The only other club worth visting is Drakes. I tend to make it there more often than Moshulu because it's closer and I can only nip out for 30mins at a time. I was in there watching Black Atom last Friday. Ace! The younger more energetic members of the bar team usually hit Moshulu after we close.
The other thing I'd suggest is (surprise) that you start your evening at The Moorings Bar. We are within in easy reach of both Drakes and Moshulu AND it's possible to get to Moshulu from the Moorings via a secret shorter route through the Green, and up the stairs under the Trinity Centre meaning you can avoid running the Gauntlet of hate that is Union Street on weekend nights.
The Moorings Bar is an alternative venue but a little different in approach. We're a little broader spectrum, but that doesn't mean more mainstream, it just means you'll encounter more diversity of culture. The atmosphere is VERY friendly and the emphasis is on fun. We're very serious about not taking ourselves too seriously.
Big tip is to sample the specials. This is our good quality liquer. These'll get you drunk much more pleasantly, and it takes a lot less of them. the specials should be a lot more expensive but we discount them heavily.
Whatever you do - don't buy bottles of Miller MGD. This is a neds drink so we crank the price up to unbelievable levels to (sucessfully) discourage Neds from frequenting the bar. Our other bottle beers come in at £1.80 to £2.00 and students get 10% off. Miller comes in at £2.50. Heh heh heh. Let's face it, it tastes like pish anyway.
Friday Nights we do a Rock Night called The Wrecking Ball. Pretty much every rock subtype is given decent representation. If you bring something in then Cee Jay will probably play it. Especially if you are nice and buy her a drink.
We close at 1am on Fri & Sat and midnight the rest of the time. There are always contingents that head up to Drakes and Moshulu (safety in numbers) at some point towards the end of the evening.
