aeinstein199 Â Â 10 #85 Posted December 1, 2008 as for not the original but the best, not a slate on lions lairs world famous afterparty but with djs like john dixon and the atmosphere its the place to be. depends on your view tbh, Â Â the gay scene is very split so its upto you which afterparty you choose. Â Â We went with four of us after Speedqueen because it was free, it wasn't bad up until the sound system malfuctioned! Im not sure what it was but something wasn't right? We gave it another 20 mins and got a cab to xes which was very quiet. Sanctuary was OK till the sound went but not much atmosphere as it is so big with high ceilings and why is the DJ booth nowhere near the dance floor? Â As for a split scene, what does that mean?

How's he going to mix?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jamesogt   11 #89 Posted December 2, 2008 Does anyone knows if the quater still going?  I believe it is open, though not trading as gay specifically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We came around 10, there were maybe 3 or 4 staff from another bar and another 10 around the bar area.  It seems a pity you went to all the effort of getting a guest (who I didn't wait to see as it was so quiet) and then nobody come, especially as it was for a good cause.  Also if it was a fund raiser, out of interest, how much did you raise. As I couldn't see any collection boxes for my change even? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sanctuary   10 #91 Posted December 3, 2008 also the quarter is still trading but not as a gay venue, but gay friendly , it now has many different nights from bassline to electro and is under new management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
