Motherwell Point

I never really thought the day would come when I would review the Motherwell Point. Mainly because, before it was refurbished and reopened last year, it was a complete dive, and known as a bit of a granny disco (sorry to any grannys out there, but it’s true!)
It reopened under the new, rather rubbish name of ‘Skoosh’ and has all of a sudden became the place to be in Motherwell, shunning the Megabar up the road. This place looks a lot like someone’s living room at a house party, with stripy wallpaper and chrome wall art, with a teeny dance floor which is always dangerously packed out.
The drinks are averagely priced, with no promotional deals that I have heard of, which kind of takes the shine off of it, although that may change for special occasions or events. Even though it is small, it has plenty of seating and you always manage to get a table if you’re there early enough.
The clientele are older; it is an over 21’s club afterall, which makes it all the better in my book. I’d rather party with a 35 year old than a sleazy young 17 year old! You never see underagers in here, which is refreshing. The bar is well staffed and there are always loads of security, which is really reassuring.
I actually quite like the place despite myself, and it’s somewhere where I would consider going more often, if I’m too skint for town!

used to love going here on a saturday night with friends, most nights it was like meeting all your pals with a few new faces thrown in, was always busy on saturday nights but seemed to be a good bit quiter on fridays, good music and the bands were always well received, getting a drink at the bar took you forever and a day and i think a lot of the spirits were watered down, seen a few fights in it, but bouncers always quick to respond and throw them out, dancefloor a bit on the small side and got really busy, toilets were always clean and maintained, dont think ive ever had a totally bad nightin it, and ive had a few really good ones
