I think we are just acknowledging that and saying you know what, if you want to do something then do it – there’s nothing wrong with that! Gay men are definitely going through a sexual revolution since PrEP has become available. If you go to your local Slug and Lettuce on a Saturday night you are probably gonna be shagging someone down an alley after. Sex seems pretty front and centre at your parties, what do you think sex’s place in club culture is?Ī lot of people go out to get laid, that’s the case with all parties. You’d have to ask the owner of the Louis Vuitton bag! It’s great to have a party where there is no pretence.Īny particularly juicy happenings in the dark room? We get a lot of high profile people coming but they are happy to be treated the same as everyone else. What’s the best get-up you’ve seen to date?Īll of them! You could never pick one, I’m really into the “early noughties skank” look that we seem to be seeing a lot of at the minute.Įveryone is fab, we don’t have anyone who is more important or notable than the next person. Obviously it was found in the deepest darkest corner of the darkroom where he’d spent most of his evening. At the end of the night he made a huge fuss and got the whole security team searching the venue for it. My favourite moment was when someone lost a very expensive Louis Vuitton handbag. What’s been the most outrageous moment of the last two years? I suppose it’s equal parts hot music, hot people and a hot dance floor – Adonis hot sauce. The night has become so big since you first started it, what’s the secret sauce to Adonis? From the most outrageous moments, to sex in club culture… Here’s a behind the scenes look at the party everyone’s raving about. The Face took some intimate snaps of the bash before catching up with the head honcho Shay Malt for some serious tea spilling. Sound tracked by hypnotising techno and house beats, a bevy of bare-skin bodies romped through the night in a glimmering sheen of sweat. To celebrate its second birthday, Adonis did what Adonis does best: threw an all-mighty knees-up stuffed with tip-top vibes and a touch of mischief. Gaining cult status among the city’s queer scene thanks to its legendary dark room, inclusive atmosphere and notable DJ sets (Daniel Avery, Saoirse, Tama Sumo and Roi Perez Tama have all spun some tunes). A homoerotic mash up, it’s a loud middle finger to the increasing closure of the capital’s gay clubs, one that then proceeds to waggle along to a thumping bassline and a good serving of Hannah Holland.įirst opening its doors just two years ago, the night soon found a permanent home in The Cause, a warehouse in the nook of Tottenham’s industrial badlands. All in all I'll go again because this place is so cheap and has everything I need when I'm working in this part of town.Adonis is London’s most debauched spot a monthly party that promises revellers 18-hours of pure, unadulterated, hedonistic fun. On the other the lady was friendly and couldn't do more to help. On one stay the man doing breakfast was preoccupied and not particularly helpful. Being bundled into the cheap price anyway you really can't say anything wrong beyond they need better coffee. Only once did I have to wait for it to be free. It was clean throughout both of my stays at the hotel but gets very wet. Toning the carpet and feature wallpaper down would also have made the room feel bigger. The decor is nice, and the room contained some really cute touches, but you do wonder if it would have been better to leave some space for movement. I was really pleased to find that, unlike so many budget hotels, there was an iron and ironing board in the room. However, the rooms have been nicely furnished with real thought going into their design. Once at the top (I was on the third floor so it took a while), the hallway doesn't look the most attractive. You have to climb up quite a steep set of stairs, with a very rickety looking bannister, which have the vague smell of cooking oil. Avoid doing it when there's an act on stage as the bat gets very busy. As such if that sort of thing upsets you, you won't enjoy checking in. Central station is one of the iconic gay pubs.
