The Astoria

Reviews

• Astoria

  Have been to see a couple of things here I should say that they were both good, The exit and entrance to get in to the venue is a bit small for the often massive volume of people going through the doors and we were afraid we would be crushed by every one pushing to get out at the end of the night. Other wise its ok for this sort of venue. Drink prices are high, but it is to be expected really. A good venue if the access situation is sorted, or may be we are just not used to all that pushing and shoving.

• Push- Astoria 2 (venue/ club night)

  The sister venue to the Astoria nexdoor which played host to legendary club nights such as Frong and G-A-Y for years, Astoria 2 is smaller but very similar. Downstairs a stage area and large dance floor with a small bar and upstairs a comparitively larger bar in a much smaller space. Having only been on a saturday night i know only what they play at Push. Indie hits mixed with electro and ironically played hip hop actually makes good music to dance to. The average age of the club is about 21 but ranges from 18 up wards. they are strict on id but if you are a student you normally get in for free and a whiskey and coke is very cheap at £1.50. Live music is often played but "celebrity" djs are usually the norm, the inverted commas refer to the fact that "celebrity" here means people from virtually unknown bands or better known ones like bloc party being the more famous. A good night out in an "underground" feeling night club, if there isnt anything betetr to do and you dont have much money.
