"For students I highly recommend Thursday nights. Drinks are incredibly cheap before 12:30am and the music is decades of pop. You're guaranteed to know the songs and have a great dance! Drinks remain very reasonably priced at other times too. Cloakroom is only £2 which is useful and the toilets are very well-kept for a club. I would say though that there is a consistently long queue for the smoking area throughout the busiest hours of the night, and the area itself is small. Therefore it's difficult to get any fresh air. Regardless, I would still suggest a Thursday night out to any student as you're bound to have loads of fun!"

"Went on a Monday night, club feels very packed and pushy, the dj really was not great (the transitions between songs were completely incoherent and not in sync, each song is basically played till the end, and it was not the best music to dance to…). The queue to the smoking area is very long for a tiny space confined by barriers called a “terrace”. The club was also a lot less dark than other clubs which set a strange mood. Chalk’s strong point was the very cheap drinks (a single was £2,60 , double was £3,60 approx)…"

"Wicked venue. We got engaged after right seeing a while she sleeps concert here. Would love to return."

"Pretty good venue for smaller gigs. Bouncers are polite and helpful, as are the bartenders. If you're teetotal, bring your own nonalcoholic drinks. The ones they sell are very overpriced (£4.50 for a bottle of water, and £7.50 for coke)."

"Great selection of acts - seen Boris, Russian Circles, Blanck Mass, and Snapped Ankles myself - in a decent sized space harbouring a utilitarian design ethic. Staff always pleasant and the sound is good, little embellishments beyond this, but when the music is playing you don't need much else."
