Salisbury Nightlife

This pub has one great feature : a beer garden with a view over to the Cathedral. A very plesent beer garden it is to.

The pub itself is a reasonable place, a bit of a rabbit warren, but with plenty of low beamed rooms in that authentic English pub look. The beer is not the greatest, and food was only average - but who's complaining witha pint a very cold lager in the garden, and a quinessentially english view - it also makes you misty eyed for an England that has look since past into the history books.

In weighs the promotions manager with a righteous duty to say nice things. Here's the thing, Tone, I'm a Licensee and have been since 2000; I had one of the big pubs in Salisbury and several of the outlying pubs and restaurants; pubs and bars in Southampton and Bournemouth. I've been there, seen it, done and am currently wearing the t-shirt... Printed upon it is 'The Chapel is a bad club and the management are too myopic to realise it'. I don't care if people want to spend their hard-earned at bad venues; such is life, but don't try to sell what you don't have, and don't try to sell it to people who don't know better - tourists - who will go home after and tell everyone in their MSN list to avoid Salisbury just because they spent 2 hours in your club (1hr 45 of that trying to get served) before realising they weren't going to get their ten spot back and trying to get out without being ***ted by one of your doormen or one of your punters. Bad club, bad clientele, bad management. (Did they ever get that cat back?)

Dress Code: Must be from T K Maxx.

Thankfully Tony you seem to be a world away from the apemen you employ on the front door.Having witnessed a savage attack on a lone white male who although the worse from wear could've been sent on his way or dealt with by the police.
OUTSIDE the Chapel your employees thought the best way to deal with this man was to give him a thorough kicking and when floored from the flurry of punches kicked him and topped it of with a couple of head stamps and a good hard kick which helped to dislocate his shoulder.
So proffesional and restrained i expect Salisburys so proud of them.........................

Having been directed to the previous defamatory comments about the Chapel Nightclub(One-off posts by disgruntled individuals) I felt it only fair to redress the negative bias.

I am the Entertainments & Promotions Manager at the Chapel and I can assure readers that whatever motivated the previous postings, it has no basis in reality.

The club reaches 1200+ capacity most Saturdays and a look around the weekly club photo Galleries on the website will give an indication of the levels of customer quality and enjoyment.

As for Door Staff training, not only are all SIA registerd but we are an official training center to whom many in the area turn for their security and First Aid training. I cannot imagine what initiated the previous statements but it is most certainly not the experience enjoyed by 2,000+ people each week or they would not keep coming back.

Full entry (For 3 Rooms of music and a light/music system unrivalled in the area) is indeed £10 on a Saturday. It is £8 on Friday, £5 on Thursday (Ladies £3) and £3 on Wednesday.

Offers for groups, Birthdays, Hen/Stag/ over 40`s, NUS/NHS and visitors from outlying areas are available and visiting `tourists` are offered reduced entry prices. These apply before 11.30pm when discounts end.

Prior arrangement to be `on the guest list` is advised by telephone or e-mail.

We take pride in having a high standard of staff and services to compliment the facility and services we offer and are offended by the unsubstantiated accusations that are allowed to be shown on this public site.

In our 10th year of trading and having also acquired the Moloko Bar in Bridge Street, we are a respected member Licensed Trade in Salisbury. The vast majority of Licensed premises in Salisbury work hard to maintain the standards that enable people to enjoy the nightlife as well as the Historic aspects of the City and I can only invite you to investigate the reality for yourselves.

Dress Code: Smart casual. Jeans and Trainer ARE allowed but they must be clean and tidy.
Attitude is also checked, so come with a view for a fun night out and you will have one!

Be very wary of this dive of a nightclub,overpriced,poor service half empty even on a Saturday night and from personal experience extremely violent doormen who seems have'nt ever been on a restraint course.And get away with giving seriously life threatning beatings to very drunk (albeit mouthy)individuals.On what is now common place and police turn a blind eye.If you pay the tenner (London prices) to get in good luck and welcome to chav heaven.

Do not flex your tenner to get into this excuse for a club, you'll regret it. Clientele are irritatingly arrogant considering their fake Burberry wardrobes. Pricey, pointless. Go to the NN Bar on Catherine St - the lesser of two evils - or the basement of Moloko Bar, Fisherton St. Always dress up for a night out in Salisbury - doormen are good as gold (mostly) but strict. First thing to remember if you're clubbing in Salisbury - Bournemouth's only half an hour away!

Dress Code: Strict - even for the rubbish clubs.

The Chicargo Rock is situated in Fisherton Street, and is very entertaining for live tribute bands. There are two bars and a resturant to choose from, and a dance floor with disco everynight. last week was an eighties tribute band who did Eurymics, Madness and Cher. It can be a bit packed on Sayurday and Friday nights, but is a good place to meet people. On certain nights they have promototions on thire drinks, sometimes having free samples. Some of the cocktails have odd names, like furry !"£$%, there are original platanum discs on the walls including signed pictures.
