Theata: Pub in Covent Garden, London

Theata is a food venue in WC2R, and its late nights are where the room comes alive. The programming leans towards house and techno, the sort of night built around a long set and a crowd that came to dance. If that's what you want, this is a good place to start. Club nights here tend to pull in people who know the music and turn up for the sound. Food is part of the venue, so plan the evening around it. Eat first if you want a slow start, or head straight to the floor if you don't. Expect a crowd that dresses for the dance floor and stays until the end. Some come as regulars. Others arrive on a tip from a friend who was there the last time. The listings below show what's coming up.
