Lola Lo

Le lundi soir à loulalou c’est la typique soirée étudiante Cambridgienne!
Des anglais partout, de la musique un peu décalé (oui j’aime les anglais mais faut avouer que passer ABC en boîte, moi j’adore mais c’est peu commun)
Une boîte à trois étages le premier pop le deuxième électro le troisième un coin fumeur très joliment aménagé (un peu sauvage)
L’alcool n’est pas cher
L’entrée est à 5 pounds le vestiaire à deux mais ça en vaut vraiment la peine

George W. Bush used to talk about the ‘tyranny of low expectations’ Lola Lo has, ostensibly, been luxuriating under criminally low standards from its guests for some time. If I told you that a man in the restroom charged me for a piece of toilet tissue perhaps you’ll get something of the flavour of this establishment.
I have been to this nightclub on two different occasions, and on the latter I was assaulted by a vile woman for the crime of telling her that I wasn’t interested. Needless to say the intoxicated woman was left in the club while me and my cohorts were needlessly escorted out by a group of bouncers with a collective I. Q of 80.
Don’t come here if you do not wish to be surrounded by manginas, feminists, Green voters and the working class. There are much more classier venues in Cambridge.

Cheese-​a-​liciously Cheesy!
I love Cambridge… but clubbing is one thing that this city doesn’t do so well. I headed here on a hen night but didn’t have very high expectations.
I liked:
We were given a couple of bottles of prosecco when we turned up — yay!
The music was cheesy but fun, and kept us dancing for hooours
We had a table, so had space to dance off the main dance floor, which made the night more fun as the club became more meat-​market-​y
Not so keen:
We had booked and were meant to get in for free… but had to argue this at the door
I had one of the worst cocktails of my life here! It cost £8, but was undrinkable! I tried to get other people to drink it for me… but it was so bad that I had to give up and leave it on the bar. Urgh. Don’t order a peach fizz (at least I think that is what it was called!)

Absolutely rude security guards. Security guards are meant to protect the public, not have power trips. Overpriced admission (9 pounds) for what it is – basically, it’s trying to be some newfangled upmarket concept but it just has plain fake wannabe-​polynesian décor and not-​so-​interesting drinks.
Also really horrible layout and logistics – so you don’t get a stamp or anything to show you’ve paid after you get in, so you’re basically stuck in the club and you can’t go out to greet friends who might be waiting in line. In addition, there’s no space to talk on the phone when you do want to connect with your friends who are waiting to get in – the security guards just shoo you out of the landing, even though that’s the only place there is in the club to hear the phone. Also, coat check is OUTSIDE the security check where you get in and hand in your proof of admission purchase, meaning that you can’t grab anything from your bags once you leave them there. (Each item checked is 2 pounds.)
I might be able to deal with the overpriced admission for a kitschy establishment, the plain drinks, and maybe the really idiotic layout/​logistics, but it’s seriously the rudeness of the security guards that got to me. You can tell that a good amount of them have power trips. I can only assume what that says about their lives.

Inspired by Tiki culture, Lola Lo is a hotspot for many people in Cambridge looking for a night out with a change in décor. When you walk in to Lola Lo’s you are instantly taken away to a tropical island with the hand carved wooden elements, Tiki booths and the wide range of cocktails served in Tiki mugs. Lola Lo is located close to the Cambridge Corn Exchange and offers regular events, almost every night of the week. Entry is usually between £3 and £5 and the drinks depend on which night you go to. It easy to imagine you are somewhere tropical, especially when you go to the roof terrace where there is often heated lighting and rain! It’s one of the top venues in Cambridge for a night out and the vibe is always great but it will leave you pining to find somewhere around the Caribbean to run off to. In the summer months, I highly recommend the strawberry daiquiri, YUM!

This club is as good as, if not better than Fez.
I went here on a Thursday night for «Let’s Kill Disco» meant to bring back disco. I’m not really sure about that… They played really good club music with Top 40’s techno remixed. Is that disco?
Anyway, This club is great! It is packed, but isn’t that how you want the club to be? The decorations are Tiki styled and there are cool lighted decorations everywhere you look.
They have three stories. The first story is cool, but the second story’s dance floor had 1 ft. x 1 ft. squares that changes color as you dance! The third story is for air. Drinks were fairly priced. Music was great. Would highly recommend.
