Getting a little bored of my local clubs now, ive made a few trip around the UK trying a few different ones, I guess its what music your into though will decide what kind of club you visit. A lot of things make a good club. A few good clubs that ive been to:

Sankeys (Manchester) - Been going to sankeys for a good 3 years or so, sometimes week in week for months in a row. Apparently voted recently "World best club" lol???? Ive been to some very good nights here and some very shite ones. The clubs layout is having to go through the bar to get into the basement, and having to go through there to get into the top floor (spektrum) but its pretty nicely furnished (untill you turn the lights on). Pretty poor toilet layout, and if you dont go for a shit before upstairs closes your fucked! All in all a good club thats kept me entertained for alot of weekend, has some good line ups though. Since they got voted best club though they seem to have alot more security inside, see alot more people getting chucked out now as they no longer turn a blind eye. There door policy is pretty iffy, they judge people on what therye wearing and thats final, unless your a regular, then youll be alright.

Mint Club (Leeds) - Probally a mix up between this and sankeys as which is best but I think mint takes it. Quite a small club but always a very good atmosphere, a good soundsystem and the layout is good unless its packed and your tryna get to the toilet. Never seen anyone turned down from this club, or IDed etc.. Has nice late opening times, been on a few benders in here till 9am and its still quite busy, compared to sankeys where all the pippperz and beers have gone home by 5 and sankeys is empty!. The smoking area is good as its covered, they seem to turn a blind eye to the odd joint aswell outside which is good, the lightings very good aswell on the ceiling. Seems to be a little ahead of the times compared to sankeys aswell as the people.

Ive been to a few other small clubs in manchester, not really many that are worth mentioning went to Area 51 a few times but it was always pretty shite, no good music or atmosphere, Club V was alright full of posers though!

What you think then name your best clubs youve been to I fancy a quick trip!
 
on the right night lakota in bristol is banging. went there for dmt few weeks back had best night of my life atmosphere was amazing didn't get any trouble
 
depends what mood im in. i dont go out super regular anymore, maybe once a month or something

black rabbit at cargo in shoreditch, london once a month

beyond afterhours at area in vauxhall, sw london

DTPM at various super kool locations on circuiting around london town usually for big events at bank holidays

and these are polysexual clubs which means there basically mixed/gay so if u dont like gayers then do not go; simples....

oh, i aint been to breakfast on sunday mornings at the egg for ages and ages but that was always a hoot
 
regular attendance of early morning clubs can kick the shit out of your "soul" I found in the past.Especially if there is an after day or two cringe.Thankfully I havent done it for a few years.
Best club in the world for me would be a close mates house party with a nice mix of male and female.Must be getting old I often get bored at clubs in my infrequent trips to them.We will see if paradiso in Amsterdam in 2 weeks will give me "one more choon" :-)

they do exactly take it out of your soul afterhours clubs, exactly. hence a rare occurnce for me as a treat these days. probally about 3 times this year :)
 
I'm gonna get hated on for this (again) but fuck the haters

Ministry of Sound is fucking epic for Trance on a Friday night with it's Gallery night. It's growing on me all the time. Yes there are a few tourists and beer monsters but I go there all the time and think the atmosphere is electric. Everyone is caining the MDMA and the place is full of love. The end. Ohh and the worlds best Trance djs play there every Friday.

You can get House and Techno there too, like last Friday I was in the bar with Jody Wisternoff most of the night -- that was fucking e.p.i.c... Sasha was there on Saturday. Richie Hawtin has helf a MINUS night there. I can only speak for fridays though.

Can get busy though, toilets are shit as usual with UK clubs, there is free water fountain which is nice, cloakroom queue bad if you get there 11:30-1

A lot of the peeps I go clubbing with there rave about Air in birmingham and some of the northern clubs. I think they are good because everyone is there for the same reason (raving, pluring and common love of EDM) but the sound systems and general layout/epicness of our clubs (MOS, Fabric) are quite something
 
i have not bene to the gallery since it first began at turnmills in the early 90's, serious, lol. that is hold old i am
 
I used to goto the gallery @ turnmills -- I much, much prefer it at Ministry. What I love about ministry is shit like spaciousness, you can sit down, nicer bouncers, they let everyone in, amazing sound system, VIP is great for chilling too and meeting the djs (cheap to be gallery member)

Turnmills may have had less wankers but that place still haunts me
 
the ministry is ok. i mainly go gay clubs now anyway or mixed clubs. find ministry a bit teeny bopper so to speak when vie been, although i have not tried gallery there. u should go down to A:m at Fire afterwards. have u ever been? can get quite messy though....

in my opinion all my fave clubs have closed down, mainly the cross and the end. i have been clubbing in london for voer 20 years and nothing topped those two places to me

+1

I love Lakota!

I've been there for many a night in the last year. The atmosphere is always banging. Security is always spot on too. Usually. DMT night the security was tighter than usual Lakota. Pad down searches BEFORE going into cubicles in girls toilets.

Was an amazing night!

Did you stay for Producer set 6am at the end of DMT? They saved the best til last. Me and my mates are right in there in the front.
Just look at this...

Haven't been back to England for a while, but my favourite club which is still existing (I think) is Back to basics. Last time I went there it was at the Mint club.
Would love to go to Fabric, Gallery etc, but furthest I ever got in my clubbing days was Wolverhampton (with the exception of Twilo NYC).
Last time I went to Leeds all the bars which used to play house were playing indie/rock stuff. I like a lot of 80's and 90's indie (Stone Roses my fave) but never got into the Arctic Monkeys etc.

Maybe a tiny bit off topic, but seemed like a decent thread to ask:

Over in London for Christmas/New Year and we're thinking of going to Fabric. Been reading mixed reviews - has anyone been recently? Was it good? Is it a relaxed,nice up for it crowd or, as I've been reading, overflowing with tourists and people who actually don't even like the scene that much?

Any suggestions of good clubs in London - progressive house, techno etc, relaxed atmosphere? Thaanks :D
 
Some boy offered me some AMT at the DMT night, was it you?

I'll be in Scotland for NYE this year. The night at Timbuk2 and DMT's one look good though!

Dunno I was wearing a black henleys t shirt with a hoody round my waist was it me? LOL

I did offer it to some people I had it in capsules

swan/freeparty seem better options to me

i have to +1 for lakota as well DMT was an excellent introduction to it.
amazing soundsystem ran by people who really know what they're doing, insane venue (especially now with the church open), regular good nights, amazing crowds, sound enough bouncers and lots of good ol N2O
 
Was it your cousins first night on MDMA? If so then it was you.

Ha, met a BL'er and didn't even know.

Haha yeah it was my nephews first rave and first time doing mdma I was chattin to loads of peeps that night were you the one outside the church? You was talkin about how you ran out of mdma and needed more cuz you felt tired? Am I right?
 
Aye, outside the church bit with the entrance that we weren't meant to go into. I went off into there to explore empty rooms. I don't think I'd had any MDMA at that point, just speed and K, as I found a mate later on who gave me some MD :) I was on a must find somebody selling drugs mission when I was talking to you, that's how we got talking.

T'was you who told me about a free party that was happening afters, I remember now :)
