Chinawhite Launch

 

Last night London nightclub Chinawhite opened its Manchester branch on Deansgate in Milton Hall, the former home of The Milton Club.

As the name suggests, the club has undergone an east-Asian refurb, offering appealing stone murals and Chinese patterns, and the bar areas have been moved so that the dance floor is a little bigger. The prices (high), the clientele (good looking, rich, the 'in' crowd) and the music (contemporary hip hop and RnB) are all the same though. Hey, serve up what people will pay for. It's basically the same as Panacea, LIV, Bijou etc. My friend told me there was no water in the taps in the ladies room.

Pretty sure I saw Playboy model Sarah Longbottom and boxing ring girl manager Sara Beverley of SBJ Management. You might see her holding the flag when the boxing's on.

Nice night. I was hoping for a little more originality though.
