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 of Worker's Stadium, TEL:
