Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• You can't go wrong with most bars on Mutley Plain or North Hill. The best bars on Mutley Plain are: The Mannamead, Goodbodies, Cafe Sol, The Dog and Duck, The Underground, The Mutley Crown, Boomerangs. Best bars on North Hill are: The Pit Bar, Bac, Cuba, Ride, The Skiving Scholar and The Roundabout. Clubs in town have gone downhill a bit in the last few years. The Walkabout is probably the best of the bunch that plays cheese! It closes at 2am though! Premonition @ Candy Store on Friday nights is the best night out trance/techno-wise. Apparently The Cooperage is now running some decent trance/techno nights again and The Warehouse has been recommended to me (still got to go there though!).
• c103 as bad as jfks was there are a few nights in the voodoo and goodies that feature live bands and good dj's collin and corrad bigup.but fridays at c1jfks03 is full of the living underage dead the music is not good and the dj's should retire to whaterver pit they came from.student nights are now monday and wednesdays at oceana clean tidy and better drink deals than the rest the djs need sortin though.
• Destinys is the best night ive had out in plymouth and heros dance accademy is a place for druggies and pill poping morons who want to get a life
• rock nights at the cooperage on saturdays with three rooms for oldies and youngies
• Wherever U.F.O. are holding there nights(in the Hub AFAIK ATM). Also Flava. And there is a decent techno night; "oorpi" that do events in the Warehouse on Union St (not the old warehouse/Flicks on the corner that hosted Waspfactory/Alpha Spacelines etc events), the new one furthur down on the left
• the mez bar? where is it?!
• scoller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• The Phoenix has a wide range of bands playing, from emo to ska to metal to jazz.
• the sooner they nock the student union down the better it has the atmospear of a public toilet and the piss and puke to match 103s is a dump
• c103s is really cool, has special nights like Friday is Rock night where they play pretty ehavy stuff. There are 3 rooms, a dance room, the main cheese room and the smaller room, usually used for rock. Destiny's is a bit cheesy but its ok once in a while. Walkabout isnt too great, there is broken glass all over the floor and the music is a bit repetitive. Bars - Wetherspoons on Mutley Plain is great, does nice cocktail jugs. Heroes is very classy too, and right next to destiny's so you can drink in peace and then go partaaaaay without having to queue at the bar in Destiny's for half an hour. A good place to see live music is actually the Student Union! Its a bit sweaty in there though.
• Psycadelic Techno @ Tramps, bretonside bus station
• Right my little beatys. Oz and Blondz were millenium, but went bust and out of business apparently. Destinys does not have top djs at all. Its cheesy as c103, but the girls arent bad. Typical plymouth, too many blokes, not enough up for it ladies, C103 is basically the midnight phantom youth club, alays has been, always will be. Harry tates, full of puppies and chavs but your guarenteed to take a girl home with you, and probably a couple of unwanted nasties too. Know what I mean. Keep it real plymouth, power to the people.
• Dance Academy=pills/fun, C103=students/possible shag, Candy Store=bling/more bling, Destinies=bad music/good fun
• The Warehouse on a Saturday, C103 on Friday both pretty good rock nights next to each other on union street

• most of the clubs are closed down now because Destiny put them out of business but theres still plenty of bars around
• C103: Formerly 'JFK's'. Definitely an alternative joint, with a Rock Night on Fridays. You feel outcast for looking normal, in this place. Less trouble, though.
• Friday nights c103 union st Rock night if anyone is intrested
• Candy Store is a banging club at the western end of union street away from the fighting drunks of the all inclusive bars and clubs but in the chilled mellow drugs culture area of clubs, hardly any trouble.
• Destiny's is supposed to be good, Dance Academy is definitely BANGING.
• Formerly JFK's but now C103. JFK's used to be the place that under 18's would go. it was like the only club you were likely to get in to when you first started drinking. also a good place for older guys to pick up younger chicks.Now under new management its a bit shitter. the tenner all enclusive nites of summer 2003 were great fun.
• Caffeine Club is no more!! BOO HOO!!
