Dalston has a pretty nice nightlife on a saturday night. Crowded places, tricked bouncers, half an hour queue and of course a large part of funny time. The area is certainly vivid enough to consider it as one of the most exciting places in London. There is always a chance to find a gig or a booming party in its great many clubs.
Still, it always seems the offer remains ordinary from a place to another, maybe because it relies too few on the quality of their events. Spotless if you are looking for a warm ambience, small decor and respectable music, you might be disappointed by a lack of identity spreading out of its more obvious clubs. In the end their great numbers only seems to hide their lack of diversity (should I refer to their names, one of them being "Bar 512").
Compare it to Shoreditch or Brick Lane and you start seeing some contradictions, lacks of meaning and hence of identity (I'll go further on those areas and the East end later). I won't deny the good time you can have as I'll probably go back there with some friends again. Still, I try to hightlight the little cultural interest that make this place not as spectacular as it could be, and probably not memorable.
