I'm in the opinion that Exodus only does so well because of the lack of decent competition, it is pretty much the only "indie/alternative" club in Aberdeen and the drinks are cheap enough to get you fairly blottoed without breaking the bank. Exodus has lost its appeal for me, and has done for a while, when I first came here it was good and had a kind of niche appeal, but recently the "indie/alternative" thing has become popular and I find it too busy and in my opinion has lost the atmosphere it had three or four years ago. Just my opinion though, probably to do with getting older and a lot of people do like it. I had a really good night on New Years night cause it wasnt very busy and the crowd was more like what it used to be, havent been in since the refurb so cant really comment on that.
