Flares - York
WHERE
York
What it’s like
An 18+ nightclub in York spinning decades of party anthems until 3am, with VIP packages for birthdays, hens and stags.
This one's strictly for the grown-ups. It's an over-18s venue, so there's no getting in with the kids, and the whole thing runs late: doors open at 9 or 10pm depending on the night and it doesn't close until 3am.
The draw is the music. Expect a mix pulled from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s, the sort of setlist built for a dancefloor full of people who know every word. It's open Wednesday to Saturday, with Sunday through Tuesday closed, so plan your night out around that window.
If you're organising something bigger, there are VIP packages for birthdays, hen dos, stag dos and work parties. Some bookings need a deposit upfront, but that gets knocked off your final bill on the night, which softens the blow a bit.
There's a booking link if you want to sort a table or a package in advance rather than just turning up and queueing.
