Catch Club (Shoreditch - London)

Catch Club

The Infamous Catch club sits very quiet and dormant in little old shoreditch down the road from Herbal rather innocently until about 9pm in the evening when it is bought to life by budding DJs big crowds and free entry in what can only be classified as London's armpit. There is a short queue outside with big burly bouncers but the free entry surprises everyone. As such is pretty jammed both upstairs and down but I felt more comfortable downstairs. The weight of the well lit and stocked bar to the right as you wade in adds to an otherwise small and hot atmosphere. its very friendly and the music ranges massively, I happened upon "eat some chips" this particular evening and it polished off the atmosphere rather nicely. I felt the place was altogether too small and expensive however.

Overall the place certainly has character and although it looks like a steamy dungeon in the daytime it bolsters a proud crowd of night but still fails to impress me as the gem I'm after on the bar scene- on reflection, but admidley free entry to what feels like a small club is commendable: 6/10.
