clubs, good/bad/to expensive/... ?

[TT]

Really not my stuff.. for me a good night out is a dinner in a nice little restaurant by the lake and then a nice movie at the theathers.. and back at home around midnight... I don't like to live in a different time zone :P

[mindgam3]

hmmm depends, we don't have a great variety here in cambridge, but i'm going to uni in london soon which has a great clubbing scene ;) Only downside is the price, some cost upwards of £50 to get in which isnt really in my budget range :P

[TransAm]

I just wonder about the opinion of the others here on JW ;)


Well, I visit them a lot.
We have a great club-scene here in Belgium, so it's normal then.
Sometimes even drive 100km to go to one, even if there are 5 (maybe even more) within a 20km radius.
Saturdaynight mostly is clubbing time. Entrance is about 7-8€ for most of them, boose is more expensive then in a normal bar but I don't drink that much so don't care about it.

Only 2 things I hate are the bouncers begging for money when you leave :roll:
And that it's getting later and later each year. Few years ago when you arrived at midnight it was allready rather full. Now when you arrive before 1am there aren't that many people and it really starts at 2am. It ends at 7-8 in the morning. Funny coming home and your dad is allready awake to go to work :p

Your description very much fits the Munich club scene, I lived there during year 2000, as in nothing really happens much before midnight and it all carries on til 7/8am. Kunstpark Ost is the place to be in Muenchen. Sadly, I'm past all that now and have to concur with TT as to what is a good night out.

Funnily enough though, there is a nightclub near me (i.e. walking distance which in Texas means literally on your doorstep -everything is well spread out) called 'The Horsemans' yep you guessed it - the dress code really is Cowboy Hat and Boots, country music, and dollar a bottle beers on ladies night. Fan-tastic. Great laugh though, and the ladies are friendly :wink:

In defence of Texas, cos it's a lovely place really, if you drive 40 miles/65km to Dallas, it gets MUCH better!! Everything from "ritzy's" style clubs (the UK readers'll know what I mean) through to proper clubs with proper music and DJ's that can do more than fade in and out!! :D

Some clubs and most bars here don't have bouncers, but actual policemen doing bouncer duties. I've never seen any trouble, and that's probably the reason why.

Costs are between $5 (Fort Worth) and up to about $20 (the Dallas clubs)

[T-Bird]

I'm not a club kind of person and probably won't be once I can drink either. We always hang out on a Saturday and just go to a Movie like TT said and get something to eat and then usually end up back at my house or sometimes someone elses and I will sit and be on here pathetically (My computer is always on and 80% of the time on this site even if I'm not home) while talking to them and watching movies whatever till about 1am and then everyone usually goes home. Sometimes we will go Downtown and walk around and go shopping on Michigan and stuff like that, maybe to Navy Pier (for people familiar with Chicago).

There are some bouncers in the uk which are proper twats, don't have any respect or anything. I think having police at the doors instead of bouncers is probably a good idea although i doubt it will ever happen in the UK with our already stretched out force. All pubs in the UK have to stop serving drinks at 11 and close soon after and clubs at 2. This has been causing loads of problems with drunken brawling etc as theres loads of people on the streets all at once at 11 and 2. They're considering allowing pubs 24 hour opening times and clubs similar options which should reduce this and will be much better for clubbers.... can't wait ;)

[gis]

there is a good clubbing scene here in lancashire,people go around wigan and preston and bolton (other towns) get very very busy around there,but im also the same as TT really,if i go out and drink its usually at xmas,new year or my birthday to the pub for a few but i wouldnt go and do clubbing much not really my scene,a movie and a meal is good for me :D

hehe i meant i'm sure you could get into some pubs n clubs if u really wanted to

[T-Bird]

WTF is "i can do fcuk all"?

Is there a filter between your brain and your hands?

[No.1]

Woah... well i go out quite a lot and i don't really like to drink, so i don't get wasted and have a massive hangover... only 4-5 drinks for me in one night. :D
There are loads of people who get trashed, and start getting violent, so i prefer to be tucked up in bed by 1-2AM :wink:

When i was younger, kids used to hang around on the street drinking cheap cider 'cos they thought it was cool.. i stayed away from them :roll:

Also.. i live near Manchester and have been out in some of the places gis has mentioned... they are nothing compared to London clubs. You get to hang out with all the celebs, tho i have only been out in London a few times :( It's a bit wild though, with drugs going round free etc, and i am glad to say i have never taken any drug apart from alcohol and cannabis (a few times, not a regular dope-head) 8) .. not bad, considering the problem that i have heard of amongst people my age in the UK.

