Loaded Dog Quids In Thursdays are better than any night in the O2

The O2 is a Leicester student’s haven. Whether you’re an Avril Lavigne screaming, VK downing LetsDisko fan, or a J-Bomb popping nutter craving Saturday’s Shabang-over – The O2 caters for any buttery student night out.

But what happens when you simply can’t handle belting out Wonderwall at the top of your lungs at 3am on a Wednesday morning, and still want to get absolutely smashed up for £20?

Loaded Dog – Quids In Thursdays, thats what.

No one likes Carling, but £1.75 a pint? Take my money

The value for money here is really something you can’t ignore. Even myself, a self-confessed fan of Wetherspoons- the hallmark of cheap booze- can’t argue with £1.75 a pint.

And the best thing about all this is all the people who were on socials on Wednesday night are too hungover to even contemplate drinking on a Thursday. So you don’t have to deal with a member of the rugby team trying to start a mosh-pit, whilst dressed like a fox, or something else that makes them look like a twat, because a mildly rock-like-tune from the noughties came on.

You can be sure to enjoy your £1.50 Morgans Spiced and Coke in peace, whilst strolling back from the Juke Box, happy in the knowledge that whatever song you picked isn’t going to be ruined on your next venture to the O2.

Because you’re too edgy to listen Dimitri Vegas’ ‘Tremor’ on repeat.

Odds are, if you’re in the Dog on a Thursday you’re with some good mates who you’re actually able to talk to, instead of shouting over that song that you kind of know the words to but aren’t quite sure.

You’re going to have a good laugh, and you’re not going to end up pissing your own body weight in sweat, chafing against the moist bodies of other students, because it’s unbearably hot.

The drink point system is a dream too, I don’t see the O2 offering me a free beverage after knocking back a £3.50 pissy-watered down pint of Carlsberg.

So yes, it’s not quite as mainstream.

The toilets are a trek and when you get there you wish that you hadn’t bothered because a Victorian outhouse probably smells better. But with the right group of people, the right tunes being played through the Juke Box, and with £20 in fist, you’re going to have a better night here than at any O2 night.

You may not be able to get your typical Fast Food Factory grease, but the money you saved on alcohol leaves you with the perfect excuse for a Dominos.

Loaded Dog , we salute you.
