VIBE Primarily a goth/industrial club, but not exclusively. The decor is pretty raw, and the crowd is fairly similar to what you’d see at other goth venues, except on Thursday nights, which are more house-focused (with an electro bent), and Wednesdays, which currently feature hiphop and breaks. Sundays are somewhere in between, playing electro, new wave and techno-punk-type tracks.
FEATURES The sound system isn’t too impressive yet, but there are plans to upgrade. Capacity is somewhere between 200 and 300, and half the club is set up as a lounge. The lighting won’t blow you away but does the trick.
VALUE No cover most nights a small cover on Thursdays. Drinks are reasonable, especially for the area. Definitely much less upscale than anything else in the neighbourhood.
BATHROOMS Functional, big enough, reasonably clean, with no attendant. Neither pretty nor disgusting.
