| - For a place that bears "art" in its name, it isn't very arty. All the way down to its logo, it looks underdesigned and cheap.
I visit this place an average of once a year. When it first opened, I had high hopes for it, based on name alone. I was disappointed in its lackluster furnishing. But I thought, hey, give it some time, let them build a clientelle, rack up some money to spiff the joint up. This place totally has potential.
I revisited a year later and it was still the same, lookin' like the cool kids from high school hanging out in your basement. That was an off night.
Then I went again a few nights ago. Some promoter had a party there. We paid five quid a head to get in. Yeah, the first two times I went, the crowd was more hipster. THIS TIME the crowd could be described in two genres: hip-hop and underaged. Hip-hop isn't bad. It just didn't seem the atmosphere was conducive to that shit.
And the DJ didn't cater to the crowd's whims. Lots of bald spots on the dance floor.
I will say, however that since there was so many kids there, there was a bounty of adorable raunchy, high-energy snatch. If you're into that sort of thing ...
