Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars in St Ives, Cornwall*

Where to go to get down

You can tell us more about St Ives.

• (2008) - Isobar , still the only "club" in st ives, people say a club but when compared to the likes of corn exchange its not. But The music is a lot better now playing more up to date music and generally 'cooler' music. very cheap drinks with a huge range, can be a bit pricey to get into though. Bouncers are friendly as well as staff :0P does get completly rammed in summer and then you find the locals flee. upstairs is the club and downstairs is the bar. flamingos been shut years aswell as all the others. the only other place which is a 'club' now is sazbah. its a morrocon bar with bright colours and a lovely exotic feel, its getting more packed now all the people who are banned from isobar go there. the toilots are on the 3rd floor meaning the annoying drunks are gone for a while trying to navigate the restaurant to get there, and as the gents is pink youll occasionally hear screams when men enter the ladies as its blue and the locals cant read.
• We have one club - The Isobar
• Isobar
• The Hub on the harbour front is a pimp bar where the rich and famous hang out. Next to onshore. Plays funky house with the live house dj's on fri and sat nights. nice but expensive. Does almost every drink you can think of, with coctails as well.
• The Isobar died Spring 2004 after the refurb. Wack. It's not a club, it's a deli counter. Security is akin to Camp X-Ray, and if it's not overrun/full to discomfort levels, then there's prolly more bouncers than punters. Bar staff are cool folks, but just go on a summer night, take your 'food counter'-style ticket to WAIT IN LINE for the dancefloor (no joke), and try and tell somebody you had a good time afterwards. It's not likely. Go to Bosun's (Penzance) on a live music night.
• everyone has been to 02, formally known as the LEL and I reluctantly went one Friday in May 04' and it was a brilliant night out I must say, they had live PA's and they were giving away loadsa free CD's and T-shirts. It was sadly not a regular thing but I was really please to hear yesterday while at college the nights back this friday 17th September 04' and there is going to be even more free give-a-ways and more 'live' music. This really is a must its called URBAN EXPLOSION and its in association witb TRIZZACKZ mix CD's. I'm definately going and this is a brilliant night out guaranteed....not everything the LEL does is all bad my opnion has definately been changed it was packed out!
• Pegotty's has closed down. The building is now sheltered accommodation
• Isobar is the only club i think, it was £5 entry last summer an gets full bein the only club in the town, but its a cool club an gud nite out...lotsa fit fellas
• Isobar is the main place to go in St Ives since Mr Peggotty's has been closed for about three years now. If the queue is too big and you fancy an alternative to dance music, try Harlequins after the pubs close. The Flamingo (formerly The Shire Horse) is closed at present but watch this space...
• The Flamingo seems to be the only place. I've been there twice. First time total of 14 people, me and my four friends, two gay soldiers, a transvestite who pole danced all night and a gang of the most ugly men I've ever seen. Second time there were about 20, and I actually fell asleep in the corner. Watch out for the bouncers/male staff, they like to pick you up, especially Weird Simon, who is a staring freak!
• The elbow room has had a complete change and is now called the ISOBAR, and the shirehorse has changed aswell and is now called the FLAMINGO
• The elbow room is one of the hotest places in town to go along with Peggs or Mr Peggottys to people who are not aquainted with St.Ives.
