Nightlife
From traditional old ale houses to chic bars and nightclubs, Southampton has a thriving nightlife with no shortage of places to choose from. For a drink in the centre of town, try The Red Lion, 55 High Street, or The Duke of Wellington, 36 Bugle Street; they’re both traditional old ales houses and both have a decent bar menu. The Hobbit, 134 Bevois Valley Road, has a large outdoor seating area and stays open until 0200. For those who want to dance until the small hours, nightclubs abound. The Ikon-Diva nightclub, Leisureworld, West Quay Road (website: www.ikon-diva.co.uk) caters to the city’s young beautiful crowd and is the largest nightclub on the south coast. The Nexus Club, Eastgate Street (website: www.thenexusclub.com) is another trendy place to strut your stuff. The city also has a good live music scene with many of the bars putting on bands at the weekends; the Platform Tavern, Town Quay, in the historic dockland area of the city is a nice place to catch live music. For bigger acts, try the Southampton Guildhall, Civic Centre, Marlands Road (website: www.southampton-guildhall.com).
