Digress is a bargain - only a fiver to get in, and great inside. There are two floors to the place - the upstairs is mostly a bar, with relaxed armchairs, a long bar, and music. the basement is a dancefloor, with another bar and some chairs and tables. The basement is decorated in the way I want my bedroom when I was 13 - wrought iron, decorated windows, relaxed atmosphere. The music is cheesey, but good - a mixture of old faves such as Madonna, with more modern chart and house stuff. It's a great dance place, and open to 4am.
The drinks are quite expensive, but not by central London club standards. A double plus mixers is about £4.50. There is a wide range of cocktails sold, and you can easily buy a jug of something, and cart it off to your table or ledge with an armful of glasses for your mates. Digress can be a bit of a meat market, it must be said, but not in an aggressive or unpleasant way. This is a great place to pull, but if that's not what you're after, it's still a great evening venue. The nearest tube is Oxford Circus.
