The Spensley's Emporium

You're heading down Albert Road, past the usual suspects, and Spensley's pulls you in with the kind of energy that says someone's actually thought about what they're doing here. It's not trying to be something it isn't—just a straightforward night club where people come to actually have a laugh and dance to something decent. The crowd's mixed, the drinks are reasonably priced, and there's none of that forced 'experience' nonsense you get elsewhere in town. Whether you're catching a midweek crowd or heading out Friday night, it's the sort of place where you'll recognise faces and the bartenders know what they're doing.
