THE FLOODGATE IS OPEN. NEARLY.
Fuzzy Duck. Touch the cup. “I have never.” We’ve all got our fave drinking games, but brand spanking new activity-packed bar The Floodgate is about to add to that list. The absolute LADS. If beers and baseball is your thing, you can take it to the Bleachers and slog it out in one of four batting cages. There’s neon, slinky-filled curling for anyone who thinks the Olympic event looks as easy as mopping duty during a kitchen close-down at The Square Peg. And you can be in the privileged position of playing the only Pit Pat UV of its kind in the UK (think crazy golf goes out clubbing with American pool and things go really well). Set to some proper good backdrops by local street artist, Gent 48, games cost from £10 to £50. Opening tomorrow (Nov 1), book.

FILM PICK: DOCTOR SLEEP
A sequel to The Shining is a ballsy move, especially given it’s an adaptation of a book that deliberately ignored Stanley Kubrick’s deviations from the original novel. Smartly dancing through this minefield, it’s a pint-sized miracle the story makes sense – let alone is a highly watchable horror flick. Doctor Sleep is at its strongest with Ewan McGregor’s grown version of the son from the earlier film, burying his memories of Jack Nicholson’s rampage with booze. It’s too much of a giveaway to say how this incorporates Kubrick’s film — source of some of the most iconic images in horror history — but there’s obviously been a lot of homework done, and the overall package is smart, confident and effective.
