5th Avenue > Reviews

Advantages: cheap beer, awesome music, great nostalgic atmosphere
Disadvantages: quite dark and dingy, but hey, that's what indie clubs are meant to be like!

...people do not dance in 5th ave, they just hold their bottle and sort of move from side to side (Think liam gallacher).

If your not a student admission tends to be a bit cheaper if you've got a flyer. These are pretty easy to find if you go to the Garrett (across the road) or Overdraught (above the club). The music inside the club is indie/ alternative so for all you people that ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: The fact that the place exists

...when I eventually went to 5th Av to find it played the most turgid, depressing rubbish ever. I felt like slitting my wrists after half an hour.
