Club Alterego

Alter Ego is one of the best known, and best attended clubs in the Canal Street area, due to one fact — that it hosts the legendary Poptastic club night twice a week. I have only ever been to Alter Ego for a Poptastic night, so I cannot really comment on how the club operates during the rest of the week, but, on a Tuesday, or Saturday, the place becomes alive with classic tracks and anthems.
The venue is an interesting one, as it is underground, and split between two main dance floor areas. The dance floors are of a good size, and are surrounded by small seating areas for those wishing just to sit, or those in need of a breather after exerting themselves a bit too much! These seating areas also play host to trysts between clubbers, which can be either annoying, or very funny, depending on your level of sobriety.
The toilets in the venue can be a bit awkward to navigate your way around, as they stem off a narrow corridor towards the rear of both dance floors, but this is only a major problem when the queues to use them become to huge they spread out of the toilets themselves, when the corridor can then become blocked.
If you are looking for a good, fun night out, then look no further than Alter Ego. I would definitely recommend coming here with a large group, as opposed to as individuals, as it will be a less intimidating atmosphere.

I hate Poptastic, but I always seem to end up there. Perhaps it’s because it’s got an indie room — unusual in the gay district — although the cheesy pop side is much better. Sticky floors, alcopops, heterophobia and a nasty grey colour scheme. Depressing.

I remember this place when it was still called Mutz Nutz. Poptastic is the main reason to go here, a camp cheesy night for bopping around to. Great atmosphere, never seen anyone in here with a bad attitude. There’s usually a cheap drinks offer on so its not an expensive night out. Not sure if they still do it but they used to serve tequila slush puppies, brrrriliant!

ya its good on a friday but im finding it hard to get in on sat as the door men keep telling mr i need a pass to get in ive surched web but no mention of a pass to get in on sat can any 1 help plz ty

POPTASTIC!
my absolute favourite! held every tuesday and saturday at club alter ego located just on the outskirts of the village, it’s absolutly amazing. not to mention the overly keen door whore kitty lashes, who’s everyones favourite. often found circling the club with a pot full of ice pops to cool us clubbers down!
poptastic has 2 rooms, the first: cheesy pop, playing everything from kylie and britney to aqua and take that. and the second, the indie room, playing anything from peaches to paramore and MSTRKRFT to M.I.A for all the electro lovers out there. the drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is amazing and the music is raving! an absolute top night out, i’d recommend it over and over again to anyone looking for an amazing time! DEFINATLY DEFINATLY CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!
