Tough call, but went 4 stars as we went out to enjoy ourselves and we did. A group of friends attended the 80s themed Tropicana Nights, well disco, for want of a better word. They had a simple set up, two bars, large capacity toilets and everyone who went just went to dance and enjoy themselves. There were plenty of attendees, but in pre-pandemic times there were probably more and it quitened down once the real clubs opened I think. It also snowed that night. However, fun was had and we danced until our feet ached.
