The Scottish Arts Club was founded in 1873 by mostly artists and sculptors and over years has…read morebroadened into most of the arts.  It is a very relaxed club in terms of dress code and it is a very friendly club with many social , arts and musical events over drinks and food. It has a clubroom, a studio, dining room and a garden too. It has a very homey feel to it.  It is a home away from home which is what club life is really all about.   The club has reciprocity with a good number of arts related clubs and other highly ranked social clubs. I love this club.

But there was a reason I went crawling back to the union sheepishly week after week, despite the fact my feet used to stick to the floor, and the vodka they served up used to induce hangovers that give my head panic pains at the mere memory of their awfulness. Similar to my experiences of nights out at the union, Medina promises a good bout of down to earth fun, cheesey dancing, and no nonsense drinks prices.

Cheap and good fun…read more Being inches away from Bristo, Potterrow and the meadows - it's a definitely a summer club. Being very Moroccan, it's filled with fitting rugs and ethnic cushions. There's lots of nooks and crannies and very typical arches with secret sitting areas. There's the obvious large dance floor where you can dance to a range of different styles of music depending on the night you go. You can still get a drink for around £2 even without all the usual offers and pulls.. The usual £5 entry also sometimes get squished too
