Advantages: Big acts, cheap cocktails

Disadvantages: Empty during the week, only busy on weekends

Original 4 in Leicester has since time of suggestion been rebranded as "Superfly" with old management joining forces with the promoters of O4's biggest night "Shivoo".
Not all that much has change along the name; the venue is still 4 storeys with the same dance-based music policy. Nights range from showcasing drum'n'bass, dubstep, trance, techno, electro & house etc with the more commercial cheese and R'n'B music left for the chain venues such as Life and Liquid.

One of the main pulls of O4/Superfly is the big acts they've managed to pull in, such as Mary Ann Hobbs, Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out, Scratch Perverts to name a few.

I think what makes O4/Superfly stand out from your standard nightclub is the cocktails. Although equipped with a cocktail specific bar on the 4th storey it is usually the ground floor which is open and most fully equipped for making cocktails. The drinks list is quite inventive compared to those in commercial chain bars, but most importantly usually all cocktail are £3 each the same price of a normal drink making them much better for value.

The only real complaint I would have about Superfly is its opening times during the week. Advertised as being opening daily from 3pm onwards it really does seem to be hit and miss as to which days (other than Friday & Saturday) the staff bother to open.
Also the website ( http://www.superfly-city.com/ ) shows very little information about the venue and especially when the venue is open and what regular events are on.

Summary: Definetly gives the chain bars & nightclubs a run for their money
