Howlers

You know exactly what you're getting when you descend into this basement club – and that's precisely why people keep coming back. The music hits hard with mainstream chart toppers and throwback anthems that get everyone singing along badly, while the drinks are reasonably priced enough that you won't hate yourself in the morning (financially, anyway). The crowd skews young and up for it, creating that proper night-out atmosphere where inhibitions disappear faster than your coat check ticket. Sure, the décor hasn't been updated since the early 2000s and the floors have seen things, but there's something refreshingly unpretentious about a place that knows it's here for dancing, not Instagram photos. When you want a guaranteed good time without any pretence, this delivers exactly that.
