Nowhere 29/11/09
Overall rating: 4.5

Great venue! Spot-on sound system, no waiting at the bar, gents toilets smell great (yep, you read that right), good atmosphere, good unpretentious crowd. Good door policy = no idiots or scumbags.

Only minor problem - c'mon Skiddle, sort out your e-ticket list.

sponge's Review of Rigamatu at Area 51
Overall rating: 3.5

I would recommend the night Rigamatu to everyone, and Area 51 is a good venue, but on the other hand there are alot of rude people that go out that side of town, so be aware that barbie dolls will look up and down, just because you know how to be nice and have a good nite. x

irisis's Review of MINUS with GAISER + HEARTHROB at AREA51
Overall rating: 4.5

Thanks for inviting two brilliand M_nus artists in Manchester- it's been a long time!

Everything was really great but was not entirely happy with a couple of things: The m_nus set didn't start till 2.30am in the morning which is really late if you are not a student and don't feel like getting wrecked.

The opening set downstairs didn't feel like an opening set at all. Not a great warm up!

Cheers

One ridiculous night couldn't of been better. rusko exeeded all expectations and i can say without doubt that the other djs have converted me with the power of bassline. Me and my mates were glued to the front til the end.

see you there next time

Adrock54's Review of AREA51 1st Birthday Saturday 7th March part II at AREA51
Overall rating: 2.5

First off Sneak was a no show, secondly the toilets where a complete piss-take as they where ankle deep in water. Apparently this was the case last Saturday night as well.
I don't expect to pay Ł15 for a night with no head-liner and piss covered trainers!
I liked the venue, however I didn't find it the friendliest crowd I have to say, to much attitude.

All round a bit disappointing!

Mo87's Review of AREA51 1st Birthday Saturday 7th March part II at AREA51
Overall rating: 3.5

DJ Sneak never turned up..poor effort. whatever the reason i feel we should have been told..but im guessing that might effect ticket sales so the promotion team are obviously looking after their own pockets rather than those of the paying clubbers who could of come from far to see DJ Sneak...and were left bitterly dissapointed.

Saying that, I thought Jesse Rose was spot on..and it was still a good night. but the dissapointment of not seeing DJ Sneak overshadows the night.

first time to Area51 and was impressed with the venue. shame about Fake Blood being ill but the offer of a free night in return is more than welcome. managed to miss herve & sinden (in other room) but the tunes from the residents was top notch.
highly recommend any p&p night :o)
