I really don't know what it is about this place, but I agree with my fellow yelpers that there is just something about this shaggy old dog. Perhaps it's the complete and total absence of pretentiousness. Or maybe it's the fact that everybody in there, is there just to have a good time. The crowd is laid back, trendy and generally it attract people from all walks of life. The bar is big, stocked and waiting for you!

I've seen Daddy G from Massive Attack DJ here and it was a good evening. The decor is like an old mansion that's been left untouched for years above head height and like any other bar below. They show football on a projector here for big games, which to someone who doesn't care for football is more of an annoyance than anything. The couple of nights I have been out here, the only criticism I can think of is that the ordering of the DJs didn't seem to fit the crowd reaction, but that's more about the night organiser than the venue itself.

For an otherwise alternative part of London, Under Solo is a welcome mainstream club. The drinks aren't overly expensive and the atmosphere is bouncy and friendly. The club isn't huge so going with your own group of friends can feel like you own the dance floor. The door price tops out at £10.

Ben and I had chosen coloured contacts (me in black, him in white) as our added weapons. Slimelight is a big, members only goth club. If you're a non-member, there are two ways to get in: know a member, or look the part. We looked the part. As well as many dance rooms (with varieties of music: Ben and I liked the ravey room best), the club also serves food (they had a barbecue!), has pool tables, many bars, and runs occasional events: we were privy to goth bingo, and participated in karaoke! Brilliant. Mainly, I loved dancing in the electronic style room because the UV lighting made my outfit look AWESOME. As far as karaoke goes, I went for a nerve-wracking rendition of Love Cats, and later on, my friend Sas and I teamed up for a blinding performance of 99 Red Balloons. Both were REALLY well received Great fun. Thanks to the chaps at Slimelight you're a lovely lot

Super friendly people, many with elaborate Goth outfits. Crowd includes all ages from 60 year old veterans to 20 year olds, and everyone is having fun with quality Gothic rock, ebm and industrial music. I hope I get to keep on coming here for many more years. Since someone asked, I'll clarify that the Slimelight is on every Saturday from 2300 til very late. Sometimes there are also pre club shows from artists in the Gothic and Industrial scene, in which case a ticket for the show will also get you into the club. Other nights of the week the venue operates under different names for different purposes.

The club does get packed but because its quite big there's still enough room to move/dance. The drinks wasn't too expensive it was average priced considering it is just outside London, but now the downside to this night club is you got to sign up to a membership on the door which costs £30 I believe, this one membership allowed all of us entry which was a party of around 10+ but we still had to pay the entrance fee on top of that which was £10 each. The problem is they don't make you aware that you have to sign up on their website if you haven't been before, the doormen make up the rules as they go along I think because I see other people walk through without showing a membership.

This club welcoms party groups and will give you all a free glass of champagne when you enter and the drinks are reasonable too. It has an outdoor smoking area by the river under canopy's.

The first 5 got in free, the next 15 got a reduced tariff, (we were 20 on the list) and anyone extra had to pay full entry (which I think was £8). Drinks were good, but the space was way too small. We'd asked to get a table and apparently were next in line for one, but with several girls nights out and one massive hen party, it wasn't going to happen. We barely had standing room. Also, the crowd was a bit shady. So shady, in fact, that a couple of hours in the evening a fight broke out, tables and chairs overturned, guys getting dragged out, the works. On the bright side, this meant that the club emptied out and we finally got a table!! The staff was lovely, and gave us plates and plastic forks to have the cake on (which I'd previously gotten from a patisserie), which was great. I'm not sure I'd recommend the venue, for unless you've planned something well beforehand, you'll barely have standing room!!

This place actually has a lot going for it (interesting cocktails, good bar staff, seating areas…read morefor parties) but... it's just the rest that I'm not so sure about. Maybe I'm too old for clubbing (and maybe it was the day after my birthday, I'd crawled in at 4am and didn't actually want to go out again) but i wasn't wowed. The dry ice cocktail seemed like a great idea, until we tried it and found that it was too sweet to drink, but the barstaff were good and they do a very good mojito. I think I paid a fiver to get in. There's nothing here that would entice me to come back, even though I was awesome people. It wouldn't be my idea to come again, but my friend had an awesome time on his birthday and to go with the theme they even let him play Back to the Future on their massive telly. For making him birthday smiley, they get three stars.

On entry at 6pm the barman was welcoming and venue is quite cleverly laid out with under a of the floor space as front bar, with rest being the live music venue out back. Drinks were average for London. At some point in the night the door staff started work and made me uncomfortable by staring at me every time i moved around the venue. At times they followed me (I'm in my 50s so not a threat). By 8pm there were 4 members of staff and although I was 1 of 2 people waiting for a drink, only 1 of them was serving. 3 of them were having a lovely chat in the front bar. I made a comment to my mate and the barmaid went and told them. I then had a different barman from earlier walkover and rudely dropped the card reader in front of me on the bar to pay before serving me my drink. Didn't say please or thank you. Rude as hell. At the end of the evening I witnessed a guy with a disability having a disagreement with the door staff who showed no empathy to his well-being. The promoter in the rear was really friendly all night and the bands were all chatty. What started off as an exciting evening soon made me keen to leave. It wasn't busy with locals so maybe this is a reflection as to why. When I left after the venue, an older door supervisor was on the front entrance and was really friendly, exactly how I believe all staff should be. I'm mixed as to going back as it might have been a coincidence that the evening bar staff and inside door staff all being rude, but I won't make a point of returning over going somewhere different.

Sure it's no pretty picture but it has character, the pub has a large open standing area with bar in the middle. I wouldn't say there's much seating but I don't think I'd come here to sit inside anyway. What's great is that they have a lovely, large rooftop area with plenty of seating available on large benches. There's also a BBQ serving up traditional jerk chicken and other street food type foods. We were offered a £1 off voucher for our jerk but sadly on this occasion we weren't eating here. I'd definitely come back to try it though! They staff are pleasant and attentive and we had a nice experience! I'll definitely be back over the coming summer months.
