According to an ancient mythical clubbing proverb, ‘Good things come in small packages’. In the heart of Brixton resides a perfect example of the old adage
The Venue
Brixton is not actually vice city. It’s been in all the papers – or at least one of the freebies. Fridge is a pretty good testament to this. Conspicuous, inviting and conveniently close to the station and bus stops, Fridge is a truly great venue. Once you enter, it is just small enough to make for an interesting evening. With two floors, the place is stylish and contemporary in its décor with cool and comfortable tables and chairs and stools nicely propped up by the bar.
Downstairs is where things get a bit more lively. Here the DJ plays sounds that only a deaf person would be able to resist. With more space and a bar tucked away in the corner, this part of the club is specifically designed with the intention of getting bums off seats and feet on the floor. Dimly lit the basement has just enough atmospheric lighting to encourage even the most bashful dancer onto the dancefloor.
The Atmosphere
People go clubbing for many reasons but people come to Fridge for one. That reason is simply to have a good time. This motivation is nothing short of infectious and sustained by people from their early 20’s to mid 30’s. You can expect to meet stylish and sophisticated people who come dressed to impress and invariably succeed.
The staff are also amiable. Prepare to be searched at the door by bouncers keen to ensure clubbers’ safety. Barstaff are polite and accommodating, ready to assist you on your night. With attitudes left at the door and your best dance moves at the ready, you really can let your hair down at Fridge.
The Music
With the best in old-school funk and soul booming from the speakers you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to the 80’s – in a good way. Along with the highly revered classics can be heard all the modern favourites.
DJs prove their worth as they effortlessly weave the old with the new. This is a great place to remind yourself of why you love music so much. Giving the best music lessons of your life various DJs at Fridge show you they really know how to get a crowd going.
The Drink
As a classy venue, Fridge has a duty to offer drinks as classy, and at this they are victorious. Fridge offers no standout concoctions but neither do they disappoint in their selection. As well as all your favourite reds, whites, cocktails and draughts you can find some snazzy spirits. Whether it’s a simple vodka and coke you’re after or a cool Courvoisier, you won’t feel compelled to complain about the costs.
The Last Word
For a hot and fun night out, head down south. With great music, great staff and a great vibe, there is nothing cold about this Fridge.
