CLUB OF THE WEEK; THE LOUNGE @ the saint

This Wednesday night freebie is the brainchild of those terribly clever boys from SugarCandy. With The Saint holding a miserly 300 you can guess that this event is on a different level to their own extravaganzas but no less enjoyable. Boasting a restaurant and furnished in soft woods and bright neons, the Saint is as good looking as its clientele, which always includes a healthy smattering of well-known actors, musicians and socialites.

The Saint is essentially a bar that likes to let its hair down at the end of an evening. The tables are removed and, hey presto, the dancefloor's packed.

The music on this night is vastly superior to the hit and miss dancefloor- fillers that get spun at weekends but the dress code remains as strict as ever. Dressing smartly vastly improves your chances of entry. Perfect for a little mid-week sparkle.
