Club Description
Downstairs is the Combustion Chamber - a big, multi-level hard house floor, with the DJ booth in the centre, lots of smoke, lots of strobes and a loud sound system.  There's a little chill out area downstairs too.   Upstairs there's the Smoking Lounge and a smaller underground garage floor with less impressive lights and sound (as few dance there anyway).
Capacity
800
Popularity Of The Club
Very popular - packed - everyone loves the club and the DJs - there's a great atmosphere
Nature of clubbers
In a city which has not got a particularly friendly reputation, this club was full to the brim with friendly clubbers (even the, ahem, drug dealers were dead friendly, even when you refuse to buy drugs).   Everybody's there for a great time, and everyone has one - though all of us get exhausted after a few hours - 8 hours is a long time, but great fun, due to the two contrasting dance floors - after a few hours of hard house you can relax to underground garage
Cost
£8
Opening/Closing time
22:00 - 06:00 [Every 2nd & 4th Friday of each month]

DJs
Excellent - only heard about three familiar floor-fillers throughout the night - one of those was Flat Beat, so that's understandable.   The other two were around 5.55 when you need something like that to pick you up.   Any DJs that can keep hundreds dancing ''til 6 in the morning without floor-fillers are definitely something special
Dress code
Make an effort
Toilets
Busy, but adequate
Drinks
Beer - £2.50 per pint/can - Carling on tap, plus Bud, Kronenberg, Coke, 7UP etc in cans
Age in General
A young-ish crowd, though plenty of older clubbers too
Bouncers
Friendly, no complaints at all
Food
At 6 in the morning, in the centre of Bristol city, you might as well wait for McyD's or one of the many other fast food joints in the area to open.
Alternative Clubs
Bristol is full of top quality clubs.  Only London has more clubs than Bristol in the South/South East.  Expect more Bristol reviews later this year.

Address
Club Loco, Hepburn Road, Bristol.  Go to Bristol centre (Be careful drunken kids don't mistake you for a taxi - it happen to us twice! Also, avoid asking drunken people where the club is, as they tend to demand a lift home in return!).  Find the Beefeater near the giant Bentals, and go left, through three sets of traffic lights, and Club Loco is through a tiny alleyway on the right.
