Situated on the opposite side of the river to all the trendy bars and clubs on Riverside is The…read moreWaterfront. A grimy, run down building with a lackluster interior and a floor that your feet will stick to all night long. But don't let that put you off! During the week it is used as a music venue and although you'll never see the likes of Oasis play there, it does attract great up and coming bands. It also offers local bands a chance to showcase their talent with nights organised by local promoters. At the weekends the venue is used as a club that generally caters for the 'alternative' Norwich scene. Friday nights tend to alternate each week between 80's and 90's theme, which may sound cheesy but the DJ's actually play decent music from those decades. It is nothing like your typical Flares or Reflex nightclubs. Every Saturday in the main room downstairs is a club night called Meltdown, which tends to play alternative music catering for the indie/emo/punk/rock/dance genres. Up stairs there are two rooms. One is a small café bar, which is great to as a chill out area as there are plenty of tables and chairs located around. The other room is larger which has a different set of DJ's each week will be a different themed night. Anything from New Electro to Britpop to Heavy Metal or Rap. There's rarely any trouble in The Waterfront and you'll always make a new friend each time you go there. Overall, it's a great night out with a quality friendly atmosphere!

I would probably class this as the towns original nightclub as it has been in existence for over 20…read moreyears. Over these years it has been extensively refurbished, but technically remains the same in that it is a night club. The building has been extended - was originally only one floor but has now extended upwards into the next building and is therefore on two floors. There are toilets, bars, seating and a dance area on both floors. The building can be hired for private parties (which is fairly normal with this type of club these days). There are also special early entry offers on certain nights as well as drinks offers (prices, types and so on). There are age restrictions and ID is checked. There are cloakroom facilities but these are for a fee. There is a large car park at the rear of the building and a kebab shop and chicken and chips shop just outside (handy for after a few drinks). The local railway station is just nearby and there is a taxi rank located there.

I am not usually one to complain about my experience at Cuba Revolution, but unfortunately…read moreeverything was awful this time. I had pre-ordered our meals and I received a confirmation this was passed over to the Norwich management team before we were due to arrive. When we arrived, we were informed they were not aware of our pre-orders so we ordered on arrival. We were then waiting for an hour (baring in mind it was small meals and it was not busy in the restaurant) and so I asked if we could get these to go as we didn't have all afternoon to wait for our meals. Once we had settled up, we were not offered any money off for the inconvenience and to top it off we were missing one side of sweet potato fries and the rest of the food was charcoaled like it had been sitting under a hot counter for hours. We are very un-impressed and wasn't able to eat the food as it was cold and inedible. It was sad that no one came to check on us after 30 minutes to even give us an update as to why the food was taking so long. Safe to say, I regrettably will not be returning for food anytime soon.
