Review of Embargo
19 Apr 08, 12:18
Shocking shocking shocking 
The problem with this part of London is that there are no decent places for after hours drinking. Embargo is a complete dingy dive.
It plays pretty appauling music, it's obviously over priced and they stamp you with ink that takes about 4 washes to come off - so everyone knows you've paid it a guilty visit.
I'd avoid it like the plague.

Review of Tuxedo Princess

The Booat! 
World famous the boat, which is moored on the Gateshead side put Newcastle on the map!
literally an old cruise ship, this monstrosity has a number of different rooms with different music and dancefloors.
Look out for the spinning dance floor on the bottom floor, try not to get one leg on the rotating floor and one on the ground!

Review of Legends

Ah, legends! 
The legendary legends - it's your typical old school Jordie dive.
They arrange great student nights in particular VodBull nights, go out with a tenner and come home completely hooned!
The actual club is a bit scabby, and since the smoking ban, doesn't smell great, but it's very central and your bound to have a good night.

Review of The Clapham Grand
19 Apr 08, 08:25
Predictable 
The Grand in one of those places that makes you groan when you wake up in the morning and remember staggering about in there.
It's a bit of a dive to be honest, with fairly average music. The only way to make it fun is if you go with a massive group of friends.
Be careful when you come out if you are on your own, keep your wits about you and mind out for the dodgy cabs.

Review of Brixton Academy

Favourite Gig Site 
Brixton is a great venue for gigs, it's easy to get too, easy to find and there are loads of good bars in the area if you want to meet friends first.
I especially like it because it's got a curved floor so if you aren't very tall and don't like being squashed up at the front you'll really like Brixton.
The bars in the venue are spread out and you never have horrendous queues.
Enjoy.

A guilty pleasure
I know, I know, the dive and all that - I fully admit this is possibly the worst hole in the hole of England (including Slough) but I believe there are a few of you out there who've had surprising nights in there.
I know you won't admit it - but you're out there I know you are, I've seen you in there on a Thursday.
Caution: Do not attempt unless heavily intoxicated - then dance like a total fool for hours.
