I mean Mosh can be a decent night to be fair, it's just by 21 I felt too old to be there 

I think you're a year or two older than me, I'm 21 now and it's losing it's appeal - I will defend Leicester to the needs of the earth but the nightlife and pub scene let it down compared to comparable cities

I'd rather be a prisoner in The Democratic People's Republic of Korea than go to Republic, awful place. I used to absolutely love Mosh but I'm not sure if it's just me growing up a bit or if it's getting worse as well.

They totally have mixed up the genre of music on the floor's now. Sold it soul a bit.

 

Tuesday's 09-13 were for me when Mosh was at it's peak.

A year older in that case mate, it has enough decent pubs or bars to make it worth going but it's certainly inconsistent. From my own experience there's similar-sized cities that show it up but much, much worse places as well (see: Coventry)

Yeah hasn't helped, it was best when the bottom floor was full of grebs, you knew what you were getting. I think it's bassline now

I went about  a month ago, walked down... and just went straight back up again  they've killed that floor

[Kopfkino]

Yeah Mosh, especially on a Tuesday, when you're 18, hammered and need something to do - great option. Was always the easiest to place to pull a decent girl too just by virtue of not being a complete social werido. If you're not a social weirdo and go beyond the age of 19 then you've problems.

Still quite fond of Mosh, haven't been in ages mind but being absolutely wrecked for it is heaven on earth

Sector 5 and Fan Club for me in the 90's. Felt like a proper scene at the time if you were in to alternative music.. 

 

Also The Complex for a few years at the top of High Street,  just cans if I remember correctly. Leicester Uni had a killer Saturday night which got absolutely rammed.

You must have been around the same time as me then. Did we ever fight ?

Was called Brighton Beach when I went about 10-12 years ago. Much better than whatever night they had/have on at the Academy now.

Yeah was great. Once went to it at Sheffield City Hall which is a cracking venue.

 

Do Leicester Uni even put on nights now?

No idea to be honest, I guess the o2 is now used most weekends so doubtful.

 

There used to go to Brighton Beach then on to Mosh and then somewhere else after I have no idea what it was called but was open till about 6am and was a horrible little place but was about the only place you could go after Mosh

Those were the days.  1995-1999.  Fan club regular.

That's the one!! only went a couple of times! was an odd place!

[RoboFox]

Mosh was great when I used to go out in Leicester, from around 2006-10. Tuesday nights were always pretty good after a sesh in Nine Bar, Pi or on Brauny gate. 

 

Zanzibar and Liquid not so much. Grimy and full of knuckle draggers. After the smoking ban came in, they just stunk of piss and puke.

I used to like it in there, a friend of mine who's a SICK scratch DJ used to run a night once a week - good times.

Yes remember those. Don't think they gave the night a name when I went. So long ago

Bouncer got shot at, which soon turned into the end of it.

If you can get in go to Basement, it’s the next street along from Sophbeck but it’s ok in there. 

 

Always struggle to get in and they won’t let any group of lads in.

Early 1990s

 

Dance Society was achingly cool for a year. Next to.megabowl. it was a club so cool it didn't belong in Leicester.

 

Bear Cage was surreal. Three tiny floors on night street. Rave/techno, indie and A N Other music separated each floor

 

There was a gaff near Starlite 2001...I'd be delighted if someone can recall.its name. All the cool dudes went there after dance society closed.

 

Luxor. Opposite banntynes gym. You had to be handy and well connected to get on in there.

 

Simpkins always a safe bet and winner. Did anyone else used to wonder what the hell.would happen if there was a fire? Certain death.

 

Happy days. Funnily enough, I never considered myself a 'clubber' but when you list it down, I was quite on the scene

 

Edit - not starlite!!!! I meant street life!!!

Spent a good two years in diehard every other week. Surprised it stayed open as long as it did, not a place to get the beers in.

Must have walked a million miles doing the circuit round the dance floor on the pull. Managed it once every 5 years. Anyone remember rod Stewart(will?) and twinnie always in suits?
