Review of Korova
09 Jan 08, 10:04
Fun throughout the day 
Korova is one of Liverpool's premier music venues that hosts great new acts from all over the North. Since opening the bar, part owned by Liverpool's very own Ladytron, has seen acts ranging from Hot Club de Paris, The Longblondes, The Spinto Band and the Whip jump onto it's stage.
The bar is also home to a tasty cafe that serves stuff for lunch and bigger meals. Try the Jerk Chicken.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Korovian, the bi-monthly mag that showcase the Pool's brightest creative talent. Well worth a vist, and a read, if you are in the area.

Review of Runaway Girl
13 Nov 07, 20:09
Not as I expected from word of mouth 
The Runaway Girl can be found on Arundel Street in the city of Sheffield. I heard a lot of good things about it from review websites but after going there I can't understand why. Its quite a small bar and the cocktails were nice but I've tasted better at a Revolutions bar. That said, the staff were very good and the atmosphere ok, but from listening to other people I expected a lot more.

Review of Livingstones
13 Nov 07, 14:36
Spacious Town Centre Bar in the Heart of the Action
I avoided Livingstone's on silver street for a very long time. A lot of people drink here before going to next door's Nightclub Trilogy. However it is a place to go if you want to go to a late night bar rather than a nightclub. There are a few crazy people knocking about on a weekend but somehow this adds to a good atmosphere. Its quite big as well and it does has some live bands to rival the leopard on the other side of town. Worth a visit when you have the time.

Review of Biarritz

Surprisingly Good Bar on George Street 
When I went to Biarritz on George Street a couple of times, I always enjoyed it. Its an excellent venue with great staff and a good atmosphere. Its mostly aimed at the 21+ crowd so if you are looking to avoid the student crowd in Hull on a night out, I would recommend coming here. Theres a few other bars on George Street so its might be best to go to these before or after to get into the party atmosphere in here.

Review of The Aldephi
13 Nov 07, 13:00
Very Small Live Venue in Hull 
The Aldephi has a good reputation in Hull for have live bands on. Radiohead, Oasis and the LA's have played here. If you like small live venues then the Aldephi has a certain aura about it. I personally don't like it. Its too small, too dingy inside, the entrance fee i paid was £7 and drinks £3. I would avoid this place unless you like seeing new live bands playing. I'm not too bothered about the Aldpehi but I know people who love this place with a passion.

Review of Pozition Nightclub
13 Nov 07, 12:57
Very Nice Nightclub with 3 Floors and Cafe
Pozition is probably the biggest nightclub in Hull. Set on three floors with different music in each, it seems to accommodate a lot of people. The ground floor is usually dance/cheesy pop, the 1st floor rnb/urban and the upstairs more lounge or funk. Also on the upstairs is a small kitchen where you can buy fresh warm sandwiches as well as the usual burger and chips with a seating area for diners. Theres also a balcony where in the summertime can be a really nice place to sit outside and drink.

Review of Spiders Night Club
13 Nov 07, 12:54
Great Rock Venue out of Town
Spiders is Hull's Rock/Goth club. I've been here a few times and initially I was very skeptical as to how it would be. But actually its a very warm and friendly place. Its very popular club but its also very small so expect to queue even if you arrive early. There are two main problems with the club, firstly its quite far out to the east of the city center meaning a taxi is really the only realistic option to get there. Secondly the men's toilets are a disgrace, small, dirty and overcrowded. But people keep coming back due to its very cheap and original cocktails, shots were under a £1 when i went including a mixer. It's worth going to spiders for the experience if rock/goth music is not your thing.

Review of The Waterfront
13 Nov 07, 12:51
Poor Nights but Nice Venue
I only went to waterfront once when I lived in Hull. The main reason for this is because I didn't like it. It was mostly down to the club nights they had there. It was either cheesy pop/trance or urban r'n'b. I don't like either. But the venue itself is nice and the doormen weren't overly aggressive as they sometimes are when there is a large queue. The drinks could have been cheaper although I hear they have a student night now that offers drinks offers. Personally I think this is just aimed at the student market so if you aren't a student its best to avoid this place and go somewhere else.

Review of Welly Club
13 Nov 07, 12:50
Best Nightclub in Hull
My favourite nightclub in Hull. Its best to come here for the Rock and Indie night when theres a good atmosphere and a great selection of tracks played. They play a lot more live bands here in the now refurbished main room and they also have a Club NME night on a Thursday. They usually have a drinks offer on every night like 2 bottles of beer for £3 which means you can have a cheap night out as well as having a laugh. I definitely recommend everyone to go here at some point.
