This one comes with a disclosure – it is an alternative club with plenty of the cities ‘darker’ clientele. However, that being said, it really isn’t as ‘out there’ as that disclosure makes it sound.
There are two levels, with the upper level (Mordor) catering to live gigs and heavier music. It is a vibey venue with a definite rock/metal/goth feel where everyone is welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed. Come with an open mind and a desire to have a fun time.
Gandalfs is known for offering very cheap drinks during its various specials and happy hours - check them out here
The more important disclosure however probably should be that the club is frequented by many high school teenagers who are going through their emo stage.
- This is a late night haunt with most people arriving after 10pm
Lower main road, Observatory. It’s a bit further away from the main ‘hub’ of Obs night life, past the Cool Runnings. There is a big pumpkin outside the door.
