Vudu Lounge
WHERE
York
What it’s like
A late-night York club with a dress code, open into the small hours from Wednesday to Saturday.
This is a nightclub, not a family stop, so leave the kids at home for this one. Doors open at 8pm Wednesday to Friday and 4pm on Saturday, and it runs until 4am each of those nights, which tells you this is a proper late one rather than a quick after-work drink.
Smart-casual is what they ask for on the door, and from what they say on their site they're not fussed about age as long as you bring the energy. That's a nice way of saying you won't feel out of place if you're not twenty-two anymore, which is more than some clubs can claim.
Saturday's the odd one out with that 4pm start, so if you want a longer session or you're easing into the night with an early drink before it fills up, that's your slot. There's no booking link listed, so it looks like a turn-up-on-the-night sort of place rather than one where you reserve a table in advance.
