Raided regular? Not once in my 5 or so years I've had there.

 

As for the sort of people it attracts, 1st I'd say it attracts people from lots of different backgrounds but in response to the wannabe gangsters & chavs that might be looking for trouble.

 

It's all about making people feel safe and I honestly think that happens now, the world we live in has changed lots over the last 5 years and so has Niche in an effort to address this.

 

It may have had some incidents in the past but the important thing is they constantly worked to put it right without taking the easy option of changing music policy.

 

In the last year or 2 we have seen improved lighting, a new security friendly entrance, improved searches including metal detectors, new hours, a change in dress policy and increased security presence.

 

This is why Niche survives because they address issues and work closely with local authorities in making it a well managed venue.

I have been to Niche about 10 times and the music is ace, the only thing that I dont like is the trouble.

 

Last time we went we got searched three times going in, then just has we were going in the alarm bell went off with a red light flashing, then all the staff at the front door went running in and someone was took out with blood everywhere. And the staff wear bullet prof jackets.

 

Can honestly say that I didnt go in after that.

Theyve been wearing bullet proof vests for years, and they started searching people years ago aswell (although it doesnt always work!)

Havent been myself, but a mate of mine went on his own and got bottled and then mugged in the toilets.

 

The police said after that it wasnt an uncommon occurence, especially if you were seen as an easy picking (which in his pie eyed state he was)

 

At one time there also seemed to be a disproportionately large amount of drive by shootings going on there as well.

 

On the flip side, the music is supposed to be excellent. But I am not sure how much it would be enjoyed if you spent all night staring at our shoes!

Fair points about the muggings and whatever

 

but surely if it was really as bad as people make it out to be it would have been closed down ages ago, which it aint so it cant be that bad
