Advantages: Good size, Two different rooms, hosts some cheap nights
Disadvantages: Strict doormen, Pricey on a Saturday, Caters to very mainstream tastes
Liquid Envy is an impressive venue for a town of Crawley's size, and if you're looking for an average Saturday night out, and you're in Crawley, then it will certainly suffice. It's certainly the best option in Crawley, with the two main competitors - 107 and Bar Med - both being much smaller.
The dress code is currently quite strict with the doormen insisting on shoes, a rule which has always irked me, as I always feel a bit of a burke in a jeans/shoe combo - particularly as it's difficult to find a pair of jeans that don't drag on the ground when worn with shoes! The prices are also a bit steep - they vary depending on the night/time of entry, but on a Saturday expect to pay around £7. Drinks prices also vary, and are generally a bit cheaper before midnight, so if you're feeling thirsty 5 minutes to midnight, then get rushing to the bar!
The club is a good size, with two separate floors sporting different genres of music to satisfy mainstream tastes. The smoking area is very small, and often there is quite a queue to get outside, which is irritating if you are a smoker, which many people seem to be after a few beverages!
I wouldn't recommend Liquid as a must-visit club, and it's unlike to help create any memorable nights, but it's not a bad place to round off you're night if you haven't got the funds to venture down to Brighton/London. Make sure you're not too worse for wear on entry, as the doormen to have a tendency to be quite strict!
Summary: Average, Mediocre, In the middle... Not bad, Not good, just "nice"!
