davieG Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 UK nightclubs closing at 'alarming rate', industry figures suggest Nearly half the UK's nightclubs have shut their doors in just 10 years, according to figures seen by Newsbeat. The Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR), which represents venues, says in 2005 there were 3,144 clubs and this is now down to 1,733. Chief Executive Kate Nicholls reckons that in some towns "they are gone for good and we're never going to get them back". But people like Rudimental have told us that clubbing trends "go in cycles". The ALMR warns the closures will leave the UK worse off "culturally, socially and economically". It classes a club as a place meant for "late night entertainment, usually music and dancing". http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33713015/uk-nightclubs-closing-at-alarming-rate-industry-figures-suggest
ramboacdc Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 not any more. gave it up after deciding if i want to pay nearly £4 for a bottle of beer and £10 to get in i would rather spend my time in the family stand.
kingcarr21 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Havent been out in Leicester nightclubs for years. Just full of dickheads wanting to start fights for no reason. Bars are much better for a decent nightlife. Not that i go out much anyway as id rather spend my money on the kids
stripeyfox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Surely this is simply a side effect of pubs opening later? Back in the day when we went out on a Friday / Saturday night, the pubs shut at 11 so it was logical to join the queue for the nightclub. Now pubs open until the wee small hours, there is no longer a need as such for the "nightclub"
MikeyT Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I'm 35 now and don't think I've set foot in a nightclub since my very early 20's. Too many pi**ed up idiots going about looking for trouble.
AKCJ Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I'm a pissed up idiot who looks for trouble....so yes.
EnderbyFox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Leicester's Nightclubs are shit anyway, tend to stick to bars
lavrentis Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Don't really like them tbh but occasionally I will go to one.
Finnegan Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Bars are a thousand times better than clubs and now open late. Clubs are done.
Christoph Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Leicester's Nightclubs are shit anyway, tend to stick to bars This. When I go out, it usually to go out with my friends and have a laugh and it's hard to have a laugh with your mates in a club because the music is so loud you can barely talk (other than the smoking area). Whenever I go to clubs I end up in the smoking area the most just because its the only place you can usually talk to people and I don't even smoke. A lot more bars that act as 'mini clubs' which lets people hop from one place to the next without having to pay an entry fee and be stuck in one place all night.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I can't stand most dance music and getting sweaty with pilled-up arseholes (not suppositories) so no. I did used to enjoy Mosh few years ago but I'm late 20's now and feel like a dirty old man in there, they all look about 16. The music's alright, and the last couple of times I went the basement DJ put on everything I requested, which is awesome
Beliall Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 i went to a nightclub a few weeks ago for the first time in ages, about 10 years in fact, seems there kids, posers and hipsters everywhere. hated it. (this was in bedford btw)
Finnegan Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 You'd have to get me totally blazed to go in Mosh and I'm pretty sure even then I'd feel like Adam Johnson at a Secondary School leaving party.
GLC Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Not been to one in ages! i have my stag do in a couple of weeks, so i might be forced in to one then haha
Fox92 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Go to the right ones, yeah. Decent music and good prices and I'm in.

Wymsey Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Bars are a thousand times better than clubs and now open late. Clubs are done. Most bars are only open, typically, until 11:00 on weekdays - I don't consider that as very late. Also, most are only open until midnight on Saturdays.
ScouseFox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 You'd have to get me totally blazed to go in Mosh and I'm pretty sure even then I'd feel like Adam Johnson at a Secondary School leaving party. really turned on?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 really turned on? lolI like Oceana to end a night out I must say. Don't go out that much tho
RonnieTodger Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Not really in Leicester anymore. Always end up somewhere if I'm in another city though.
Asha Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Not any more, I haven't really enjoyed them whenever I've been recently. It was always a fantastic laugh at uni but since then it's always been a bit shit. Bars are King now.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I went clubbing quite regularly for about 8 weeks in 2003. Hope this helps. Someone in our party was denied entry into Mosh a couple of years later, basically because they were too old, and you knew then that the sands of time were fast running out as far as that particular game was concerned. I always found it a bit of an endurance test even when I was younger, and given how miserable and aggressive a lot of folk seem to be on big nights out I'm not the only one
ScouseFox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 yeah some of you clearly aren't going to the right ones/don't have any good ones to go to. obviously if you go to envy/republik/whatever the rest are called on a saturday night it will be shit. loads of boss ones in liverpool that i frequent weekly. great places. free to get in on the whole too.
