Background

Klute is a nightclub located in the English city of Durham, based in a converted boathouse adjacent to Elvet Bridge. It is highly popular with the more affluent section of the student population of Durham University and has been exclusively a student only venue since 2002. The club has been owned by the Ultimate Leisure Group plc since 1997 which has a substantial holding of establishments across the North East of England. Opening seven days a week during university term time, it offers a general mix of pop and dance music from the 60s to the present.

Trivia

The club has a dubious claim to be the worst nightclub in Europe, on the basis of a poll allegedly conducted by the magazine FHM in 1996. The club came runner up, but assumed The Title on the subsequent destruction of the winner, located in Belgrade, by fire.
