This venue is a ten-minute stroll from my front door, but its kerb appeal isn't that great. Coupled…read morewith the fact that it makes an appearance in Mark Billingham's crime novel 'In The Dark' as a location for gang members to do their dodgy dealings, I've never been that tempted to pay it a visit. But last night the prospect of DODGY (yes - DODGY!) playing there couldn't keep me away. It's actually a really cool music venue, with a big bar area at the front, which opens out at the back into a performance area with a stage and plenty of room for lots of people to get a good view. The acoustics were great too. But - and perhaps this is me just showing my age here - the headline band not coming on until 12.15am was a tad too late in my (square) opinion, especially when the clocks went forward an hour, which meant they didn't finish until about 2.30am! But a decent enough spot, and I'd definitely be interested in going to some more gigs there in the future.

This is a big venue/pub with lots of big comfy sofas, and live music at the back. The stage is big,…read morethe sound good, and the drinks reasonable. Run by members of Alabama 3, a well know Brixton based band, as well as the Brixton Jamm. It has a nice atmosphere, and Alabama 3 often DJ and play here! The only problem I had was the prices. You had to have ticket to get in, and there where around eight pounds. If you've got a ticket you're sorted! Its right near the bus stop, and I would definitely venture here again.

The friend I was meeting loves cocktails aaand it was two for £10 4pm to 9pm and £12 for a bottle of wine. Walking in at 17.30 it was dead. The staff were attentive and lovely though who expertly made a espresso martini and poured the two into bone china cups. I had a My Tie which was well flavoured and not one of those all ice stringy places. Parking our butts outside we got to catching up.. the place was booming full of smokers by the time we finished our cocktails but we decided to order a £15 boozy cocktail served in a teapot. Again this was of great value but by then we had worked up an appetite and wanted to leave the fag ash blowing into our faces. Overall a really well priced cosy place..you just have to time it right

This new venue takes over the old Potion space and is infinitely better than the predecessor. There is much more open space, and the "caves" are intact - but the prices are still very low (the happy five hours have made their way here as well, thankfully!). If you've ever been to the other Simmons venues, this will be your cup of tea; if you've not then this is the best of the bunch and you should definitely check it out for a fun night with great drinks choices.

Drinks are good prices and you can take them upstairs to watch the show, they transfer drinks to a plastic cup so glasses aren't broken because you end up giggling so much you're on the floor! And what a laugh we had - the Slap, Tickle and Squeak group is beginning to perform there on a regular basis - 3 Kiwis who put on an hour long show that leaves you in stitches every time. Give the pub a call and ask when they're performing there next - you really oughta! After the show everyone converges in the pub downstairs and has a merry old time!

The price fees for the acts are quite reasonable around £10. I would definitely go along again. Unique

It's perfect for bands to rehearse and play at and a great place to bring everybody together.

The problem with Camden these days is that, like Shoreditch, it's almost become a victim of its own success. Record Club could be just the thing to inject a bit of rock 'n' roll glamour back into Camden. The cocktail list is reasonable, but also succinct - a good thing in my opinion, as I hate waiting a long time at the bar. If you've been to this venue when it was Camden Rock or Bar Monster, prepare to be surprised at the dramatic transformation! The decor is flawless and really on-trend. The interior seems to be a really good size, too - comprising a cosy outdoor smoking area, an upstairs bar with comfy couches and a bookshelf, a covered outdoor seating area with a screen, and the main bar area which has got a lot of standing room and a stage for live music. Keep an eye on Record Club, it's well worth a visit for the art work alone.

Members clubs are not usually my scene; on the occasions I have previously visited members clubs (Soho House, Shoreditch House and so forth), I found the atmosphere inside to be too stuffy and elitist for my liking. Nevertheless, I was keen to see what this new club had to offer. I had a wonderful experience from the get go. The young Australian door girl who greeted us upon arrival was visually stunning, incredibly friendly and informative, even telling me where I could order the heels she was wearing! The bartenders on both the upper and lower decks made a range of really tasty cocktails, (the Mai Tai and their Margarita are highly recommended). The wine list was comprehensive, yet succinct. The wait staff I came in contact with had positive and friendly attitudes, which contributed to the club's welcoming atmosphere. Design wise, the marquee and smoking area is a stand out feature, where my group spent most of the night. The Record Club is an un expected treasure in the heart of Camden I am keen to revisit.

As I stepped out of the tube station late at night in Acton Town, my first thought was 'What am I…read moredoing here?' I was entering an Australian/Polish suburbia of what initially looked drastically lacking in nightlife, character and atmosphere. I eventually made it to the high street and things looked a little livelier. My destination was the Chatsworth bar. Outside was littered with young gents dressed in t-shirt, jeans, and they were all smoking like troopers. On entering the establishment, I noted that the bar was dominated with Aussie's. This didn't bother me in the slightest as our friends from down under tend to know how to party. The atmosphere was jovial and the DJ was spinning some classics house hits that soon had the small dance floor bouncing. A mixture of well-dressed ladies to those that were casually adorned, danced flirtatiously with guys who for the most part didn't dress to impress. The real bonus in the Chatsworth is the cheap drink. A good Havana Especial rum and coke came to £3, whilst a 25ml shot of tequila was only £2.50. Bargain! The décor is simple and clean whilst the well stocked bar is served by very efficient bar staff. If you want to find a quiet spot for a smooch, behind the bar is a large conservatoire with long tables, and darkened surroundings. Here because of a friends leaving party on the Friday, I was told on good authority that the place was rammed to the rafters on a Saturday and a much better night. Saturday nights must be indeed special as the Friday atmosphere was impressive. Although I wouldn't take the long journey from Camden just to drink in the Chatsworth, if I was a local, it would definitely be on my list of regular drinking holes.
