I can't be bothered to ramble on about these two excellent clubs in Cardiff
so I will list their great points.

Clwb Ifor Bach (or Welsh Club as it was known)
My first trip there, I walked into the top floor and they were playing Led Zeppelin, and had Roger Ramjet projected on the walls. My kind of place. Beer was £1 a bottle.

Club Metropolitan (Metros)
You know the sort of place, underground, sweat dripping from the ceiling. The best kind of rock/metal club.
Stella was £1.50 a pint, vodka and redbull came by the jug, the question being "How many straws do you want?"
They used to show Transformers the movie on screens around the place.

My best experience there was that of the Heavy metal Christmas Foam Party. Fantastic fun, particularly with the step to get onto the dance floor.

Unfortunately it was in December, in Wales, and as you all know, taxis don't take kindly to people who have been to foam parties.

The awful, drunken, freezing hour-long walk home was more than made up for by all of us piling into the showers together when we got back (the ratio of sex was very much in the desirable direction)

Ah Metros...
Awesome place. Had some happy times there. Bang on about the sweat too. Ew!

Mmhmm..
..nods in knowing agreement.

Metros was indeed the hangout of choice. Happy days, long past.
