I've only been to Hmv Picture House for a night out once.  It was the night of my last second year exam and we decided to hit somehwere we'd never been to before.  The entry fee was standard and inside it's seriously impressive.  It's basically just a huge opera house which becomes a night club, and a pretty good one at that. The drinks are pretty well priced, but the queues for the bar are enormous and I remember leaning over the bar for ages trying the get the staff's attention.\nApparantly it isn't that rough on a regular basis, but there were fair few rowdy lads there that night.  We got inadvertently involved in a ruck that was kicking off and I got my nose broken by some skinny little ned and spent a good few hours in A&E the next day.  Things like that can happen at any club and I would certainly go back to Picture House - but warily!
