Every town in every city needs a club like The Blue Rooms, and even classy tourist traps like Bath have to indulge.
The Blue Rooms is a typical cheesy, gross club for those just celebrating their 18th birthday, who have no idea what's really out there.
It's also one of the few places in Bath open past midnight on a Monday night, so even us oldies sometimes have to make do with what we can.
We had to queue up outside, in the rain, to show our IDs, so be prepared to bring one, even on a quiet night. The average age of a typical Blue Rooms guest is about 12, so IDing is common.
The club is located downstairs, and the entrance fee during the week is £2, bumping up to £5 on the weekends. Coat check is an extra quid.
The club is tired looking, but no one notices when the lights are low and the music is thumping.
There are two bars, one right when you come in, and another downstairs near the "dance floor". The drinks are over priced and common, not much in the way of nice liquers, but typical club fare. Shots of sambuca may or may not have made an appearance when I was there.
The club is rather small, with only one seating area with a few couches, then the dance floor is downstairs in a small, uncomfortable basement room with low arched ceilings and a few benches against the wall. The music when we went was pretty basic -- R &B interspersed with the tired and true dance tracks.
The guests were all very young, all very meat market and checking us out, but once we said no, they left us alone, so nothing too creepy.
The bouncers were present but not overwhelming or rude, which is really imporant to me -- I don't pay for the pleasure of being growled at by a mountain ape simply for being in a club.
The Blue Rooms is great if you need somewhere to go on a night out, but the unventilated, un air conditioned dance floor is only breathable for a few tracks, then it's back upstairs into the rain in search of civilisation. read more
