feeling listless

Club The Camel Club is the kind of place which disappears during the day and you could miss even at night. Its street presence is a doorway, between ‘The Revolution’ and ‘The Krazy House’ on Wood Street manned by some bouncers. Even going up the steps you’ve little idea what to expect – you leave your coat, pay your £3.50 entrance fee – and turn a corner to find yourself in a Mediterranean bar.

You'll fall in love here. Despite everything there isn’t a dress code (although everyone is smart), and nothing gets in the way of the music. Unlike some venues, you don’t feel scared to be there … although I love ‘The Krazy House’ I always feel like I should be watching my back. Not here. Everyone is friendly and their isn’t fighting at the bar. But like the Krazy, the people are part of the ambience – those who seem to appear only at night to go to these kinds of places – where do they go during the day? The music is Dj’d but in a good way, all funk and R+B – famous samples appearing in the tracks they were originally taken from, songs before they started featuring someone else.

In Brief: Bud Meter £2.80 a bottle. No dress code. £3.50 entrance. Funk, R+B. Part of 'The Revolution' chain.
