Cloud 9

Cloud 9 is a really great night out. It exceeded my initial expectations as the website makes it look a very pretentious, which it is but only very slightly.
You walk in the door and you really do feel like your in a ‘happening night spot’. The décor is all glossy white vinyl and slick cerise. Its vibrant and lively atmosphere make it feel like a trendy West End bar but with prices are no higher than any other bar in the area. We went on a Friday night and they have a DJ playing (I don’t know if that’s an every night thing?) hits of the 70’s and 80’s mixed in with more modern tunes. People were dancing, spontaneously even, and it was just a really great vibe
They have an extensive cocktail menu and they make them well. I stuck to the Raspberry Bellini’s (champagne with a shot of Absolut currant toped with 2 raspberries) which were lovely.
I didn’t have any food but I did see a basic snack and burger menu.
I would like to mention though that the bouncers were rude at the end of the night. I wanted to go back in and get my friend and I was made to wait outside in the freezing fog and jump up and down to get their attention instead!
