Where: CHALK
Entry: £3 Guestlist
Drinks deals: £1.50 pints, 5 J-Bombs for £5, Single Vodka & Mixer £2, Double Vodka & Mixer £3
Fat Pops is one hell of an alternative party. The night has been running for over 26 years all over the country and has been taking place in Chalk (formerly The Haunt) for at least 8 years. The theme is Indie Bangers (with a splash of Hip Hop and DnB), and it’s a great way to drink cheaply and have a great time.
Plus, Chalk is right near all of the best greasy kebab shops for after your night out. Score.
