The Social Club

You'll find this basement venue doing exactly what it says on the tin - being social, loud, and unapologetically messy. The kind of place where you start the night saying you'll only have a couple, then find yourself screaming along to early 2000s bangers at closing time. The cocktails won't win any awards, but they're strong enough to make the dancefloor feel like your personal stage. It's properly sweaty down there when it gets busy, which is most weekends, and the crowd's a mix of students, office workers letting loose, and regulars who've been coming here since it opened. Not sophisticated, not trying to be - just honest nightclub fun.
