Platform 1

Platform 1 had a makeover last year, again; the interior is done well enough, the bar is a good size and the seating areas are nice because they feel separate from the dance floor and the music so you can actually sit down and relax if you need to. The dance floor is also well positioned; it can feel small enough if there are not too many people dancing but can take over the majority of the club on a busy night.
Drinks prices are not too bad, and they do some tasty cocktails but I would not call it a cocktail bar. Platform 1 is the place I would go if the club I wanted to go to was full, some sort of last resort perhaps. The music they play is pretty terrible; there are some ‘classics’ to keep you going but then the fat man scoop kicks in and you want to drink a bottle of toilet duck. They even repeated songs that are well received.
if you didn’t want to hear the song once, you really don;t want to hear it three times.
It is a small club that they fill up, the really frustrating thing is that the better, more comfortable seats tend to be ‘VIP’ or reserved for parties so you can be stuck on the plastic benches which feel like the school canteen, towards the middle of the club in front of the toilets, so not exactly ideal.
Platform 1 is an OK night out, if you are so drunk you think you’re twelve.

Despite the changes made to platform 1, the place remains a pretty unremarkable place to spend a night, this does not stop it drawing a pretty tough crowd on a Saturday.
The one dance floor is not big enough in relation to the rest of the club, and the various seating areas and alcoves, seem awkwardly placed. The only time I would find myself in Platform 1 is if all else fails, but then I remind myself I am in Bristol and I rarely find myself in that position.
