A late licence, DJ decks, PA, stage for live bands, two bars and friendly bar staff selling bottled drinks and beers on tap plus an extensive wine list makes Bardens Boudoir one of our favourite going out spots. Along one side of the room are separate booths, each one decorated by a local artist but all retaining a down-to-earth, slightly grubby charm. Depending on the night, you'll find club promoters Club Motherfu*ker putting on a variety of live bands, The Gypsy Hotel Club or Tripping In The Country who might - if you're lucky - be heading up an excellent night with special guest DJ Andrew Weatherall. Once a month is Cringe, a night when 20 and 30-somethings read from their toe-curling teenage diaries. Expect Adrian Mole types airing their angst.
