As the.. The World Café & The Corner Club

Free entry all weekend. Not sure on music etc styles. Seems like due to down trade in turn Arkells have scrapped the 2 floors of music and VIP. Looks as if it is a cafe downstairs now or trendy eating place sort of like The Old Bank and a club upstairs now?

meh

grrrrr I wanted it to be somewhere good again - I was a bit horrified by Liquid on Saturday to be honest

Aren't you a bit old to go clubbing?

No gay face!

Haha its pretty shocking but most people seem to think its amazing! I think Ive been 3 times, if that!

It was my second time - last time was August last year!! the standard of clientel seemed to have slipped somewhat!!!

If I wanted a chav to grope my arse Id go and stand in Mcdonalds!!

im not a chav.

Liquid is trulley horrendous! Swindon seems to have a decent enough bar scene, particularly up old town, but where do you go at 12 if there's not a decent club! Has anyone been to Rehab, they seem to have had some half decent nights there recently?

Rehab is ok but was so wasted I can't really remember much of it!

I still cant believe we took you there!! Do you hate us?? and Ive just remembered something else £1.50 for a cloak!!

I pride myself on never having stepped foot into Liquid.

Liquid is shit. For real clubbing I go to London, in fact my mate is playing at Ministry in 2 weeks time and Judge Jules and Armin Van Buuren are headlining!!! :D:D:D:D

The last time I went to Suju it was a cracking night. It helped we were all tanked up though!

Im heading liquid tonight. 96% of the people in there are arrogant poseurs, but its 3 drinks for one tonight.

I would say 96% of the people were scummy chavs myself??

Arrogant either way you look at it. I'm not sure about the buzz about liquid either, it just seems to bne the place to be seen

There is no buzz in liquid.....

I've been asked if I want to go to Liquid on Saturday night. I've never been so was thinking about it, but this thread has put me off the idea massively!

I went to Liquid once and won't be going again. If you're under 25 (preferably under 21) and in to big room house and trance then you'll probably love it otherwise you won't. The Envy bar was unbelievably shit.

Suju is my late night drinking venue - normally pretty busy, good music, good atmosphere and if you're in your 30's (or 40's or older) you don't feel out of place. Bit expensive getting in but the drink prices are ok. Never tried Rehab, more than happy with Suju.

Didn't know the Apartment had even closed, though it was pretty quiet the last time I went.

I have never heard trance in Liquid....., Only been twice mind. it was more commercial shit like infininty 2008 which they play when town come out (the non vocal version was massive last year in Ibiza) and fuckwit chavs going WOOP WOOP every time a silent part came... it was incredibly embarassing and shit. Liquid is a commercial dance club with shit music you get on MTV Dance IMO.

Where is rehab?

It's where Rouge used to be. :(

Or Rogue, as I used to like to call it

ah, i see.

I never did go to liquid in the end. Fooking rammed! I would always go once though r4e, someone else may experience it different to you

i queued for ages to get into liquid, got in, then queued for ages to get to the bar (well..sent the mrs), girl next to her got about 20 drinks and BAM 11.30 came and it was no longer 3 for 1.

is D&D still open? i want to go somewhere i don't feel ancient :(

Should have joined me, Roo... Now I'm getting old, beers and a quiz machine in old town are my bag

liquid was alright, its a meat market, brunel always was. whats fucking wrong with you all? its a saturday night you go out get off your tits loud music and look at women with barely enough cloth on to cover their arse, hopefully get a nosh at the end of the night.

get a grip you fucking idiots.

to be honest I rarely leave Old Town now .. Longs .. MacKenzies and the Kings

I've been in Liquid 4 times I think, each time I've had a laugh and not really paid much attention to the place, although it does seem too sanitised for some reason, maybe as I'm comparing it to Brunel. I've been invited to go again on Sunday as well.

Can Rehab be classed as a nightclub? I thought it was just a late opening bar like most of the other places in Swindon.

From my point of view the problem with going out in Swindon is its all late opening chain pubs. There really aren't any proper nightclubs in town except Furnace, which is good but there is no club that plays decent dance music every weekend. Brunel used to have some good events but even then it wasn't regular. In Bristol theres a proper rve scene with a choice of nights but a place the size of Swindon usually has one decent dance music club.

Wow, I'm glas people on here agree that Liquid isn't all that great. A few of my friends are always in there and I don't really like the place anymore as its full of chavs as people have mentioned.

So are 90% of the places in Swindon.

i would've much preferred that mulls!

Yep unless you go to Furnace basically its all extreme drunkeness, lairyness and slags. To a cheesy soundtrack.

Or if you go up Old Town maybe trendy wankers.

soapy tit wank

Fuck me what's wrong with that?  Like Mex says, you can't beat a bit of drunkeness and nosh....

There is nothing wrong with that its fun but theres no alternative. Also I'm not really drinking at the mo (for good reason) so Swindon isn't the best place for me to go out. Plus having a gf I can't get with any of the easy drunk girls.

I always think there's loads of things to do in Swindon besides lashing it up, some of them might not be too obvious and take a bit of finding, depending on your interests.

Even if the best nightclub opened up in Swindon people would still moan about something. The chavs would still be there for a start. That's why we never get anything good* in Swindon because there isn't a market for it.

*This is more perceived than actual goodness.

Yeah but I was talking about going out friday\saturday night.

 So you want to go out Friday/Sat with the gf, to somewhere not too drink dependent and which isn't a meat market full of chavs?

 Do you do food?

My mate is running the new Apartments shin dig and i had a look round there this evening. The restaurant looks top quality, they've really changed it down there, and they are serving food until 3am with a DJ and everything. On top of that they are opening the top two rooms as the new 'Corner Club' they've done really well with it, it looks swell and they've re-done all the sound and re-jigged the VIP room. Fair few of us making the trip tomorrow night, looking forward to it.

by the way, it's free entry all weekend so worth a go. Better than what you get in Liquid that's for sure.

Presumably the food after 11pm is kebabs.

Basically I guess I'm just really thinking there isn't much of a rave scene, which is what I'm into and the sort of nights I go to in Bristol. Places where lots of people are getting high I guess.

Swindons not that bad for pubs for example I still like The Savoy, largely for nostalgic reasons. Its just I feel after 11\12 at night the options are limited.

Like I said I do quite like Furnace though.

If not a decent proper club then a decent sized live music venue so Swindon would get well known bands visit more often would be great.

Agree about the bands, but I got my hands on a Tobagan bird tonight..dirty Old Town, dirty Old Town.... :).... scary shit

Toboggan bird? She's cold but goes down quick?
