I'm sure people have tried. The Ministry used to have some decent nights but it's gone and got all commercial and pish now. Kef do D'n'B and techno nights but I'm not really into DnB or techno. I like a bit of house or trance myself. Drum is a little to hard house for my pallete. A little bit of Ibiza here in Aberdeen would suit me just fine, just now it's either chart dance or rock for nightclubs.

I agree. At least it served to keep those bams out of other places. Don't mind a good club of its sort occasionally but it has been a very long time since I could describe any night there as any sort of good.

Speaking of closures, what happened to ICI? Seemed not too long after its renovation.

Ici's shut down? That's one of those places that's in a prime spot and which I walk past virtually every time I'm on a night out but I never bother going in to. It doesn't really have anything to make it stand out. Mediocre food, mediocre music, mediocre everything really. It coud be a big success being as it's on one of the busiest parts of Union St.

Yes. It was a pretty revolutionary place for Aberdeen in its heyday but had sunk into a long slow decline. In some ways, I'm surprised it lasted this long.

Again some of the characters who drunk regularly in there could be a bit colourful.
