Milo Bar

Just next to the Wire club in Leeds City Centre is Milo Bar, another completely alternative venue that raises more eyebrows than Bill Oddy. We queue outside briefly before heading into a red room with hanging lamps, a little dingy in context but not tiny. The bar service is un-impressingly slow, and it appears this theme runs through the place, you seem to be waiting for something good to happen and it just doesn’t. There is not enough seating for the 90% student capacity in here and just when you think things cant get more cramped - a small group of boys set up a mixing table out of no-where to throw in tracks which don’t warrant a set of decks. Upstairs is a little more dramatic on the eye but with an “north-east country and western” genre as a theme, there is little help available for me to contain my gagging reflex.

There is no doubt that this bar is popular, I just don’t see why, its not very cheap, its doesn’t sound very nice and its about as friendly as shaking hands with a tigers face - 4/10
