Review of Sixty Million Postcards
03 Nov 07, 11:12
Great improvement... 
This is a place that I always remember as 'Edward's' which was rubbish, so I probably should move on from that. Newly re-invented as Sixty Million Postcards, on my first viewing since the fancy new signs went up, I have to say I like what they've done with the old girl. The name fits in well with the indie scene they are aiming for, and is very apt for a seaside town, so far so good. The decor is much better than its previous alias, and the revamped menu also an improvement. The music selection is wide-ranging, but mostly of an indie ilk. Having only been there once, I can't say it's my favorite place to go for an evening out, but I'm sure I will go there again. Great place to start off the evening, but not a place where nights become legendary.

Review of The Cavern
17 Oct 07, 22:25
Good music, good venue 
The Cavern is a good place to go if you are in to alternative music, it's not like "Arena" or "Mambos" of Exeter. It is a little underground venue, that does various different nights throughout the week. They have pretty good bands play each month, such acts have included Jamie T and The Rumble Strips. Saturdays are the best night in my opinion, especially when they do Indie night. Expect to get there early as it can get really busy. Doors open at 8.30, usually there will be a band to start the night of then a dj to see the rest of the night through. The Cavern has a nice atmosphere and theres areas to sit down and chat aswell. Drinks are cheap, for example, on a saturday a double vodka and coke costs just £2. The Cavern is also open during the day and serves lunches and coffee, though it is usually full of little scenester college kids who can't get in on evenings because they're underage. The Cavern is my favourite night out in Exeter, I always end up having a good time there; so I suggest you check it out...

Review of The Arena
12 Oct 07, 23:25
What's that smell??
This is the question that most people ask when they enter Arena nightclub in Exeter and the answer is: vomit. Yes, no matter when you go, there always seems to be an unpleasant smell as you walk through the doors. Don't let this put you off however; if you re looking for somewhere to dance the night away then Arena is definetly a good place to start. It is quite a cheesy club and you may well need to take full advantage of the various drinks promotions they have on offer to get truly into the swing of things. This is a totally student dominated nightclub during the week with each night offering a different theme. The weekends tend to see a more local based party go-er. I do occasionally enjoy going to Arena, but in order to stomach the cringeworthy horror of hundreds of male students taking their tops off to the Baywatch theme tune at the end of the night I have to be pretty drunk. But if you like to pull shapes to such classics as the Baywatch theme tune and Night Fever by the Bee Gees then Arena might just be the place for you. On the other hand if you're after a more alternative music scene you might want to look else where.
