  • Tip Rating:
  • If in Scotland and looking for a good night out - find a ceilidh to go to! This is a traditional scottish evening with a band and lots of dancing - doesn't matter if you don't know how to do Scottish dancing there will always be someone to show you - and it is great fun!
    Places such as The Riverside Club and the Renfrew Ferry in Glasgow and the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh - so try the drinking and the dancing and experience something uniquely Scottish!

    Clubs and pubs have changed so...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Clubs and pubs have changed so much over the last ten years i find it difficult to choose, if you are in the uk for the first time ,find a record store, then a flyer, and choose your self!, i would go for cafe blu bristol for hard techno,anything in bournmouth for house, and rock circus where ever that maybe now for the power cords.
    cafe blu shakes with the bass , the building was a fire station, so a natural high roof gives a cathedral element to what is a dingy hole, but i love it! punters are really mashed some nights!

    when i went last, anything!(but that was a year ago)

  • Tip Rating:
  • London Pubs.
    You can find traditional pubs everywhere so if you want a pint, you don't have to look far. They close at eleven though. Also, went to a few 'more modern' bars: Alphabet- Hip spot w/ strong drinks.
    Lab- ultra fab w/huge cocktail menu and great tunes.
    Freedom Brewery- Very hip, good beer and modern feel.
    Bar Rhumba- Basement night club with the hip and the beautiful. Who wants to sit in their room?

  • Tip Rating:
  • Ok as u can guess the nightlife in penistone is more a nite in the pub than mad clubbing or partying. There areat least 9 pubs in the centre or within walking distance. All of them are friendly locals with the odd disco and karaoke cropping up. If its a mad nite on the town then visit barnsley 20 mins away which has an abundance of pubs and several niteclubs that are okay for a laugh. 1 of my favourite pubs is the theatre which is the size of a club and has all circus decorations up. its like a normal pub but has a stage for live bands which play every nite. Also the dance area is massive and it stays open till 12 which is good by englands pub standards hehehe. If u really want a mad nite then go to sheffield which has the dance club gatecrasher. here anything goes and u can polish up yer dancing for yer hols in ibiza hehehe

    Glasgow has the best nightlife...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Glasgow has the best nightlife in the whole of Scotland. With pubs lining every street and hundreds of clubs, what more can you ask for. One of my personal favourites is a club called The Garage. Always plenty of 70's, 80's and 90's music and a great atmosphere. Even entry and drinks are quite cheap.

    Not really got a dress code, generally smart casual. However, if the bouncers think you are drunk or just take a dislike to you, then they will probably tell you that you dont meet the dress code.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Glasgow center looks like tiny New York (I am shortsighted I admit) And there are plenty of people in the streets on Friday - Saturday evening. It looks quite cheerful. There is Riverside club if you want to visit Ceilich every Friday and Saturday. A lot of information about what is up in the evening you can find in Metro (it is free newspaper in the busses and underground) Plenty of very nice concerts and festivals...Pubs, of course...Probably some quantity of martial arts knowledge will be of help just to keep the conversation polite.

    I'm going to be awkward here...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I'm going to be awkward here and say that I quite genuinely do not have 'a' favourite nightlife spot. I love sitting in the pubs drinking in the middle of nowhere with a group of mates, about as much as I love going mad in a busy nightclub in city central.

    There is just far too many places for a good night out for me to recommend any one.
    The variety of music, the variety of drinks, the 'variety' full stop. It's the spice of life, you know!

    This really changes depending on where you go. Clubs usually want shoes and trousers, and a smart top or shirt at least. Village pubs will let you have shorts if you so wish.

    various: Clubbing
  • Tip Rating:
  • I'm not giving any names since places are 'here today, gone tomorrow' in this world but London and Manchester are excellent for all music life, clubbing etc. and places like Glasgow, Bristol, Leeds and Birmingham aren't far behind. Just grab copies of their local papers to see what's hot at the moment.
