, even if you have to pay (can be upto a tenna), it’s worth it, as there really is something for everyone.
