Lakota (club)

Lakota is a nightclub situated off Stokes Croft, Bristol. The building is the only remaining part of the Stokes Croft Brewery, and is part of the Stokes Croft Conservation Area [ [http://www.stpaulsunlimited.org.uk/taskgroups/planningsubgroup.shtml St Pauls Unlimited Planning Sub Group] ] . It is considered to be a 'local landmark' by the Bristol City Council [ [http://www.bristol.gov.uk/committee/2007/wa/wa001/0926_6.pdf Bristol City Council Development Control (Central) Committee 26 September 2007] - retrieved 17th March 2008] , and was "once deemed in the early nineties as one of the most famous clubs in the country outside London" [Aubery, M. "et al.", "Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol", Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Newcastle upon Tyne [http://www.ncl.ac.uk/youthnightlife/bristolrep.pdf] ] .
