Once the seediest club in town, now one of only two places offering dancing and late night…read moredrinking. Its had a good scrub out in recent years and is much better than it once was, but it is still abit of a dive. Recently a monthly music club night has been started, run by mighty boof promotions. This has really improved the credibility of the place by drawing in the indie crowd. The groundfloor has a bar and seating. The first floor is 60s,70s and 80s and chart type music - it has seating and a dancefloor. The upper floor is either rave or indie depending on the night and is frequented by the younger crowd.

Concrete is located underneath some estate agents in the centre of Carlisle. It's not so much of a…read moreclub and more so of a trendy bar with loud music. The setting of the place is very modern and stylish, with granite bricks, African style ornamental pieces, glass and great lighting. The bar is well stocked to serve and mix a variety of cocktails, all quite tasty and affordable, the shot mixtures are definitely the nicest though. The music can be a bit hit and miss - last time I went they seemed to be stuck on an RnB/mainstream Hiphop loop which doesn't appeal to me at all, nowadays I think it's more varied. Concrete is one of those 'moment' places, it's a place people go if everyone else seems to be going (this was especially relevant when it just opened when I was at uni and all the students went just because 'everyone else will be there') and during these times you can be queuing outside for a long time - longest for me was an hour, and I only waited that long as my housemate at the time was the Student Union president and wanted support, otherwise I would have moved to another bar. Other times, Concrete can be so empty it lacks atmosphere - hit and miss - can be great, can be boring, just make sure you go with a few friends.

They often have some big named DJ's so it's worth checking out who's on. The drinks aren't much differently priced to anywhere else in Carlisle. A great night out

If you're into banging, yet credible dance music, then Sub Club is probably still your best bet in Scotland. It's won various awards over the years, none of which I can remember. To be honest, I just don't get the exceptionally repetitive thudding of Saturday nights, and as good as Optimo was, once the style of music they played inadvertently became trendy, it lost much of what made it good in the first place. I've been to a couple of Drum n Bass nights which have been pretty good, but possibly not worth the headaches and the ringing in your ears afterwards. I did once get a shot at DJing in here on a Subcity night, and despite it being practically empty, the fact that I got everyone dancing to my favourite TLC tune, summed up the club for me. The punters are pretty open to anything, and don't give a toss as long as it sounds good. You can't ask for much more than that in a club.

I have to be honest and say that i have never had a truely outstanding night at the Hamilton…read morePalace. It is actually more than just one nightclub, and calls itself an 'entertainment complex' but i have only ever been inside some of the rooms. The thing that i find lacks here is atmosphere. There has never been one time when i have walked into a busy room and felt like people were having fun! Instead, i have been faced with empty dance floors, overpriced, watered down vodka and music that doesn't quite hit the spot. I know people who are avid Palace fans, who never miss a weekend in the place, but i guess it's just not the right place for me. It does cater to many different people; Subia, the bar for 18-25 year olds, All Stars, for an older clientèle about 25+ and Oxygen, a dance floor with RnB and Dance to name a few. I admire that they are striving to keep everyone happy, but they have just missed the mark with me, and i can't put my finger on why.