[styla21]

i live about 10 minutes walk from the club central of Australia - surfers paradise. There's getting some diversity now; there's the ritzy clubs to piano bars to sport bars and the like. Only problem with being so multi-cultural is that there is such a diversity of a race and it can lead to some pretty major brawls. Clubs go through to 5 am, and it seems once the clock strikes midnight, the drugs come out and it's when things get a lil sketch.
We have some wicked lounge bars though - the type of club which is laid back, you can be eating in one place and throwing a couple down, just chillin and having fun, and on the otherside there is the dj for those wanting to get a groove on. since they're a little more sophisticated and glamorous, you don't tend to get as many freaks come through, so these are my #1 pick :P

what you never heard of fcuk (french connection UK)
lol, at 16 you can get in to some bars and so on over hear, i don't know about over there,
but only go to clubs mayb once a week, bars mayb 2-3, but i watch alot of movies, prob, like a movie a day (4 @home, 2 out) but the big thing now with me and my friends is poker, that is what fills up most of my nights (after the movies :D )

I didnt want to offend any of you dick heads :P haha.

With reagrds to mindgam's comment i really couldnt, although i am 16, i am a short-arse (it's my mother's fault) i look about 14/15 cos of my dwarf like stature. If i told anyone that i had just finished, and was awaiting the results of my GCSE's most ppl would tell me to shut up and piss off back to first school.

[X-ale]

Hahahahah, make yourself some false ID, dwarf. Hahahahhahahahahahaha

[topgeartom]

thanks, you really help my situation

[gis]

im sure u could get into a pub mate.dress smartly and you will trust me,a club might be harder though wuithout an ID.

thenumber1 - same here mate,i avoided the guys who drank cider on the streets every night mostly,in the long run it was better for me not gettin into all the stuff they did

[topgeartom]

cheers for the advice, but i actually prefer to go for a nice meal rather than getting pissed. There are loads o ppl at my school, in my year, who's lives revolve around getting absolutely lathered evry night, and if they dont get COMPLTETELY rat-arsed then it has not been a good night out. When i get to 18 i am still gonna go out and enjoy a couple of bevvys with my mates at the local, but i just dont see the attraction of drinking shit loads of brown liquid, and then making an arse of yourself in public.

[X-ale]

Print this and iron some plastic over it. Ask your mama if you don't know how to use one, you might get burned.

My friend has that problem, he's 22 but looks 16.

I go occasionally, it's not something I like to do on a weekly basis. It's also too damn expensive. $15 to get in, $5+ for each drink. No thanks.
I'd rather chill at someones house (or my house) with friends, have a few beers and shoot the shit. Thats a normal weekend for me.

[topgeartom]

Thats really odd actually - i recently had my last science class ever as i have just left school - i am going back to study further tho. Anyway, our teacher gave us little joke awards, and he gave me this little plastic "Secret squirrel" cos he said i was the most likely to become a secret agent later inlife!!!! haha

[possessed_beaver]

clubbing, - yes every weekend!!!

also big here is something called the "sunday session" basicley u get pretty slaughtered sunday night, and have a nice hang over monday morning.

drinks can be quite expensive, basicley u drink as much as u can before u go out, lol.

as for drugs extacey tablts are about (rough conversion 18 pounds!!!)

i hear in europe they go for like 4 pounds each!!!!

[Chaos in 1983!]

Yup..I like to club too!...but clubbing here is VERY cheap...to get into the best club in managua you pay around US$8...and you can drink all the Vodka, Rum, & Beer you want...yes bouncers here are bithces too...they get pretty anoying...when I first started going they wouldn't let me in because I look a lot younger than I am...but that was like 3 years ago...now they know me and everythings cool...I usually go on wednesday and fridays...saturday I go catch a movie or something...

[Kal-EL905]

I work as a bouncer in a small section of Hamilton called Hess Village. It's basically a small stretch or road with a bunch of old homes that have been converted into clubs. It's a pretty nice place to hang out because you can visit all the bars in one night, and most of them don't charge you to get in.

The bar I work at is called Koi. It's a smaller bar but it's more upscale. It's 23 and older so there are no young punks to deal with which creates a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Most people that go there spend between $30-$60 a night, so it's not too expensive.

Being the door man has it's advantages too, I get to decide who comes in and who doesn't. Needless to say I let in all the hot ladies.

Cheers,
Kal-EL

[bmagni]

i dont club that much anymore, my clubbing frenzy was when i was on trip in europe, but here its kinda special... and its boring for me, good clubs are elitist, so most of people (young people) that go to those clubs is the kind of money based attitude which i dont like and i dont enjoy and in the other hand the other clubs aint cool. so i prefer partying at some friends house and go clubbin one night a month at the most... its been like 2 months since i last did

[possessed_beaver]

About 5€ here.
If you know some people rather well, then you get'm at 1€ a piece...
But xtc is way to dangerous, pumps up your heartbeat to high and you loose all sence of reality. With the possible risk of a badtrip, and then you're fucked.

thoes prices are totaly unheard of here, and the stuff here has been cut like 50 times, so u get very little of the origional XTC
