Went to an 80s 90s night on Saturday 13th Dec, 2025. Absolutely brilliant night. Free entry, as always. Free retro sweets. Free disco glow sticks. Free shots. Free hot jammy doughnuts yummy! Fab music, great atmosphere, cheapest drinks in years! Cocktails were awesome! Don't mind going out at such low prices. Lovely clean place, great decor, lots of corners for a funky photo. Nightclub with a pool table, games machine, something for everyone! Think it's under new management.
The only nightclub left in one of England's smallest cities
Absolute disgrace ...charge £5 entry then no diet drinks.
