“Thursday nights at CafeRoc and Coles is the place to be if you want to kick start your weekend. ‘Essential Thursdays’ at the Strand Road venue has established itself as one of the biggest nights in the city. Resident D.J Double C is on the decks pleasing the crowd with his mix of RnB tunes. Next door in CafeRoc resident D.J Steve Moran can be heard pumping out a combination of chart hits and dance anthems. The doors open early with admission just £4 and all drinks only £1.50. If you consider yourself young and beautiful, and want to be seen with the glitz and glamorous, then get yourself in with the crowd at the biggest club in town.”
