Virus is the rock night which takes place every Thursday at the Cooperage.

The Cooperage is situated near the Quayside, a few doors down on the opposite side to popoular club Sea. It is easy to get to, once you know where it is! The nearest metro station is monument, which means you have to walk downhill quite a way. Not so bad on the way there, but not good if you have to walk all the way back up, especially when drunk!

This venue is slightly odd, split into three separate rooms. The ceilings are quite low, and the place has a kind of cramped feel to it. The main "dancefloor is situated in one room, through a doorway is a more seated area, and the final "room" contains the bar. The toilets may take a bit of finding if you don't know where you're going. However, as this venue is small, you can't really get lost.

The music here will probably suit anyone into Punk/Rock. It is good, but if you go frequently can become a little bit repetitive. The drinks aren't spectacularly cheap, though nor are they ridiculously expensive.

I don't go here very often, but when I do, I always have a good night.

it must be about 15 years since I was last there (at least). I always liked the atmosphere in there.
