Nightclubs
Although Harrogate is not renowned for its nightlife, the young professional demographic is substantial and there are plenty of venues catering to this crowd. There are also the usual clubs, such as Flares and Po Na Na, found in most major towns and cities around the country.
Carringtons complex comprises a bar, restaurant and nightclub, and is based on Station Parade. The bar is specifically aimed at the young, affluent professionals in the region and presents 70s and 80s chart music from Wednesday nights through to Saturday nights. The club has a capacity of six hundred and is usually very busy.
Wednesday nights is ‘Heaven and Hell’, with chart music, karaoke and free entry; Thursday is ‘Old Skool Party’, also with free entry and drinks offers; Friday nights hosts ‘The Friday Frenzy’; and Saturday nights is ‘Let it Rip!’, entry is £3 but cocktails are two for the price of one.
On non-club nights, the venue is available to hire for private functions. To discuss hiring the venue, call 01423 525 551.
Also on Station Parade is Club XS (formerly Cardinal Sins), another branch of the indie/alternative music venue and nightclub also found in nearby Scarborough. Friday nights at Club XS is indie rock, Saturdays is ‘cheese’ and Sundays is metal, punk, rock and emo tunes. The venue is reasonably small, with a capacity of just over three hundred people.
Time Nightclub is based on Kings Road in the town centre. Formerly the extremely popular ‘Jimmy’s’, there is commercial dance in the club upstairs and a bar downstairs. Ticket prices tend to be quite high, but drinks are cheap. Call 01423 531 896 for more information.
Harrogate is also home to a branch of Ministry of Sound Minibar, a more intimate venue than the superclub from which it takes its name. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, from 9pm until 4am, Minibar is one of the most popular clubs in the region and is based in the heart of the town on Parliament Street. The venue is separated into four themed ‘zones’, with an imposing entrance and intimate bar in the first; a cocktail bar, VIP booth and multidimensional mirrored walls in the second; waiter service, touch-screen table-top ordering and private booths in the third; and a dance arena with a state of the art sound system delivering house and R’n’B.
Thursday night at Minibar is ‘Stereo Sushi’, with house music; Friday is ‘Housexy’; and Saturday is ‘upfront house’ approved by Ministry of Sound London.
