Napa Listings
Updated 20th June 2001
Clubs
With some of Britain's best DJ's playing for free in the bars, you might be too knackered to get to the clubs, when they open around midnight. If you do make it, expect to pay up to £10 to get in, and around £2 a beer. Get the full-on experience at Abyss or The Castle with up to 3,000 ravers. Or downsize with a more intimate crowd at Funk @ Rise. Clubs shut at 4am, then it's down to the after party 'till dawn.
