| Club name | The Cockpit |
| Location | West Yorkshire |
| Town | Leeds |

| Description | Runs a general alternative night on Saturdays called 'The Garage'. Does tend to focus more on the nu-metal side of things but not entirely to the exclusion of everything else. Also a good medium-sized venue for bands now that the Duchess is no longer with us. Also the home of Templehead (once monthly acid-techno / trance all-nighter). |
| Opening Hours | Usually open at least until 4am. All-nighters open til 7am |

| The smallest room at The Garage is great :) The lovely DJ man is really friendly and always plays lots of wonderful songs for me :) Siouxsie,The Cure, Sisters... Depeche.... bring your own cds and smile nicely at him :)
You also get the added bonus of being able to walk through the other 2 rooms full of 13 year old nu-metallers and point and laugh at them, and think 'thank gawd that's not me' ;)*does pretentious walk*
Fantastic! |

| Saturday night isnt too bad a night out if you fancy a change from the usual haunts, tis definitely geared towards nu-metal, but the small room is always worth a visit!

| The Cockpit is a top venue, and a top club when bands aren't playing there! Altho I recent the comments about kiddies cuz I ant that old and I know and am into lots of old good stuff and gothic stuff. So I resent your comments!
P.s Cockpit rules |

| I've only ever been there for gigs but some of my friends say it's good, though I'd have to check it out for myself. |

| I've seen nothing of these alleged nu-metal moshlings in the smaller bar... it's all art studenty. The boys all look like The Strokes and the girls like Karen O out of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It's the only place I've see the DJ persuaded to play William Shatner's version of 'Common People'... |
