Boombox is Belfast's latest addition to the gay scene.
Located above the Maverick bar this night club certainly entertains. The club itself is oddly shaped and smaller than most nightclubs in the city.
The club is open on certain nights but plays host to biggest midweek scream "Bitch Please". Hosted by the comedic duo Rusty Hinges & Roxy Tumbledryer this club night provides drink promos £2 a drink and normally a guest appearance by some of the biggest names from Rupaul's Drag Race.
As you may or may not know Rupaul's Drag Race contestants are a pretty big deal and they tease every gay in the land out from their hiding hole. This means the smaller than most club fills up pretty quick so be prepared for lots of spliced drinks / people pushing / standing on you. If you can cope with this then you should feel at home.
Weekends are a different affair most of the time. There is a good crowd but you can still sashay your way up and down the dance floor.
Sadly Boombox lose out on my 5th Star due to poor crowd management. We stood for 5 hours in the club (after being told get down early) to see a guest appearance.
After queueing to get or photo taken in the actual queue. The door steward told us that as we where indeed not VIP we would have to go to the back of the line. His attitude was pretty poor too - although the door staff here are always friendly, this guy must of been on his "moons". I get the club was busy, but perhaps knowing it would be busy, the club could have better planned for their meet & greet. read more
