    A student-only club owned by Lancaster University Student Union. This means you can only get in if…read moreyour a student. Another thing is that the drinks are cheap and your basic student drinks. The music is generally mediocre, and the atmosphere is dead on most nights nowadays, but is booming on certain nights. Friday Fury and certain live gigs, bring the crowds from the uni, and make it a fun, albeit stuffy place. The no-drinks on the dance floor rule is heavily enforced by burly bouncers, and they are very quick to chuck people out. So that part is never fun. Can be up to £4 to get in, unless you come when the doors are open and the place is empty. Bar service is the slowest in Lancaster, and you can spend forever queuing and being pushed around when trying to order a drink on a busy night. So pick your night carefully, and have fun. Because at least you don't have old balding single guys staring at you all night.

    Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring! It takes ages to queue outside of and isn't really that…read moregood when you get in there anyway! The only salvation of this club is that the staff are pretty fantastic, and the service is quick as well! The 3 stars I give is 100% due to the good quality of the service and has NO relevance to the place itself! And it's owned by Lancaster University Student Union? You'd excpect better from the student union of one of the best unis in the UK! Then again maybe I'm bias because I'm UCUM! (that's University of Cumbria, for those who didn't know).

    You cannot be serious man. No it isn't Wimbledon season or a time machine malfunction. I can't…read morebelieve it has taken me so long to find the Viper Rooms. I'm only as perturbed as I am under the illusion that finding a place that was once owned by Johnny Depp means I'm now married to him. Okay, so this particular Viper Rooms wasn't owned by Johnny Depp but it shares the same name. That is close enough for me. Now will it live up to expectations? Well actually yes it does. It's housed in a Grade II listed building and inside they've spared little expense. We're talking four bars surrounded by multiple rooms and a mad mix up of music as well. You'll get anything from disco to Hip Hop. It is beautiful, it really is. A special mention goes out the centre piece chandelier and quite awesome (not to mention comfortable) leather sofas throughout. To get you in the mood and your disco shoes raring the drinks menu will blow you away. It beats some clubs I've been to with a huge selection of cocktails, wines, fizz and beer. This is grade A stuff. It may be a little mainstream for some people's tastes but just go with the flow and enjoy the venue if nothing else.

    It's ok as clubs go but had 3 permanent cocktail and drinks menus on the wall but didn't have any…read moremilk to make several of the cocktails!! Milk for heavens sake- not exactly difficult to come by is it?! Also Jägerbombs and several other drinks similar were advertised but they didn't have any shot glasses..in a club.. It all unfortunately shows a couldn't care less attitude on the part of the management.

    Concrete is located underneath some estate agents in the centre of Carlisle. It's not so much of a…read moreclub and more so of a trendy bar with loud music. The setting of the place is very modern and stylish, with granite bricks, African style ornamental pieces, glass and great lighting. The bar is well stocked to serve and mix a variety of cocktails, all quite tasty and affordable, the shot mixtures are definitely the nicest though. The music can be a bit hit and miss - last time I went they seemed to be stuck on an RnB/mainstream Hiphop loop which doesn't appeal to me at all, nowadays I think it's more varied. Concrete is one of those 'moment' places, it's a place people go if everyone else seems to be going (this was especially relevant when it just opened when I was at uni and all the students went just because 'everyone else will be there') and during these times you can be queuing outside for a long time - longest for me was an hour, and I only waited that long as my housemate at the time was the Student Union president and wanted support, otherwise I would have moved to another bar. Other times, Concrete can be so empty it lacks atmosphere - hit and miss - can be great, can be boring, just make sure you go with a few friends.

    We often end up here on a night out. The door price is quite good and once inside the atmosphere is…read morefab. The club can get quite busy, so seating can be an issue. They often have some big named DJ's so it's worth checking out who's on. The drinks aren't much differently priced to anywhere else in Carlisle. A great night out
