Well I had a good night, but that's probably more to do with the fact I always enjoy myself when I haven't had a night out for a while. Went round town and got to Industry about midnight. First thing I noticed was the plush carpet, and how that isn’t gonna stay very plush for very long!

3 floors was a bit of a con! More like 2 and a half. The first floor kinda curved round with 3 or 4 steps to the second floor.

It was ok, all looked very new – but its not gonna stay looking very new for very long in Accrington. It looked a lot like the old Voodoo Lounge with all the glass tubes with bubbles. Suppose some people might find this classy, but I wasn’t so sure.

Two separate DJ’s playing similar sort of music – one DJ on the second floor the other on the third. Two dance floors, very small but surrounded by wacky mirrors like you’d see in Blackpool to try and make the whole place look bigger. A lot of broken glass on the dance floors – shame they don’t stop people going on with their drinks.

There were cocktails, draught lager and bitter, I thought the drinks were reasonably priced.

The thing that made me laugh the most was the man in the mens toilet offering hand towels and after shave to the punters!! Now I thought this was a couple of lads winding me up (apparently I’m gullible), but I hear this to be true – there is a bloke in the mens toilets who gives you hand towels, check if you need anything and offers you some aftershave before you leave!!

There was nothing like this in the ladies. Gutted haha.

The ladies loos were badly laid out though, 5 loos, 2 sinks and 1 hand dryer and the door to the loos opens up on the sinks so if there is a queue to get in you can’t get to the sinks cos the door blocks them.

The mens – well, me and my friend were certainly given an eye full on our exploration to the third floor. As you walk up the steps the mens loo is right at the top, but the urinals are opposite the door. As men go in and out of the loo you are faced with men doing their business! To make it worse, the door doesn’t always swing shut. So ladies beware when going up to the third floor!

All in all, I had a good night. Thanks to Bisch for the tickets. However, I wont be going back as I have got used to not paying to get in anywhere in Accy. With the Bridge and Attic being open to the early hours there is no point paying to get in somewhere. Entrance is about £4.00.
