WE PLAY: DIRTY SLEAZY GLAM AND GLITTER ROCK // ANGSTY BOY-MUSIC AND SHOUTY GRRL-MUSIC // HI-VOLTAGE ELECTRO AND FUCKED-UP DISCO // '77 PUNK AND ALTERNATIVE ANTHEMS // …AND A FLASH DASH OF POP TRASH
*FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH AT STICKY MIKE'S FROG BAR!*
*WHAT TO EXPECT*
There are also CD giveaways, glam-friendly video and slide projections (and a fabulously seedy neon sign), guest DJs and one-off themed specials, plus a generous assortment of drinks deals…
Our famous ‘JESUS JUICE’ cocktail is back in a new form: a slush puppy! Yes, for just £3.50 a cup, you can have a purply-pink crushed ice drink containing Bacardi, Triple Sec, cranberry and blackcurrant. We also have pints of Strongbow for £2.95, Kronenbourg for £3.20, double-ups on house spirits (a double of Jack Daniels, Tanqueray or Smirnoff plus a splash of mixer for £5.05), and - here’s our favourite - 3 for 2 on shots of Tuaca, Jagermeister or Sambuca, so for £5.70 you get three shots (working out at £1.90 each).
DRESS: UP! We encourage: glitter, eyeliner, corsets, feathers, big hair, big heels, lipstick, fishnets, faux fur, ballgowns, latex, flowers, veils, hats, wigs, costumes, dandyism, androgyny, freakishness, flamboyance, self-expression, style. There is no rigorously-enforced dress code as such, but we strongly believe that if you MAKE AN EFFORT, you'll have a better time (and so will everyone else).
Isn't it nice, sugar and spice...
*THE ESSENTIAL DETAILS IN BRIEF*
See you on the dancefloor... and don't forget: DRESS UP!
Love and poison…
