If you're deciding where to go out in Preston on a weekend, Baluga on Church Street has a cocktail bar upstairs and a club below, open Friday 6pm to 4am and Saturday 4pm to 4am. Join the free guest list and, if you're in the first 100, you get into the club free between 9pm and 11pm.

Where to go out in Preston: the bar and the club

The Bar is upstairs: brass, velvet, living green walls, booths and table service. The menu is handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits and champagne.

The club is underground, in golds and greens with a jungle theme. It has resident DJs, a dance floor and rows of VIP booths. You can spend the whole night in the same building, moving downstairs when you're ready to dance.

Getting in free on the guest list

The guest list gives free entry to the first 100 guests between 9pm and 11pm, and you skip the queue. It is advance sign-up only and opens for the next opening night. Each person signs up on their own with a mobile number and email, and you get a confirmation by text. Sign up on the club guest list page.

If you'd rather start earlier

The £12 All Inclusive Pre Party runs 8pm to 10pm and covers your entry for the whole night plus four drinks from the house menu. Groups of four or more pay £10 each. It is a good fit if your group meets before 9pm. Details are on the pre party page.
