I know the area quite well and I've never noticed there is a club there, what sort of music is it normally?
Fuck that, I'm not handing the choice of whether I get in or not over to some style nazi on the door.
Me neither though i once wasn't allowed into MOS the only time i ever tried to go because i wasn't deemed dressed up enough by the lady on the door - ironically i used to always wear tiny pink dresses and tiara's and fairy wings - out to normal clubs - which is exaclty the look they were going for - but i thought i should dress up to go to MOS (it was someones birthday and i wasnt' overly excited in the first place)
ETA - also if i was on the door at MAYA there is no way i'd let in an 18 year old boy who clearly isn't streetwise enough to have got onto the clubbing scene by that age....
I'd much go somewhere down to earth and enojy myself rather then be in a club with the "pretty people"
No, it has nothing to do with whether you are attractive or not. It has to do with whether your face and outfit works for the style nazi. It sounds like the perfect place for shallow people who pay far too much attention to outward appearance but its not for me.
That Maya place sounds like my personal hell It's pretty easy to pull anywhere in Soho to be honest, hell, I even pulled a guy in G-A-Y once.
Innit.
Fuck that shit, I'll take a sweaty pilled up night at dirty and grimey 'Happy Jack's' near London Bridge over that place any day.
Lol I wouldn't really call the Walkabout a club....more of a bar innit.
Still the one in Brighton is wicked, it's always stop number 2. in our night out routine. :thumb:
Not a club as such but you'll most of the people there will be aussies and kiwis:

Sounds like a bunch of poseurs trying to out-mince each other. Sounds like those totally fake places you get in the West End full of apathetic twats.
Give me a place with atmosphere any day and people you'd actually want to speak to and who have something to say apart from how much their jeans cost.
The Electric Ballroom on a Friday is one of the best nights in London.
I still havent been to brighton one. Some of the bar/clubs I aviod like the plauge but I'd quite like to go to the walkabout.
Or The Redback's Tavern? :razz:
One of my most hated places.
Wherever you go get your names on the guestlist in advance or be prepared to be turned away from every place you go to. I went to someone's London Birthday party and the only place we ended up in was Burger King - they see a large group of lads and no one wants to let you in - prebook in advance or don't bother coming to London.
Or................. just stagger the times and numbers you turn up in.
And what happens when one group gets in and the others don't?
London clubs can be very fussy. I think there's probably loads of better places to go to then London.
It's a Birthday party so if they don't bother prebooking and making some sort of effort to get themselves organised in advance they only have themselves to blame.
To be honest, I've only had issues getting in at shitty tourist cheesy clubs (which I very rarely go to). Mix it up with some girls in the group. Surely people know people of both sexes?
I do agree that pre-booking (and getting there early, so avoiding any queues) is a good idea.
Also, don't argue with the bouncers. If they say no, just stand around quietly outside. They'll be watching for attitude. Years ago (yes, in London) we got turned away for us being a group of lads (the girls we knew were inside). We just stood around discussing our options quietly and in a few minutes the bouncer came over and said "you seem a nice bunch of lads... come in". Wicked.
Simply put, attitude gets you nowhere. Also - make sure nobody is obviously drunk, as that doesn't help. Especially if you're young 'uns.
The Martin Audio soundsystem in Fabric is far superior.
Danny Howells 7hr set @ Ministry last month was amazing.
The sound system is fucking brilliant.
The lineups are by far superior.
:eek2:
Shame about the rest of the club, eh?
Depends on your views/tastes etc. I can't stand Fabric and point black refuse to go there any more. I laugh when my international mates (and people from around the UK) come to visit. Straight away, they mention Fabric and MoS as the clubs they want to go to, as those are the big Brand Names known. Shame for me and just about all the people I know, they don't live up to the hype (in fact, don't even come close).
I can cope with MoS on some nights as I have had mates run some nights there, and also play there quite often, so I know there will be a chunk of decent people in there. As a general rule though, I just don't bother. I find there is a lack of atmosphere, and far too many blokes eye-balling each other.
You know, I am *still* mourning the death of the four decent clubs this last 6 months
Happy Jacks is gash.
Turnmills - glad its gone tbh.
For me fabric has everything. Decent crowd, amazing soundsystem and quality lineups. It is expensive , but its London!
Sounds like a brilliant place. :rolleyes:
The cost doesn't really bother me. EVERY club in London is expensive
I find the crowds in Fabric are shite though. No atmosphere, and not very friendly.
Turnmills had it's moments. Was never my favourite, not by a long shot, but for the rare mash-up with a certain couple of groups of friends of mine, I had some good times. Something I never had at Fabric - and I can make best of just about any situation. I just never felt comfortable there at all.
