When people think of Nightlife, and the best places in the country go out, they immediately think of the huge cities, London, Manchester etc which do indeed have some great bars and clubs for all tastes. But with these large names and exclusive venues, a premium is placed on the drinks and entry, often making the good nights out too expensive for the average clubber. So where else is there for the nightlife junkie?? Where can some of the best nightlife in the country be found, at affordable prices? I'll tell you where, Nottingham, thats where. Due to its high student population, clubs and bars are cheap and plentiful for all, meaning that almost any clubber will find the right venue for them. From Underground music, such as drum n bass and heavy techno, to cheesy student nights and RnB, its all here. Its not just for students either, the general public are allowed in many of the venues during the week, and almost all at the weekends. Many locals complain about students, but at the end of the day, they are the ones responsible for the lower drinks and entry prices in the city throughout the week.
So what exactly does Nottingham have to offer in the way of Nightlife? Currently it offers some of the biggest and best clubs in the country, with Gatecrasher having recently taken over Media, providing top music and some of the biggest DJs from around the world. Oceana, opened 2 ½ years ago, has become some what of a student favorite. The third in the brand, this club offers clubbers 6 different experiences in one night, with 2 full size clubs, 3 bars, 1 restaurant and a VIP area, its no wonder this has become one of the busiest clubs in the country. The weekends here are always packed playing the best in commercial dance, RnB and some slightly harder music at times to keep all tastes happy. Be sure to arrive early to avoid the always long queues.
For the harder clubber there is Stealth, which offers hard house, techno, trance and Drum n Bass nights every month, with some of the top DJs in their respective fields making regular appearances. Nottingham was one of the pioneering city’s for Drum n Bass as it has grown over the last 10 years, and stealth offers some of the largest nights in the country for this ever popular underground genre. Massive DJs and producers such as Hype, Mampi Swift, Andy C and many more can often be found whipping the dance floor into an adrenaline filled frenzy with some of the very best and biggest tunes around. There are also a number of other clubs around the City, with Ocean being the number 1 student club, playing a variety of big tunes, cheese, RnB and all the classics all week. Mode is another popular venue with a great atmosphere at all times.
Clubbing not really your thing?? Then why not check out the HUGE range of bars around the City. There are bars to suit every taste, from dirt cheap student bars such as Varsity and Templars to the up market sophistication of the Lace Market. One of my personal favourite bars in Nottingham has to be the Pitcher and Piano. This is not the usual bar, as it is set in a renovated church, with impressive architecture on the outside and beautiful interior design, with a raised circular VIP area right in the center of the venue. Drinks aren’t the cheapest here, but its well worth it for the amazing atmosphere and great service.
With all of this in one place, who needs the over inflated prices of the capital?? Nottingham is the place to be!
