Tends to appeal to an older. style- conscious set who are drawn by the venue‘s vaguely exclusive nature. It‘s small and sumptuously decorated with the long. modernist bar being the central focus. rather than the dance floor. Nothing too ambitious on the music side. with an anthem and classics playlist.

This mammoth venue has been tweaking the club equation to keep it fresh. Saturday is the busy. dress-up night. opting for housey resident DJs rather than guests. Fridays have turned around in the last few months with the ('olours crew running their Spectrum night of hard house. featuring regular guest slots. Thursdays continue with the huge (‘op student night and Sundays get camped up by Shirley's Temple. Recently. the club has been trying to up the credibility factor with full-on drum 'n' bass nights and more big name Dls. signalling that its owners realise they can't _jttst trade on a club that looks pretty.
