Situated in the stunning historic city of York The Vaults Beat Club also takes you back in time. To a time of smart 3 button Italian styled suits, mini dresses and skirts, button-down collars and handmade shoes, knitted ties, cufflinks, tie pins and pocket handkerchiefs. A time of 'bob' or 'back-combed' hairstyles. Continental modes of transport in the form of Vespa's or Lambretta's or the British iconic Mini. The music was new and anti-establishment: cool, finger clicking and hip shaking modern jazz, or hard-hitting, earthy R&B, or pounding soul stompers hailing from across the pond or the more relaxed vibe of the islands to the south with those rocksteady ska beats. This is what The Vaults Beat Club is all about.
Plus a great compact venue, with a chill out beer garden, [mod band posters in the bar and a scooter hanging on the beer garden wall], that welcomes you with open arms and creates that cool 60's Mod Club vibe making you want to get up and shake ya thang. Good value drink prices for a city centre venue. Also, two NCP car parks are only 5 minutes walk from the venue.
There's plenty to see and do: historic attractions, award-winning restaurants, good value accommodation and quality retail shopping therapy. So why not make a proper weekend of it.
Unfortunately no The Bat Cave: The "Bat Cave" featuring the Dynamic Duo: Pete Watkins & Neil Olive plus guest dj's [tba] playing more Beat Club sounds but in a 'Biff, Bang, Pow' atmosphere.
