Advantages: great music, fantastic DJs, nice atmosphere

Disadvantages: entrance price, drinks prices

For 2001, Tuesday nights at Amnesia mean one thing - GodsKitchen. And GodsKitchen means a bloody good night out!

Amnesia is a large club located on the road leading to San Antonio, just down the road from Privilege. It has a very friendly, and mainly British crowd, who ensure that the dancefloor is always packed and the atmosphere is great.

I went on July the 24th for a night of pan-European hard house from the likes of Fergie, Tiesto, and Mauro Picotto. Entry was a tad steep for my liking - 6500pts (about £25), and that was after a 1000pts flyer discount. However, if you want to see top name DJs like these boys, you're going to have to pay for the Privilege. And if like me, you're a bit fond of your pennies, for God's sake don't buy any drinks, the prices are predictably laughable. I managed to dance for about 4 hours nonstop before realising I would most likely faint if I didn't get a drink down me. I opted for a 33cl bottle of water, hoping it would be cheap, but alas it was 900pts (about £3.50), and the cheeky little barman even had the cheek to ask me for a tip. Believe it or not, I declined his offer. However if you're buying spirit based drinks, a good tip might be wise, as it is likely to get you a bigger measure from that barperson next time.

The music was exceptionally good - Tiesto was highly impressive, he really got the crowd going, and I hope to catch him again sometime. Fergie on the other hand played what was probably one of the best sets I have ever heard, his technical skill, creativity, and superiority over his colleagues was clear for all to see.

Amnesia also offers a second large room, which from my brief visit seemed to play more commercial music, and featured things like a fruit stall and a tattooist. The room was not quiet as lively as the hard house goings on next door, but seemed more chatty and friendly. I suspect this is the place to be if you are after a bit of fun with the oppo
site sex.

All in all, it was a top night out, and I'd recommend Amnesia to anyone who likes a bit of machinegun music, but Tuesday is definately the night to go.

Oh, and one more thing - stay away from those disco biscuits!!
