Review of Club Hidden
13 Nov 07, 15:23
Hidden 
As the name suggests, Hidden is tucked away opposite the Arcadian Centre, and is popular with a more clubbing-dance crowd than most of the Arcadian bars. It's invariably got a queue outside it on most weekend nights, and as such it can be annoying trying to get in. Then paying around £10 for the privilege of waiting outside kind of adds insult to injury. Once inside it would be nice to say your forget this because it's great, but that's not true. Sadly, the layout is tight and confusing, there's lots of dark corners, not enough bars, too small toilets and always far too many people inside to make any kind of venture outside your immediate area virtually impossible. It is frequented by people whose attitude to dressing themselves seems to be the less is less theory, and as such be aware that you may not be let in if you do not prescribe to such stupidity. Not a fan!

Review of Snobs

Snobs Nightclub, Birmingham 
This club has been around since my parents were out and about clubbing it, which for most places, is not a good sign. The venue (and decor) has changed little since my parents' day from what I can gather (my mum asked me if there were still 'faces' on the walls, and there are), but this place has the kind of charm most indie clubs can only dream of. Starting with the 50p/£1 drinks on some nights, the mirrored back room where you can stare blithely at yourself whilst convinced you are the greatest dancer in the world, and the toilets which inexplicably get flooded every time you go, this place is not for the faint-hearted. However, for cracking tunes (Indie and Rock in the main room, 60s/70s Northern Soul and Funk in the back room), this place can't be beat. The main dancefloor can feel like a cattlemarket, and there is a lot of touchy-feeliness sometimes, but this can't be helped- there are times when this place is so full it can feel claustrophobic! However, it all adds to the atmosphere! A warning- the average age of the Snob-ber is probably late teens, so if you are of the older clubbing crowd this is probably only for you if you are plastered. Sometimes the queue to get in on a Saturday night can seem a bit daunting, and the door staff are none too sympathetic with pushers-in, kids without ID or those carrying offensive weapons (bag searches are standard) Once you've oversome all this, however, you can bask in the joy of vending machines that have Carling bottles in them, £1 bottles of beer and poles you can dance around- class!
