Holy Moley! it’s gee whizz
Held once a month in The Den, Gee Whizz! is a wonderland of brilliant music, good drinks and a bubbling atmosphere. We caught up with David Edgcumbe, the person behind this night, just before his ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ to explain everything you need to know.
Impact: What’s the idea behind your night?
David: I wanted to [...]
A Life Behind Bars
Students. We all love to go out. We all love to party until the small hours, and have the time of our lives. We all like to talk about it incessantly the next day and laugh over the pictures. We cherish the memories of the times we had, the things we did and the places [...]
High Jinx at High Spirits
High Spirits has fast become one of Nottingham’s best club nights and the quintessential event of the Afterdark brand. It has continued to establish itself as a night of class and debauchery over the past few years and has become Nottingham’s most popular ‘all you can drink’ night. The event provides students with the [...]
Tilt: Blues and Cocktails
When a classic martini is served in a goldfish bowl, either a bar is confident in its ability or just downright stupid. The stem of Tilt’s martini glasses is chopped off and you’re left with a glass that looks like something you would put on a cat’s neck to stop it scratching a wound. When [...]
Golden Fleece: Nottingham’s all-rounder?
This local pub made a pleasant change to my normal Sunday morning. Of all the ways to nurse yourself through a fantastic hangover, their Sunday lunch is not a bad solution. Having won best bar food in Nottingham for the past 2 years I was very satisfied with my massive lamb roast accompanied by Bob [...]

Alcohol and Education
I arrived at Via Fossa bar not quite knowing what to expect from the Bacardi Mojito Masterclass. We started with a platter of random instruments including Bacardi, limes, mint, ice and caster sugar and were told to attempt to make a Mojito. I admit I had no idea what I was doing and started pounding [...]
Meet The Clubs
Over the course of our degrees, we Nottingham students develop such an affinity with our clubs that we come to love (or loathe) them almost as though they were real people. But imagine if they were…
Oceana channels Alex Curran: think GHD straightened hair, bodycon dress from ASOS, and transcendent fake tan. Through her dance moves [...]
Twisted Hearts Club
Someone once told me they didn’t like to go to any night that needed a flyer to promote it – that if it wasn’t good enough by reputation alone, then he wasn’t interested. But to take that attitude means you would risk missing gems like the Twisted Hearts Club. Held every other Monday at Pink, [...]
Scruffy’s Review
Nothing is quite right at Scruffy’s, and the owners wouldn’t have it any other way. Since coming under new ownership the restaurant has changed its décor yet its ambience remains. Its warm colours have been replaced with a modern white veneer, channelling the air of an art gallery rather than a restaurant. The seating is [...]
