Clubs in Leeds
Leeds was voted Best UK City for Clubbing, certainly not for nothing! People flock to the city from all parts of the country for a bit of the action. It is common to meet clubbers from London on a night out. The city centre is packed to bursting with bars and clubs, ranging from cutting edge chic to indie and alternative to cheesy tunes for the drunken masses to small select places for people who really like their music (house is still very much in vogue in Leeds, but whatever your musical taste is, you are guaranteed to find something). Here is a short list of some of the best and/or most popular places in the city at the moment:
The Cockpit, city centre, . �
Discotheque by Gatecrasher. Very popular Saturday nights. £10-£15 entry Sat. Night. �
Halo, city centre. Student nightclub located in a former church near the university entrance, where you will find Voodoo and Skewed Circus events. Skewed Circus is the pan-Northern funky alternative cabaret event run by theatre, comedy and musical promotions company Komedy Kollective held monthly in Leeds, at the Halo nightclub. Similar high profile monthly events are held at Manchester and Bradford. A mile from the city centre. Voodoo is also always packed and a great night. More mainstream dance. �
Hifi. Good range of live music, particularly jazz. Regularly voted the best club in the city, has a range of quality nights out with quality music in easy-going yet chic surroundings...everything from jazz to reggae to hip hop. �
Mint. Quality dance music nights. Much to eet. �
Mission. Very trendy. Ranging nights, from Glasshouse to Purrfect Electro this has it. It also has some gay nights. �
My House. (aka Stinky's Peephouse) - new home for one of the UK's biggest club nights: Back to Basics (Sa). �
Oceana. Huge, has many rooms, overpriced (like all other big nightclubs in Leeds) but still fun. 19+ Friday night, 21+ Saturday night. Upstairs can be hired out for private events until 10PM when it opens, but this is a cheap way to get friends (people or under 21) in on a Saturday night. �
Rehab, Assembly Street, city centre. After a shaky period, this club is picking itself back up, having poached ever-popular nights Speedqueen and Fruity. �
The Space. Great Thursday nights (Habit) and great weekends sometimes too! Although Fridays and Saturdays are to be avoided unless you know it will be busy, its not really a Friday or Saturday night place. �
Townhouse. Very trendy bar (and pseudo-club) for the beautiful (and well-dressed) with a range of music and great drinks. Upstairs can be hired out for private events. �
Wire. Quality indie, rock and alternative club. �
There are several gay nights (and fully gay venues) in clubs on and around Lower Briggate, including Mission, Fibre and Queen's Court.
The West Indian Centre on Chapeltown Road has a reputation for great fun nights of a less-mainstream kind, including ever-popular monthly Subdub. Whilst the venue itself is friendly and safe (or as safe as can be expected from a club), Chapeltown has a bad reputation, and to avoid trouble, go in fairly large groups and don't wonder around outside. It is best to take a taxi or at least a bus. Don't walks the two miles from the centre as it is very difficult to find the place, and it is near rough estates.
