    If you're looking for either a glam night out with the girls, or a night out with the guys checking…read moreout the glam girls then Mechu is the place to go. A firm favourite with the cities footballers and high earning business professionals, you can expect to see bottles of champagne all over the place. I'm 26 and the last time I went I felt quite overwhelmed with how many older men were in there. If you're looking for a wild drunken night with a younger crowd then this probably won't be for you unless you go on the student night which takes place on a Thursday. However if you prefer the idea of drinking with a more mature crowd in quality surroundings then it's definitely worth checking out on a Saturday night. Some of the cities best DJ's can be found playing so you'll be provided with the perfect soundtrack all night long.

    Although it seems a bit perfunctory to diss Mechu for its VIP-style snobbery and expensive bar…read moreprices (after all, that's the point!), it has to be said that this is not for the likes of people like me who spent most of their formative clubbing days spilling snakebite over their converse in various dark and dingy indie discos. However, having attended the upmarket Mechu on a couple of occasions for work parties, I'm happy to report it's not without its pleasures. It's a swanky bar and relatively spacious, the music from the decent DJs supplying both a mix of dance and urban cuts. The booths are good if you're in a group, but make sure you have a stacked wallet. The thing that generally puts me off - and why I'm probably not the intended audience in the first place - is the 'footballers wives' vibe it gives off. I'm not into my footie, so I wouldn't recognise the much purported cameos from Villa FC players - however, there are lots of glam, slightly orange women 'coyly' approaching the blokes in smart threads at the bar and suddenly I'm humming the tune to that Amy Winehouse tune 'F### Me Pumps' as it could have been written about this place. If you've got the cash and you want to avoid the lower-rent version that is Rococo on Broad Street, then by all means splash that cash here. I'd rather lounge about in Island Bar, thanks.

    Fairly cheap drinks, and usually an alright night with a real varied set of customers. It's one of…read moremy friends favourites, and we came here recently for her Birthday- booked a booth, which had a reasonable amount of stuff provided, leis, balloons, weird finger torches to cut off your blood circulation, sweets, temporary tattoos (not sure it's hygienic with spit and drinks, but oh well)- and a drinks tab- however, after showing a couple of people to the booth- that was that. It was chasing down the tab and arguing for it and all manner of other humans trying to jump in and nick stuff. I think you have to expect a standard stocked bar, and dodgy loos. You can certainly still have fun here. Find it weird that they pat down guys to get in and not girls- as they could quite as easily be carrying something. DJs are often rude about requests or Birthday shout outs- I don't know if it's been the same guy the few times I've been in but whoever certainly had a serious dose of arrogance going on. I preferred it when it was flares.

    I have been going to popworld since last year and I have to admit I love it every single time!…read more It's a 90's/cheesy pop music themed club so if that music isn't for you this isn't going to be your cup of tea. This club used to be flares (70's themed club) but sometime last year it got converted to popworld. Yes it has it's downsides like the dance floor can be very crowded at peak times during the night and the loos are pretty small but there minor issues when your having a laugh and partying away. It's def a place where you leave your ego at the door and just bust a move to 5ive and backstreet boys haha. The drinks are around the same price bracket as reflex so knocking around the cheap/average price range. All the decor is funky colours and cheesy pics from the 90's and the music always gets people on the dance floor, all the way round the dance floor there's tv screens showing the videos of the music being played which is pretty cool. A good little tip when you go there always go to the upstairs bar when upstairs is open because most people just head to the main bar so it leaves upstairs pretty empty and you get served much much quicker! So if you don't mind cheesy music and maybe getting alittle sweaty from dancing like a mad person then you will enjoy this place!
