What's Your Fav City To Booze In

[Bluto10]

for me I don't think you can beat Manchester or Newcastle.

They have everything a lively fun city should have.

History, architecture, trendy bars, old man bars and brilliant beer gardens.

Also like a city that has separate areas, each with different characteristics and styles.

 

On the continent the German cities are always fun but I think Amsterdam trumps then as its more scenic.

 

You, what do you think?

[Dynamo]

Munich.

London.

[Bluto10]

Londons a good shout.

[vanderark14]

London

Dusseldorf

Edinburgh

[Bluto10]

Edinburgh.

 

I see a more civilized, almost cultured, side of Mobby coming out these days.

Commenting on food threads and enjoying nights out in Bourgeois Edinburgh.

 

;-)

 

I loved it there.

Tore it up for nearly a decade.

For once I agree with you, on Manc and Newc.

 

London on a summers day is hard to beat.

 

Outside the UK honourable mentions to Cologne, Dusseldorf and Melbourne.

 

I was also in Dublin and Belfast for the first time over xmas... it's a cliche, but both were a superb afternoon/evening night out!

Heard many a good thing about Melbourne.

 

Why the two shouts for Dussledorf?

Reminds me of AWP.

Edinburgh

Dublin

Manchester

Newcastle is pretty good too.

 

Not Middlesbrough.

[Bluto10]

Edinburghs coming out as a popular destination.

 

Lacks beer gardens though I'd say.

Or even just terrace drinking.

Scotland's rubbish for that.

[The Oxford Don]

Munich, and not just during the O-fest.

 

Edinburgh, ironically at any time of year other than now when the city is positively overrun with bloody tourists.

 

Cologne is fun too, as someone else has said. Pretty much anywhere in Germany, in fact. Great country.

[Bluto10]

Beer gardens are shit

They don't have jukers.

Think out of the box Mobby min.

 

We normally slap the iPhone on the table and play music from it.

I thought Oxford was pretty decent too.

[Poodler]

Glasgow

 

Newcastle

 

London - Soho. Some crazy shit

[minijc]

Berlin, London and Liverpool, was surprised at how good Liverpool was for a spin around, Belrin speaks for itself, fantastic place where you have allsorts going on and London has some fine boozers.

[zander]

Agree with Bluto Manc is a great city.

 

Northern Quater being the best area.

[The Oxford Don]

Been back a few times. Actually not that much fun if you're not a student; the bars close at 11pm on the dot (always hated that about drinking down south) and on Friday and Saturday nights the city centre can turn a bit wild-westy.

 

Great fun if you ARE a student though, as you can do a bar-crawl of all the college bars. There's, like, 30 of them, and being student places, they're all dead cheap.

Maybe just familiarity breeding contempt but I find Edinburgh shit for pubs. London and Munich for me. Had a stag in Leeds which was amazing but think that was as much the occasion as the actual boozers. Not really a city but the East Neuk has some great wee pubs dotted through it and is my favourite place in the world.

[Bluto10]

NQ, aye it's good.

 

Quite like Deansgate for the boozers and beer gardens

I lived in Crail for five years, and I endorse this statement.

[Bluto10]

Bars don't close at 11pm in England TOD min.

 

It's Nae 1986.

[woohoo]

the woohoo backs up Melbourne, the city's got it all drinks wise.

 

New York, London, Newcastle.

Erm... I was back in Oxford four weeks ago! Chucky-oot time at 11pm on the dot! Same in Stratford back in March when I was staying there for the Cheltenham Festival. "If you want to keep drinking go back to your hotel and ask them to keep the bar open" - literally what we were told.

 

Maybe I was just unlucky, but it did seem that most of the bars were emptying around that time.

 

Bit of a shocker when you live in Edinburgh and are used to being able to take a leisurely time over it until well after 1am.

[Bluto10]

Not the same

Aye, but it can be A giggle when yourea bit boozy.

 

Jukeboxes are ace.

 

Luckily one of my locals does it himself.

Neil Young, golden earring and others on regularly.

 

Canna stand 'Spoons pubs with zero music and atmos.

Think it's more up to the individual premise these days.

 

Been to hunners of pubs that serve long after 11, as recently as last weekend.

 

Agreed though, it's frustrating as fuck when a good boozer shuts early.

Aye indeed. Especially in a place like Stratford - beautiful wee historic pubs, great atmosphere, plenty of good local beers on tap... and then the dreaded fucking bell at 10.50pm.

 

Rage.

I love Crail. Used to stay in the East Neuk Hotel a lot before it closed. It's open again though and had a facelift. Seafood platter is the bollocks.

Was at Deansgate Locks pre roses.

 

Belmont Street type places but nice on a fine day next to the canal.

[Bluto10]

Under the arches?

Or ground level to the canal?

 

Was there couple of weekends ago with the crew.

Ace fun.

Photos galore.
