Lemonade Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Did anyone ever attend Moshulu before it became Moshulu when it was still known as The Zuu? They used to have the most legendary Sunday Nights in about 1998/1999 in there.... 10 entry and a free bar all night, you got issued one glass when you got in and you exchanged your empty glass at the bar for a drink of your choice. Then when you finished your drink you swapped that empty glass for another 1 drink. brilliant, except if you put your glass down while you went to the toilet somebody would swipe it so they could have 2 empty glasses and get 2 drinks at a time and they wouldn't give you another one!They always used to have cheesey student dance records playing. I remember going once to see a live DJ set by Greigsy.... yes that twat from Northsound 1. The shame. The best part about the Zuu is that is was always totally packed with sluts. Sluts at the bar, sluts on the dancefloor, just sluts as far as the eye could see. You had to be a complete socially inept gargoyle not to get a trap in the Zuu. Loved it!

Camie Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 My sister and brother law first met in there. Apparently it was a bit like liquid in a way. Didn't know anything about a free bar.How did they afford a free bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 It wasn't free, you paid a tenner. I remember Zuu, it was a dump, really not that different to Moshulu except the music played.I prefered Ministry personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know anything about a free bar.How did they afford a free bar?They only did the free bar on a Sunday. When you think about it though, the tenner you paid at the door (10 years ago remember) although only getting you maybe 5 drinks at bar prices would have probably bought a 3litre bottle of vodka at the wholesale prices the bar are buying it at, so you weren't really drinking a tenner's worth of booze. Yeah they probably didn't make any profit off it but it got people in the club and it might have helped them make money other nights. I had some great nights in the Zuu. Mind you it was thef irst nightclub I went to when I first moved here from Fraserburgh so I would have been impressed with anything really.

Also the DJ was really high up. Like there was like a huge DJ riser and he was about 20 foot in the air. I remember singing along to "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester", which tells you what kind of club it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hmm, I possibly went once or twice when I was in 1st year at university, but my memory of that time is quite hazy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Unfortunatly I remember getting dragged there on multiple occasions. Utter dump. It was chavvy as hell and played lots of Scooter. Even worse if you had to go to Henry J Beans/Berlins first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia just aint what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
