Bistrotheque bears more than just a passing resemblance to Andy Warhol's infamous Factory. A cross between a disco and a bistro, Bistrotheque runs over two floors of an old clothing factory. This huge venue is home to everything the discerning lad or lady could desire in a night out: two dining rooms, a bar and a playroom.

The playroom is the place to hang out, meet, greet and be entertained. Films, live bands, dancing and tranny lip-synching will all be on show. Our advice is to expect the unexpected.

In contrast, the bar and restaurants serve good traditional British food - with a twist. Take your pick from the plump menu which features delights such as scallops, black pudding, mash and chilli jam or try a daily special such as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Real ales, draught lagers and classic cocktails are at hand to wash it all down.

Get down there this weekend and then you can say that you got there first.
