    Closed down now. Soon to be a Lloyds Bar think they're opening sometime in the Autumn 2011.

    I have a sore head. It's not good but it's the price you pay for a great night out. Ruby Lounge…read moretotally exceeded expectations. Me, planning, making a decision is a rare thing. My suggestion was actually a hit. I did my indecisive alterego very proud. There are many quality club nights organised by the Lost and Found name and this was no exception. Dance off, being £1 entry, sold it for me. Doubles for £3, a range of sambucas £1.50? Messy. Dance off saw a battle between three major DJs, strangerways, good vibrations and juicy DJs playing a mix of Joy Division, The Temptations and Dr Dre. Amazing combination. Ruby Lounge is renown for it's quality club nights and live music. The venue is perfect, with an adequate dance floor, a stage to match and plenty of seating on a slightly raised level for a chill out. Another great Northern Quarter location that needs to become a regular thing for me.

    I think this might be a strip club. In fact I'm pretty sure. Well, it wasn't when I was in the Ruby…read moreLounge last night for a Lost and Found gig which is why I felt comfortable to take my boyf in with me. The gig was billed as The Cribs Aftershow but it was basically just a gig- most of the spectators were either in one of the four bands, looked like they should be or were girl groupies who were way too impressed with themselves that they were getting backstage. The sofas and high backed armchairs in the main bar area were nice touches, there were a few mirror balls around too. Plus velvet curtains - hello, strip club? Then you turn to the grimy stage area with the big grill up between the bands and the crowd. That said, no one went past the pillar anyway. Too cool to stand right at the front. Alright drinks prices - get some of their cheap vodka mixers or flavoured sambucas otherwise you'll run out of money quickly. After the bands they had Gareth Brooks from Xfm DJIng but we didn't end up staying.

    Established now as one of the top clubbing nights in Liverpool, Chibuku started out as merely a way…read morefor two Liverpool students to get the kind of night that they wanted to go out on. Started around ten years ago, Chibuku was a perfect antidote to the post-Cream, funky house phaze that had gripped the city and was leading Liverpool down a dane music cul de sac. Breaks and beats were the order of the day, a far cry from what was on offer elsewhere through the city and the night soon started attracting the type of leftfield DJs rarely associated with the Liverpool scene. Not only has the night expanded to a permanent residency within The Masque Venue but hosts all nighters at the much bigger Nation nightclub and can be found hosting slots at festivals around Europe, so too has their musical spectrum in keeping with recent trends and tastes. Recent DJs have included Annie Mac, Erol Alkan and Digitalism to ensure an eclectic mix.

OK lean in and listen closely- forget The Warehouse Project and Sankeys, don't even speak to me about Area51, the best club night of your little north west lives lies in wait just 30 miles along the M62. Without a doubt Chibuku is the best thing that's ever happened to me whilst wearing both shoes. On par with Fabric in London and anything clubbing capital Leeds has to offer, Chibuku must be experienced to be believed. Named after a famous beer milkshake in Malawi Buku was started up for £40 by some students revolting against how corporate and dull the 1990's "super clubs" had become. It's ethos was simple- fun and stupidity, and though it has grown into something of a behemoth itself these days, its unchanged ethos has ensured it has remained pretensions free. Dancing in the main room which is an old theatre with the seats ripped out is an experience like no other. The stepped floor creates an ampitheatre-like effect where everybody has a view of that nights superstar DJ. Meanwhile upstairs in the loft chillout area many a mystical sage can be found dispensing hops fueled wisdom to a wide eyed throng of strangers. Buy your ticket. Turn up. Expect life changing results.

    A student-only club owned by Lancaster University Student Union. This means you can only get in if…read moreyour a student. Another thing is that the drinks are cheap and your basic student drinks. The music is generally mediocre, and the atmosphere is dead on most nights nowadays, but is booming on certain nights. Friday Fury and certain live gigs, bring the crowds from the uni, and make it a fun, albeit stuffy place. The no-drinks on the dance floor rule is heavily enforced by burly bouncers, and they are very quick to chuck people out. So that part is never fun. Can be up to £4 to get in, unless you come when the doors are open and the place is empty. Bar service is the slowest in Lancaster, and you can spend forever queuing and being pushed around when trying to order a drink on a busy night. So pick your night carefully, and have fun. Because at least you don't have old balding single guys staring at you all night.

    Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring! It takes ages to queue outside of and isn't really that…read moregood when you get in there anyway! The only salvation of this club is that the staff are pretty fantastic, and the service is quick as well! The 3 stars I give is 100% due to the good quality of the service and has NO relevance to the place itself! And it's owned by Lancaster University Student Union? You'd excpect better from the student union of one of the best unis in the UK! Then again maybe I'm bias because I'm UCUM! (that's University of Cumbria, for those who didn't know).

    The K... what can I say? If you're a regular in Liverpool city centre at the weekend, I find it…read morehard to imagine that you have never been in Krazy House, it is one of the famous venues for a night out - whether famous for good or bad, I've never quite been able to establish. The outside of the club is pretty garish with loud colours, this might set you into a false sense of security as I don't think the interior has ever seen a lick of paint. Cleanliness just doesn't exist in here, there are very rarely seats on the toilets, the place is just generally grimy and the smell is absolutely inexplicable! There are three independent floors, each with a separate genre of music and its own DJ and completely different clientele, in theory with something for everyone. Even though it seems I've given the Krazy House, the only way I can justify my 4 stars is if you go. It is basically a disgusting place of wonder where you have to go at least once in your lifetime.

    Ah the Krazyhouse... Where to start? OK well lets start about 17 years ago when I first went here…read moreand it was known as Sloans. The golden years as I like to think of it. Its a lifetime ago, and you may wonder why I keep going back after all these years. Well my reasons are as follows: 1- There is no other decent rock club in Liverpool. The city centre is full of indie and dance nights, but none of these come close to a rock night. 2- The drinks are still inexpensive after all these years. The 2 for 1 offer has long stopped, but the value remains. You can still get a bottle for about £2 and a shot for £1.50, which is unusual in a city centre club. 3- The people are welcoming. The Krazyhouse generally has a good atmosphere, particularly on the 1st floor. There are no bad attitudes here. It doesn't matter if you're a teenager or middle aged, as long as you're here to have fun then people accept you. 4- There are 3 different dance floors, with different types of music. Generally the first floor has the heaviest music, the 2nd is more indie type music, and the 3rd floor is cheesy chart music. 5 - There are areas on or near each floor where you can chill out. You can get away from the dance floor and chat to friends. 6 - The entrance is cheap. It usually only goes up to about £5 late on a Saturday night. 7- There is a good presence of security milling around to ensure that if there is any trouble, it is stopped immediately. 8 - There is a cloakroom on the 3rd floor so you don't have to dance round your coat or chance shoving it behind a speaker. 9 - There is a snack bar which offers burgers, hot dogs, chips, veggie burgers, pot noodles, soft drinks and sweets. The food is cheap and cheerful and always hits the spot. 10 - The club has regular all nighters which last till 6am. This sort of night is rare unless you go to a dance night and usually you have to pay a lot of money to get into one of these nights. Even when it isn't an allnighter the club is open till 4am.
