Clubs: AT THE CLUB FACE
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

@ brown's
Inspired by a visit to a Stockholm nightclub, promoters Nick House and Tommy Mack (who recently brought you "Common People" at Emporium) celebrate everything blonde in their new weekly gig.
Deep garage and uplifting anthems feature in this stylish night of revelry at the venue that supplies the Sunday tabloids with countless shots of celebrities misbehaving. The social vibe will be live as Brown's is turned into a shrine of worship.
Lauded and maligned in equal measure, every fair-haired Adonis will be treated like the gods that they are for the night. Alternatively, dye your hair and gain free entry before midnight.
All super fly, super-glam patrons are welcome, irrespective of hair colour, (although blonde wigs and on-the-spot dye jobs will be available), so place your tongue firmly in your cheek and join in the fun.
Wednesdays, 4 Great Queen Street, WC2 Covent Garden (0171-831 0802) 10.30pm- 3am pounds 10/blondes free before midnight
DIRTY
@ legends
If you haven't been to this venue in a couple of years, then you're missing out. Their recent refurbishment has brought in a fresher bar/club vibe. Dirty lives up to its name by providing a healthy dose of debauchery for its stylish and decadent clientele.
Vocal-led house, garage and club anthems take centre stage, with resident Wayne O'Connell and guests never allowing the upbeat tempo to drift away.
Style it out upstairs in the bar area or go into the basement for some dancing action.
Saturdays, 29 Old Burlington Street W1 (0171-437 9933) 10pm till very late pounds 15

@ the end
Can you remember the last time you went to a club for the first time and just said, "Wow!"? If you haven't visited The End yet, then you're in a for welcome treat.
It's the freshest looking venue in the capital with a reputation for breaking new sounds, as opposed to churning out formulaic handbag like too many other venues. This Friday's gig offers a feast of drum 'n' bass for all hardcore bass headz. With DJs like Hype, Andy C, Randall and Freedom taking control on the Technics, you know what kind of bumpin' tunes to expect.
Friday, 16a West Central St, WC1 (0171-419 9199) 11pm-5am pounds 10/pounds 12
ATOMIC MODEL
@ leopard lounge
This gig has taken a long while to settle into its new surroundings since its acrimonious move from Mayfair's Iceni. Things seem to be chill now.
The new venue is quite strange. One of those places that has great potential but doesn't quite pitch at the right level. The clientele reflects this and you'll see a mixture of hard-core clubbers and a few Sloane Rangers who stumble in after the pubs shut.
Atomic Model was once the place to be on Friday night; you could do a lot worse. The sound here is good and the music policy not too taxing - handbag house and uplifting anthems.
Fridays, The Broadway, Fulham Road SW6 (0171-378 6528) 9.30pm-3am pounds 12
