#4 Nightlife in Dumfries

And good evening my faithful readers!

This week I decided to talk about a particular topic but which is as important as the rest (or more) for a student who comes to live here (student or not) : The nightclubs.

According to me, Dumfries has 2 nightclubs in the center that are easily accessible. I do not have a car here, so I do not know those who are off center, so I will not talk about it. The two I'm talking about are Chancers & Le Venue. They are both quite different, in my opinion, in terms of music and atmosphere.

First of all let's talk about opening hours. The Chancers is open every day from 10pm to 3am while the Venue is only open on Fridays and Saturdays from 8pm to 3am. It is composed of a ground floor with a bar and a floor with a bar also. During the Fresher week I strongly advise you to go down for the UV paint its really a good evening in perspective. The music will remain relatively commercial and electro.

Regarding the Venue, it remains from my impressions, the busiest nightclub of Dumfries. It is composed of 2 floors with the first floor devoted to Techno music and the second floor to music a little more varied. The entrance is usually free when there is no event so it's really a good thing. And when this is not the case, you usually pay £ 5. This is the big difference with our nightclubs in France, we pay the equivalent of 15 £ the entrance (or more sometime) but the opening is from midnight to 6am. We start to drink around 7:30-8 pm which is much later than you (I understand it's around 5pm).

Bring on the night
