The club is alive with the sound of students...
A new school year means new students bulk up the population of the city yet again. The place is buzzing and so is the nightlife. Here are our weekly top picks and clubbing event highlights for a night on the Toon!
MONDAY
You’ve got through the first day of the week, why not reward yourself with a tipple or two and some tunes…
Club Tropicana
A dressed up, cocktail induced party taking you to tropical lands on a Monday night. Think 80s Miami and a lavish party of the underworld. Delve inside the jungle-like façade of Floritas and House of Smith to be teleported to another world of glamour and excess - with a Latin twist. The music: a mix of all things commercial, R&B, electro and a bit of disco dropped in for good measure!
Dr Beat
Dr Beat, come on everybody and move your feet! Monday nights become a dreamworld littered with unicorns and fairy dust at theCUT. Think disco magic, retro fun and 90s floor-fillers! This disco-infused extravaganza combines nu-disco, house, retro, techno and a whole load of dancing!

Waikiki
