The "real deal" night club in Southampton. I wouldn't use the phrase "the best" because it's so so…read moresubjective to just classify it as such. But this is definitely the most impressive. The venue is made up out of quite a few large rooms, dance floors, bar areas, and smoking terraces. The place is simply huge. After a few drinks you'd best be prepared for inevitably losing track of where all of your friends are, because if someone gets lost it's a miracle if they manage to rejoin the group. My experience of this place is pretty clouded to be honest. The drinks were so cheap on the Wednesday night I just totally lost track. I remember falling off of a bar stool. Drinking more. Losing everyone in my group. Drinking more. Doing The Worm (or trying to). Drinking more. And that's when my memory blanks out and I wake up the next morning feeling like death warmed up. What more can you possibly want from a night club?! Cheap drinks, great venue, huge array of rooms, plenty of smoking terraces, the list goes on. Of course, the club is defined by the night. Which is why I won't call it "the best"... but at the very least, it's great.

If you remember Ikon this place is Just Ikon Diva with a face lift!…read more Ikon is now the Ice House and Diva is now New York Disco. Where hotshots used to be is the bar quarter and this is proabably the nicest part. The bar quarter is a few bars seperated by walls but each one has a different vibe, some with large sofas and beds to lay on. The main part of bar quarter is a big bar surrounded by booths which you can hire for a birthday celebration but i have heard they are not cheap. The main Oceana area is much the same just with a few doors moved and a paint job to alter the layout. Unfortunatly it is the same kind of people going there who went when it was Ikon Diva and this can cause a bad atmosphere and the door staff seem obliviously to this. They can also be quite rude. Drinks are expensive with my firend paying £6 for a double vodka red bull! I personally give this place a miss unless it is a friends birthday and they want to go.

Friendly club with entertainment at least once a week. 2 decent pool tables plus one for children…read moreand two or three dart boards. The beer is cheaper than local clubs but I wish that they would sell hot snacks. Bingo is played every Sunday and Saturday evenings always features a group or solo act. Very limited parking outside with space for about four cars. There is sace for one disabled vehicle but this always appears to be taken by people not displaying blue badges.

A strip joint!…read more Yes if you're short on thrills, you may get a few here! They also seem to have the week on a rota, so different night will vary. This is the sort of place where once is enough for me really. As parking is so dire in Bournemouth, but going here demands a taxi home anyway, once is costly enough! If you a really wild party animal you might go more often

Well it does what it says on the tin really, spent a few nights there on student nights out and…read morenever failed to impress (but isn't that the nature of the place)!! Watch out for mid week promotions, plenty of drink offers an free or reduced entry. Located right in the middle of town a little off the usual beaten track, so worth looking it up before you stagger out on your night out and stop lots of people for directions

Oceana is what it is. Its the biggest club in Cardiff complete with lots of different rooms to suit…read moredifferent music tastes. On Saturdays its always packed full and your guaranteed to get someone pinching your bum. It cost about 7 quid to get in so go early when its cheaper. The bar is expensive and the the queues are long. Music is variable. I tend to go for the cheesy disco room even thought its totally packed. I like the chill out type rooms where I can rest my feet if I'm going to be dancing till 5am. Staff are generally rude.

Despite being widely regarded as the king of Cardiff's nightlife, I have gone off Oceana in recent…read moremonths. After the huge anticipation the club built up surrounding its opening and the novelty of a brand new super club in the city, the club has become a bit samey and stale. With a £5-£7 price tag (depending on what night you go) before you even step through the door, you are already down by a drink or two before you start. And with typical Cardiff club prices greeting you at the bar, you are often in for an expensive night. While Oceana can be a great night out that offers many diverse rooms for your clubbing pleasure (including a disco, karaoke and boudoir room), like anything, the novelty can begin to wear off if you attend on a regular basis. But for sheer popularity, Oceana stands tall as one of the most prominent clubs in the city. It regularly fills up on a Friday or Saturday night, with a host of DJ's gracing the stage, and is the club of choice for many on a bank holiday weekend. With Tiger Tiger just a short walk down the street, Oceana has some stiff competition right on its doorstep. But with its regular weekend and student nights consistently bringing in hundreds of customers, it can't be argued that Oceana is still one of the most successful clubs in Cardiff.

The staff heard it was my birthday and decided to bring out a free tray of shots for the whole group, which was equivalent to roughly £40, they also got the whole pub singing happy birthday to me. Great atmosphere and staff. We was also allowed to get food from the chippy and eat it in the pub... how great is that! I will defiantly recommend. They all made my birthday one to remember. Thank you
