A venue where the reputation certainly preceeds itself. Granted, I have only been once, and I had a good time, but I would not return in a hurry.
Reasons to go: Music, dance floor, you can count the number of clubs in St. Albans on one hand, open late, serves alcohol, good music.
Reasons not to go: men in the venue are vulgar, the floor is sticky, unidentified marks on the wall (which my friend thinks is merely a build up of cleaning products).
If the bars are closing and you want to continue your night but don’t fancy batchwood then go to Adelaide, you will have a good night, but you didn’t hear it from me ;-)
Oh and the DJ takes requests and actually plays them which is a rare and very welcome quality.

A swanky stylish place. Put on a glam dress and party with royalty (literally, Prince William is known to go there)
It is expensive on the door, expect to pay at least £10 and the bar is pricey too, but what you get in return in a gorgeous venue for a gorgeous night.
The DJ is right next to the dance floor and pumps out the best choons. Was the first club I heard play Gimmie More so the DJ is therefore a legend.
A great place for a birthday, especially as if you book a guestlist the Birthday Girl gets in free.

Sophisticated venues are all too rare in St. Albans, so when Mokokos moved in it was quickley snapped up with facebook events for 21st birthday parties.
Cocktails galore and a fancy venue so can get nice and dressed up without the worry of being sat next to a burberry chav.
Cocktails are around £8 each but if you don’t fancy one you can always grab a popular beer.
Don’t fancy alcohol? Their non alcohol cocktails are just as much of a treat. I had the watermellon and pepper. Scrummy!
Not your birthday? Impress that special lady on a first date.
Mokokos do not serve food but it is is surrounded but popular italian restaurants.
A great night out.

A very popular place for many reasons.
The bar prices are reasonable and the food is very cheap without scrimping on standards. A great place to go for afterwork drinks when you are at the last few days before pay day!
An awesome venue to watch sports as they have one giant screen in the middle of the venue and smalller screens around the venue for your viewing pleasure.
Also they regulary have live bands and again they do not cut corners. Always a good night.
If you only go once a year go on Christmas eve where you can be full of Christmas cheer with the friendly locals.
And ladies, they have hair straightners in the toilets. Yes you did hear me correctly.

The Peahen has been a popular venue in St. Albans for many years as it has managed to avoid the rowdy crowd stage and has maintained is reputation as a nice place to go to have a drink.
The bar is long and stretches down one side of the venue, as well as having a spacious beer garden.
A great place to go for a a glass of wine or two with old chums from school. If you are a local you will most likely bump into your school pals here, but you probably knew that already.
The food is great too so a gret place to visit after work or on your lunch break.
The bar is reasonably priced and the door policy is usually over 21s on a Sat night.
Full length mirror in the toilets so you check out your hump. Your hump your hump your hump. Check it out.
