About our new venue..
Upstairs.. Trash Palace
A Crazy old Pub with wood panelling, animal heads and what can best be described as an ‘odd glamour’. Trash Palace will open for happy hour at 5.30 and play host to a range of crazy nights and events all of it owns plus it’s linked to Ghetto Downstairs and allows for the two clubs to team up giving two rooms of entertainment and four loos.
There’s an internet juke box with access to over 2 million songs, free vintage video games. A conservatory that can be booked for birthdays and private bashes (it’s free to book and you get free bubbly and free entry tickets to Ghetto downstairs) plus all the cheap drink deals you’ve come to expect. Check out the Plastic Poetry Plants in the Conservatory (but if you take a poem you have to leave a poem in return).
Head to Trash Palace first to meet your friends and grab free entry tickets or cheaper entry tickets to all of Ghetto’s nights and bask in the plush bizarre surroundings. There are even free tickets from Trash Palace to all our Ghetto nights downstairs, including Friday and Saturday nights ‘Kill Your Pets’ and Wigout. Just ask the barstaff. The rule is, arrive early!
Downstairs.. Ghetto
Ghetto. Opening at 10pm (sometimes earlier) the new Ghetto has the familiar red walls and plush white leather seating you’ll recognise all though it’s all been stepped up a notch.
The seating is plusher and more comfy. There’s new lighting and a state of the art sound system and brand new 80’s inspired loos. On Busy nights it will link with Trash Palace upstairs allowing for two floors of fun and two rooms of different tunes with two completely different vibes.
Loos..
There are 2 loos and a separate disabled loo downstairs and two loos upstairs making for 8 cubicles and 2 urinal walls in total.
A big improvement on the naff 2 for woman and 2 for men smelly old Soho loos. Downstairs they have an 80’s twist and upstairs they’re inspired by Victorian watering holes. Oh did we mention these are brand spanking new and gorgeous? |

Our weekly line up..
Mondays & Tuesdays
