Here I continue my series on nightclubs to go to in Belfast, with the Limelight. More of a venue than a nightclub it is known for its underground scene live rock gigs and its more alternative feel. With gay nights and club nights to suit more than one taste, however, it is one of the city’s must see venues for those under 25. Its best and most well-attended night is, at the moment, Tuesday, when they choose to open the doors to all three venues in the one complex to clubbers. Its a unique and yet quite genius set up they have there, in the fact that one venue is the alt-rock club, and one is the hardcore clubbers place, which are both split by a rather homely bar. I say this, but the one thing you will notice is that it is notorious for its student appeal. Not for those who want to meet anyone new with any maturity, give it a miss unless you want a loud club night or an alternative gig

Here I continue my series on nightclubs to go to in Belfast, with Laverys. One of Belfast oldest bars, Laverys is found just down from Shaftesbury Square south of, but around five minutes walk from, the city centre. On its three floors it hosts very different environments, with the public bars on the ground floor accepting all sorts and being an excellent venue for watching sports, and the pool floor having what is probably the most pool tables in any one venue in the city. Most importantly for here, though, are its regular club nights (at least three a week during the Autumn and Winter to coincide with the university academic year). Famous for hosting alternative nights for those more partial to a heavy metal sound on the dancefloor, it also hosts nights dedicated to the music of chosen decades. On a Saturday night, though, there are less students about and the top two floors are open with 3 separate musical sets available, one usually being an alternative live music gig for unsigned bands. This is a good place to meet new people at any time, just choose your club night wisely based on your musical ...

"Timeless" New Year's Eve Fetish Party @ the UndergroundThe Underground Club * 110 North Nevada * Colorado Springs, Colorado * 719 - 578 - 7771 * undergroundbars.com or www.myspace.com/fetishes Another fun-filled fabulous fetish event put on by the Underground and Mistress Satori - with the committment to excellence that we've come to know them for by improving the night, the venue, the entertainment, music, and acts as they have with each and every fetish night since they began. This event's theme was "Timeless" as we celebrated with bidding farewell to 2008 and a welcoming to 2009 with kinky fun and frolic. Live DJ's in both rooms spinning the best of 80's, goth, industrial, EBM, Synth-pop, and Old School by the Anti-DJ, DJ Fiend, DJ Gypsy, and DJ Sky (upstairs apparently didn't work out since it was below freezing for the night instead setting up in the main bar) and downstairs in the boiler room with a sizeable spectacular dance floor we've come to love. Local artists like Gary of Vernal Goddess Studios, vendors, drink specials, live shibari by Pasha, bodypainting by Leaf and Doug of the Tree Leaves' Oracle, and bdsm performances by Mistress Satori, "V", and LHS throughout the night ...
