The Middlesbrough Empire

I was delighted to finally make it to the famous Empire one night late in October 2008. It really…read moreis an awesome place and one of the best nights out i have had without moving from venue to venue in ages. The building is gorgeous Victoriana music hall in style but each room is different. The main downstairs hall is ideal for gigs with a high stage and holds I would guess about 500 without any of the upstairs being open. the rest is a bit of a maze of stairways, bars, elegance, but with a indie crowd used to dingy places this was quite OTT. There was different DJs on each dancefloor on at least 3 levels of the building and other side rooms from what I can remember, with my favourite being the one on the 1st floor with a grandiose chandelier. The Saturday night shindig I went to is a regular thing and the people who went were a great mix of students and locals. The smoking area is on the street unfortunately, but I could not care less about that slight downside as it matched expectation and if after reading this I have just raised yours, then goodyou will enjoy it too my friends!

The Empire has been a place of worship for music lovers of the north for many years. Its not a…read morepretty venue, its a sweat pit, but thats exactly what the punters want - to sweat out the week (or mid week for some!) to their music of choice. It has many famous DJs performing to cater for every music genre - house, electro, techno, trance, retro and in more recent years has shown it can hold its own on the indie-rock scene. The recent rock and rave crossover means nights with erol alkan playing are now the norm - but there is something for everyone and anyone who likes to throw shapes to dance music (fridays) and indie (weds and sat - often live bands).

You cannot be serious man. No it isn't Wimbledon season or a time machine malfunction. I can't…read morebelieve it has taken me so long to find the Viper Rooms. I'm only as perturbed as I am under the illusion that finding a place that was once owned by Johnny Depp means I'm now married to him. Okay, so this particular Viper Rooms wasn't owned by Johnny Depp but it shares the same name. That is close enough for me. Now will it live up to expectations? Well actually yes it does. It's housed in a Grade II listed building and inside they've spared little expense. We're talking four bars surrounded by multiple rooms and a mad mix up of music as well. You'll get anything from disco to Hip Hop. It is beautiful, it really is. A special mention goes out the centre piece chandelier and quite awesome (not to mention comfortable) leather sofas throughout. To get you in the mood and your disco shoes raring the drinks menu will blow you away. It beats some clubs I've been to with a huge selection of cocktails, wines, fizz and beer. This is grade A stuff. It may be a little mainstream for some people's tastes but just go with the flow and enjoy the venue if nothing else.

It's ok as clubs go but had 3 permanent cocktail and drinks menus on the wall but didn't have any…read moremilk to make several of the cocktails!! Milk for heavens sake- not exactly difficult to come by is it?! Also Jägerbombs and several other drinks similar were advertised but they didn't have any shot glasses..in a club.. It all unfortunately shows a couldn't care less attitude on the part of the management.

When I got to the club they asked me for my ID to which I handed it over but to my surprise didn't let me in, the reason being that my ID didn't show my date of birth.

The club looked like it hasn't been cleaned for days, music was not that great. Overall horrible service and didn't expect for a club in a town like York to have such xenophobic staff.

So much fun! Mostly a 20s crowd, was thankful there weren't any creeps I noticed!! Drinks were…read morecheap and music was very average but im from US might've been popular stuff in UK.