• its dance academy in plymouth thats got the drug pushers not millenium
• most of the clubs are all centred on union street which means all the 'swillyites'-(local word for yobbos) go there. for a more mature night out without all the hassle go to destiny's/heroes in Cattedown. or if studenty nightss out are more your cup of tea, mutley plain is the place for you,althouh it is full of bars, not clubs
• although its sad to say jfks...iv been going there since i was ** and now 4 yrs on and 19 yrs of age im stil a regular attender only as plymouth lacks a decent club for all us punk fans!!! i must say tho they r doing alot to change their image...its now c103 and they ask everyone on the dorr for id....altho most ppl nowadays hav fake ones so the younger looking ones stil get in!!! its also a bargain at £7 all inclusive for women only!!!!! BARGAIN!!! destinys is also real wicked on a monday and thursday as its so cheap!! Jelly jazz has now moved to the DEEP bar...so classy and a wicked nite...theres a noodle bar inside th club and its not that expensive...its really modern and clean...which is always good!!! Quay club on a thursday is good but needs to have air conditioning as it gets too hot. millenium-just dont go there unless u like the smell of fish,cheese and alcohol merged togeva and ur feet either sticking to the floor or dodging glass on the dancefloor.ur also guaranteed to hav at least one drink to be spilt on you and end up in the middle of a fight. Final place gud enuf to mention is busstop...bit skanky but wicked drum and bass nites legends also is gud...last friday of each month at dance academy...but be warned its full of pill poppers.....
• The clubs in plymouth are great! There are usually two or three murders a year in and around them. The police use videos of the brutal street fighting on Union Street as training videos. However more recently the Warner Village (Destiny and Heroes) are safe and pleasant places to go which attract a fairly friendly crowd. Also the nighttime scene on the barbican is getting much better.
• Dance Academy!
• THE DANCE ACADEMY! U CANNOT BEAT IT! BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE IN THERE, FANTASTIC VENUE,AMAZING PEOPLE, AND THE CHOOOONS!
• Destinys = yes. Quay club = no.
• the cooperidge club on barbican
• Don't do clubs. I've heard Union Street is pretty good! But, I've never been there.
• JFK's (Just For Kids) I also went to SPACE the other day which woz good (haha the blokes had to pay!) and also Candystore and Millenium ( all on Union Street 4 anyone who dont know)
• JFK's is the easiest to get into.
• JFKS DESTINYS E.T.C
• Plymouthian clubs are NOT full of beautiful women...most are either 40-year-old scary looking slappers or young tarts on the lookout for sailors!
• Destiny Nightclub on the Barbican leisure park is fuckin tops, class dj's , class chics & lads and best of all NO TROUBLE!!! If your coming to plymouth it is the place to go. STAY STRONG!!
• destiny, millenium and candy store are good, They play all types of music. I advise a trip to union street...some of the best clubs around are down there.
• Is the Ritzy still going? I remember having the time of my life there when it first opened during the school nights (no alcohol and specifically under 16s)
• JFK's
• Anyone remember the Ritzy nightclub. REMARKABLY young patrons wasn't the words to describe it. BARELY LEGAL should do though.
• The Cove on the Barbican has some cool club nights during the week and its got a WICKED beer garden
• What the hell did they do to Oz?? It was one of my favourite ever clubs. Millenium is a load of poo by comparison.
• Ritzy (in whatever incarnation it is now) is always good for cheap booze, and the same playlist year in year out.
• jfk's - dodgy and Just-For-Kids
• JFK's (also known as Just For Kids)
• Millennium is the place, its the biggest club ive ever been to and the djs are top quality, and the nicest women britain has ever seen. But if ur into punk shit u wanna go to Jfks and if ur a sad bloke who thinks hes hard just go to the Venue and act like ten men all night.
• Destinys, a fuckin class club to go to..and it aint full of drugpushers either..unlike some clubs..no names mentioned(MILLENNIUM COMPLEX)!!!!
• JFK or tramps.....only punky places!
• harbour lights, fore street torpoint, across the river
• Quay Club - great atmosphere, good music, give it a go!
• The Acadamy, newley refurbished and kicking. Hard house and loads of friendly people :)
