Red hot and rockingwent to Scala for the first time on the said event and left feeling postive. To confess, I excepted a metal and rock themed night with lots of great tracks being spun out and lots of dancing - that, alais, didn't happen. The music at the said event, was not the mainstream metal and rock, but extreme metal - which is a scene I'm not really into. However, on the plus, the club was very nice. A bit of a maze around the various corridors and staircases and you can easily get lost - but it added a sense of quirkyness to it and you could easily go and explore. Drinks wise, felt a bit ripped after paying over £4 for a Rum and Coke (single shot), but after finding their drink promos was more than happy with my under £2 jd and Coke :)but clearly, this night in particular was not a night for great music and dancing - this was focuses on the entertaiment which it excelled upon. From live bands and musical acts to red hot dance groups to keep you entertained all night long. During the break from each act, music was played so you really got two clubbing experiences in one. (there is also another 2 floors of just music if so wish! Overal, left feeling happy with the night. Not what I had expected but I guess it's good - it really broke the mould of convenital clubs. With plenty of different themed club nights they'll be a night for you - whether you're into metal, rock, pop-punk, pop, Rnb, Whatever! Just be prepared for the unexecpted! :d

Good venue and friendly staff but the crowd was too chavvy and the music was quite poor. If you want more appropriate music thats not metal/emo etc and intelligent conversation then i would recommend elsewhere.

oops I meant to rate the Scala as a 5 but got a bit trigger happy previously with only 3 - so here, I meant a 5!

I went to the Scala for Prologue on the 9th Feb and I have to say for a venue I didn't know much about I was suitably impressed. It's pretty big and all the staff were really nice which makes a change from most clubbing experiences. I had a top night and am looking forward to many a night out there in 2008 -Come on the Scala!

Horrible, horrible, horrible! This place is a dump. The clientele are mad and chavvy. I got assaulted by a crazy girl in that club (no provocation at all) the bouncers let her run away, refused to call ambulance or police. Kicked me out of the club bleeding and badly injured. Do not go here. If you do its at your own risk.

I haven't been to the Scala for a few years now but I guess it hasn't changed much. I've had a few (good) nights out on Fridays. The music was quite cheesy on the top floor, some crap 80s, the main room was pop, rock and indie and the last room had some DJ playing house.


I remember it was good fun, as others mentioned in reviews. It was free to get in before 10pm and the drinks were really cheap.
The crowd was quite mixed, gays and heteros and a friendly atmosphere. I would recommend Scala if you're after some commercial music and a cheap, fun night out. If you are into the hardcore clubbing scene, of course this is not the place.

I tend to go Scala on a Friday night specifically because of Popstarz and for me it's a great laugh. Okay I appreciate a lot of people who go out clubbing won't neccessarily be interested in your more mainstream pop, RnB and rock, but if you are stuck for something to do on a Friday night it's a great place to be.


The staff are friendly as well as the people you meet there and if you are gay/lesbian it's a great place to meet guys/girls. If you are a hardcore clubber I wouldn't recommend Scala but if you're up for a laugh, then this is one of the best places to be.
