Location
Entropy is normally held in the Porter Butt on the London Road in Bath. We had a few problems with licensing at the end of 2005 but now we're back at the Porter Butt. We also run occasional nights at QT's Nightclub (formerly T's nightclub) under Pultney Bridge on Tuesday, 22nd of August.

How do I to the Porter Butt?

There is a car-park at the rear of the Pub, and Entropy will be held in the rear function room. For those driving, you can find a map of where the Porter Butt is here . For those coming by bus or train to Bath check out this map on a larger scale. If you zoom in the bus and train stations can be found in the middle, near the bottom of the map.

Didn't you used to be at the Windows Arts Centre?

Yes we did. The Windows Arts Centre, now Invention Arts, is a central location that caters for many more people that we can fit in the Porter Butt so why did we move?

After a full year of running Entropy we had to close in November '02 as we were losing too much money. Some of this was due to mistakes on my part, but most due to the cost of the venue and the number of people showing up. Although we had some great nights with nearly 100 people, we needed 80 or so each night to break even - an unsustainable number in a venue that didn't serve drinks after 11 o'clock and never managed to get us a late licence.

Didn't you run a night in the Crown Inn?

With changes to the licensing laws taking place on the 24th of November 2005, the license of the Porter Butt was extended to 1am each Friday and Saturday nights. Unfortunately a restriction was imposed against any amplified music after 11pm. Obviously this is no good for Entropy and so we moved to the Crown Inn for the last Entropy of 2005. We did plan on running a few more nights in the Crown Inn at the start of 2006 but decided to have a break and restart at the Porter Butt when they sorted out the licensing issues.
