I'm not a fan of night-clubs, in all honesty i try my hardest to avoid going into one. If i happen to be out in an area where there is one.
You queue to get into the club, with most bouncers letting the "fit" girls in without letting them queue like the rest of us, a bit sexist i think. Costs £5+ to get into the club, but thats after you've passed the I'D check at the door. Then it costs £3 or something for them to store your coat, they give you a ticket which you need to get the coat back (most of the time, people lose it anyway). So before you even get in the club, you've spent £10 or more.
Drinks prices are extortionate, i mean it is near £3 for a bottle of VK or something which is smaller than the ones you get in a pub. Rounds can be cheaper, but not by much. I would have thought that drinks would be cheap being that many people coming in. But i see they need to make as much money as possible, and quickly.
Taxi's cost twice as much, and food as well on the way home costs more. (because they rip you off your change, thinking you are drunk).
Everytime i did go into one, it took 30+ minutes to get served (reasonings similar to Murr's). Except 1 or two additions being that because it is so busy, you order and don't get your drinks for another 5 minutes because they are dealing with Mr or Mrs "i'm the world, listen to me". Then it takes you a further 10 minutes to get back to where you left your friends, by then the drinks would have evaporated because it is so flippin hot inside from the sheer number of people inside. Then it takes 20 minutes to get to the bar to get more drinks.
Music is complete turd, all clubby, very loud and bassey (so you can't hear yourself) which i hate. Makes no sense at all, all beaty and very very repetitive. It is basically crap.
I could go into a story where i walked home because i was that annoyed with the peeps i went with, because they abandoned me in the club and did their own thing.
Think my firiend left me one time i went out clubbing and decided to go and meet new guys for one night stands. I went to meet new females, and they said "your girlfriend won't be happy". It seemed she told them i was going out with her, so preventing me from "pulling" that night. And any night i went clubbing really, she really p***ed me off, as i wasn't enjoying my nights at all. I wonder why people go clubbing, it is crap. And i don't see why you have to go clubbing to "pull" either.
I'd rather find a pub, stay there all night and have a good night with reasonably priced drinks and see how the night goes.
Rant over.
