This is one of my favourite places in Hemel for a good night out. Very popular in summer because people meet outside the pub along a canal and it gets incredibly busy . Great meeting place.!
Dress Code: Optional.

Leisure world (also known as WallyWorld and Jarman Park) houses a few clubs and bars. Hot shots is a normal bar near to the bowling alley and pool tables. Then there's Jumpin Jaks which is a lively bar, costs about 3 quid to get in, plays a variety of music, 80s 90s and currrent- rock and pop. Usually a good atmosphere, sometimes drink offers, good place to go if you aren't into dance music.
Visage and Ethos are the clubs, Visage aimed at 18-25s and Ethos 25+. You can walk between the two but there's often security staff checking your age to go into Ethos. Both play the usual cheesy music, comercial dance, R & B, etc Ethos also plays 80s and 90s stuff (as its aimed towards 25+). Both cost about 5 quid to get in and drinks aren't cheap.
It's not unknown for there to be fights and trouble in the clubs but its usually dealt with efficiently. Expect to be asked for ID on entrance and sometimes searched.
Dress Code: Hot Shots and Jumpin Jaks you can get away with anything. Visage and Ethos often say no jeans and trainers, especially at the weekend.

The best two nightclubs ever to hit Hemel are now sadly no more . The legendary "LIVING ROOM NIGHTCLUB " followed by " LA MIRAGE" were closed down in the nineties. The new modern leisure complex, " JARMANS CENTRE" or "WALLYWORLD" as the locals call it is a nightclub , bowling alley , bars , cinema and swimming pool arena near the motorway junction. The nightclub is spilt into two. "VISAGE" for 18-21 year olds and " ETHOS" for over 25's.
Dress Code: Smart casual wear including collar , no jeans for the two clubs

Ive added The Living Room even though it is no longer a nightclub because it was a place that I and my friends used to go every weekend to meet and drink, dance and have a good time ! The new nightclubs are reviewed in another tip.
Dress Code: Was once smart entrance only

Dress Code: Smart.
