BEST NIGHTCLUB: SPECTRUM

In the centre of this infamous live music venue is the tiny, cramped stage. It is low enough to reach out to the band members as they play a gig and it generates a level of intimacy that surpasses many other inner-city venues. The dimly-lit bathrooms, tattooed bar-staff, and smoking balcony are so packed-in that making friends is as inevitable as inhaling nicotine in a smoking section. On gig nights, three bands can cost as little as $10. Once the bands wrap up, the stage is converted into part of a giant dance-floor and patrons move to the beats of regular DJs who play indie favourites and even the occasional ironic John Farnham track. Assuming you can find the entry, Spectrum has everything a good nightclub needs. (Sarah Neill)

Spectrum was fun like 4 years ago. Now the floors are stickier, the heaviest thing they play now is Blink 182 or the SAME ADTR song over and over and over again
If you don’t have piercings or tats or one side of your head shaved the people there treat you like an outcast. I’m over it.
