the warehouse is as good as it gets in preston. i know that among people from more...shall we say, urban, locales, that might not be saying much...but i'd be willing to put the warehouse up against any big-city club anyday.
it's a great little spot, hidden down an alley next to a church. the club costs five quid to get into after 11, two before, and boasts a great three-level atmosphere and reasonably-priced drinks. each level plays a different style of music, ranging from indie to alternative to pop to metal. it's open saturday and sunday nights, and depending on both the night you come and the time of evening, you'll find they switch up the styles quite a bit. the great thing about having three floors--each with their own seating area AND bar--is that if you tire of the music on one floor, just hop a flight of stairs and head to another. there's something for everyone.
uni kids and older adults go here to party it up on the weekend. you'll find hipsters bopping about next to nu metal kids thrashing around. there is no dress code, so unlike at other clubs, you'll feel just as at home in your beat up old jeans as you would in fancy dress or your newest party dress. it's all about the dancing, the music, and the fun. if you get too hot, just go chill outside for a few minutes...but get your hand stamped or you won't get back in!
the only downsides to the place are that if you get stuck next to the speakers, your ears might be ringing for a few days afterwards. that, and sometimes they go a bit out of control with the smoke machines, but it's all about the atmosphere, isn't it?
my recommendation: make it over to the old dog inn, which is right around the corner, once warehouse shuts down at about 3 am...it's where all the drunk kids go to hit it off and continue the debauchery. read more
