| We made our first visit to the Attic last weekend and have mixed feelings about the place. On the positive, it was a very large club with some very novel touches such as a car and tent for those who want to simulate outdoor activities. The staff were nice and friendly and we were shown around by a member of staff who explain all the various rules for the different areas. A few areas could do with updating and the area downstairs seemed largely forgotten and unused.
The dance floor is large and well-designed but it was wasted space the night we were there as nobody was dancing, partly because the music was pretty rubbish and also possibly because although the bar is not that far away, it would in our opinion, be better served by swapping the bar and dogging areas around so as to create social area rather than the current situation where people stood around in what is in effect the corridor.
We enjoyed our evening at the club but as the night wore on there seemed to be more and more single guys arriving presumably after an evening out, looking for a bit of fun, although a few of them looked as if they had either just finished work or rolled out of bed, work needs to be done on enforcing the dress code. We were approached by a couple of single guys who seemed to think it was all a big joke having just popped in from Derby to see what went on in a “swingers club”.
We would certainly not dismiss visiting the club again but it would have to be a special night for us to make the trip down.
