The legendary Flamingo club has undergone many refits over the years (gay since 1980) but the latest project was the most ambitious ever. It has transformed the club into the largest 7-day-a-week venue in Europe and is now regarded as a major touring venue for larger-than-life PA's and Groups. Flamingo's has also now relocated to its new home. After a multi million pound refix, the excellent venue has numerous bars, huge dancefloor and a state of the art light and sound system. The music is excellent and the club is packed at weekends with a young attractive crowd.

Open Monday, Wednesday -Thursday, Sun 11:30pm-5am; Friday 11pm-5am; Saturday 11pm - 6am; also open Tue.
