Was there on last Saturday night Mex, and it was empty. There was about 6 of us and we must have doubled the attendance.
We got there at about 11 ish, and the night was over as far as that place was concerned. It's meant to be fairly busy from 8-10 cos it has good drinks offers on, but after that, it's a no-go.

Before it got done up it used to be called something else and was well dodgy and full of rough old drunk council estaters trying to shag each other.What was it called?
And no thats not my sort of place Dave.

It was called Vadams wasn't it? Much nicer a place now though. Although I never went in there before the refurb. They do a good bbq on Fridays in the summer.

I've been there a few times and always thought its quite a cool chilled out club. Which proves the population of Swindon hqave no taste as its never been anything like full.
I'd go to the shaun Ryder / Mani nights if they happened. (Belle and spunkstain are a bit gay though)

I like it in there. Me and a few friends were in the spot, they called time so we thought where's a good place we can go to, have a late drink, in a nice place, MacKenzie's looked shit so we went for Soda. It was alright tbh.

When it first reopened as soda it was quite popular. Ive been there a couple of times but its always dead now. I think it was more of an older persons place. Its so easy to make a place popular nowadays though.
Cheap drinks, variable music and dont let in pikeys. Ney problem.

It could work, as they need something to get people in there....
i know a lot of people who are desperate for an indie night of sorts to be a regular thing.

Me and my mates want a place like that, the only non pop, dance club is Level 3 isn't it? And I've heard that not very good. We need an indie club to go and listen to some decent stuff!!
