A new Rock and Alternative night every Thursday down at Vidal Lounge. Classic Rock through to current day alternative music, not just metal and hardcore!!! Come and have a pint and rock out! :D Doors open from 8pm until late!

Me and some mates turned up last night, and had a great time. It was very reminiscent of old times at The Surgery in its heyday before "emo" music started making an appearance and driving the masses away... The DJ was a legend, and actually took requests which pleased most of us! Granted they could take a while to appear but that's understandable. And anything he didn't have, he said he'd look into getting for next week so score on that front too; none of this "sorry I don't have it" malarkey.
Sound levels were about perfect too - loud enough to headbang to and have a session on the dance floor, but quiet enough to have a conversation in the corner too.

My only niggle about the place is the lack of beers on tap(Stella and Peroni) but if the place takes off as a rock venue(amongst other musical tastes when those nights run) then I hope this changes. A great night's entertainment, thank you very much and we WILL be back for more.

You dance? Since when?!....xx
Well it's not quite dance, more like wobble about like a headless chicken on some bloody strong drugs.

Sounds good however non of my friends like rock music and i'm not going on my own!!!
Well that's a shame, but I can understand where you're coming from :( Why not try bugging them to go on a non-rock night, then you can guilt them into tagging along with you on the rock night? :bananarock:

my kid went to the first rock night, she said if it was 2003 it would have been an excellent nights music, but not so much now, a little dated.

Polite bump to this thread for the DJ's, Vidal is back after its short break. New management, upstairs bar is open, requests still taken, open 9pm-2am(I think), good times to be had.

Last week was a blast, this week I plan on going to celebrate my 30th so if the music choice is awesome you can blame me for stealing Rich all night for requests :P

As Vidal has closed and rock night has moved to The Tavern, perhaps this thread could be amended by Admin?
