The party-happy crowd aren't afraid to get on down, move on up, or give their tailfeathers a righteous good shaking at this north London DJ bar.

When they first put a red rope and carpet outside this long standing boozer, the concept of a DJ bar was a virtual unknown outside Brixton. Working with labels and artists, The Compass has built an impressive roster of house, funk and soul DJs til 2am most nights of the week.

Firmly believing that your behind was designed for the boogie, the proprietors have done away with most of the seating to prove the point. With friendly staff, expensive but effective cocktails and a good looking crowd, The Compass is a classy night out in North London.

DJs play every night except Tuesday, which is a Fat comedy night, and Sunday when the staff take a well earned breather.
