Where to go tonight in Leeds?

As the title says. Me and a couple of friends are off over to the heathen side of Yorkshire for a gig later, and we're now not going to be able to drive back straight afterwards like we thought we would. So rather than kipping in a dirty station on a friday night, we figure we might as well pull an all-nighter, enjoy the nightlife and sleep when we get back

. I realise Leeds is a big place and there'll be plenty to do, but none of us have ever been for a night out there, and have no idea about where is worth our time. Any recommendations?

Alt or indie music preferably, somewhere not too packed, and a nice late closing time would be nice, but we're not overly picky.

Not been out in Town for a while, but if I remember the Atrium used to have a good indie night on. It's 3 floors with the top floor being the indie/blues night.

Also I think the cockpit is an indie type place too, but not actually been.

Get yourself to the cockpit! indie/rock night, not expensive, small dark and dirty.. just what you want!

Or the Faversham near the uni is a good indie/rock night although much more studenty but the cockpit is right next the the station if that helps.

Who you going to see?

The Cockpit totally sounds like a gay club

Yeah Cockpit was the one name we'd heard mentioned, looks like being the one then.
