Exeter, Devon, UK- review by Night

This is partly driven by boredom, partly by my want to remember my nightlife at uni and partly by the mass questions I get about the night life at Exeter University. Unlike London, Leeds, Manchester or the like, Exeter is a little city which is practically dominated by the University; hence the locals take the presence of students like paedophiles in a playground. However there are some silver linings to this local hating mini village.

Firstly there may only be a max of 4 useable clubs, but straight out of school or off the back of your gap year, they are exactly what you need (remember this is a bit old…but)

Arena

From my memories I would call this the electric dace club out of the lot, you still get the cheese played and clothes taken off, but it is more dance floor than anything else. With a guest appearance from the backwards imbed Welsh Glenn from BB.

Timepiece

Pub on one level dirty dirty dual level club above, lots of classic music and rugby guys getting naked and pissing with there pants on the floor (aah I get to vent here, I must admit I kind of hung around the rugby crowed but I was not cool enough to eat my own vomit, piss naked and kiss men…how I missed out)

Warehouse

The large club with multiple rooms on the Key (on the river) standard shitty little club, which becomes bearable by the many offers on Alco pops drowning your humanity and vision..

Voltz

The club to be at… hoho… probably the most renowned and changed names almost as many times as warehouse this club has a standard refurbished top level, sporting a central bar and 5/10 seating areas…Night to remember would be Bade’s who gives a shit night where he actually got 3 strippers in….The bottom floor is more like a hole, full of naked men dancing to Baywatch, though credit due, think we all pulled more women in this hole than the rest of our lives hold for us…

Other "clubs"

Rococcos – seriously local yokel, few visits in 3 years were enough and provided for some fun outside the norm.

The Vault – the gayest club on the planet – One visit in a life time is enough – not the usual London good music dancing gay club but more a hole in the floor with sleazy old men speaking in Devenish bark.

The Lemmy – Awesome amazing student union, being I think the largest “club” in Exeter, but as it is a SU I am not considering this a form of club, however there are many live acts (I got to see Rhazel and put on my handkerchief around my head and wear my trousers down low)

So once again that is my personal view on an alcohol driven industry, I feel I should possibly change this conundrum and review something more cultural...hmmm I wonder...

PS.. Alcohol is really bad for you and makes you do fucking dumb things, so drink responsibly little ones…
