Dynasty opium and giving way for true happiness to bloom
in the night with the glimmerings and wonderful rhythm.

 I
thought Vics was just having a new paint-job. Instead
I found that they have not just completely stripped
the joint, but have also taken over half of Outback
Steakhouse as well!. Entering through a doorway that
looks like it came out of '2001: A Space Odyssey', the
first thing that hits you is the fact there are not
only two floors but also two flights of stairs. The
first of these is the 'Relaxation Zone' where minimalist
furmiture and trance music are combined; downstairs
is the old 'Vics Zone' with hip hop and R'n'B tunes
booming out of the new sound system. Add: North Gate
