Default :: Lo Down :: Opening 29th October ::
Lo Down is a new late-night lounge and club, housed in three supporting arches (dated circa. 1800) on Carnegies Brae below Aberdeen’s main thoroughfare, Union Street. Carnegies Brae is accessed from two points; the side of Marks and Spencer or from the Green.

Entertainment is high on the agenda, along with a good, reasonably-priced selection of house, premium and mixed drinks. Unless otherwise stated, entry is free at all times.

During the week we drape one of the arches off, where you can take advantage of our drink offers whilst lounging to a rotation of DJ’s, spinning an eclectic selection from soul and hip-hop, disco and funk to broken beat and house.
Friday/Saturday nights open the club up for a rotation of new and established clubnights catering for all your audio requirements. Special guests also feature regularly.
Jazz cats - make your way to Lo Down on Sundays for the Maison Bourbon Live Jazz Collective.

Although the website is still a work in progress, there is an option to sign up for our membership scheme that will launching soon. Members will be entitled to drink offers and discounts on tickets for high profile events, amoungst other benefits. Visit www.lo-down.co.uk.

Another benefit to those signing up early, will be the opportunity to land passes for our preview opening night on Thursday 27th October. There will be complimentary champagne and shooters, whilst entertainment will be provided by the Maison Bourbon Live Jazz Collective, followed by Martin "Big Boy" Jay (and no, that is not my nickname for him. Neither is it his girlfriend's.).

why? do you assume people that go to hip hop gigs are all gang bangers waiting to kick the shit out of the indie kids across the road?
