Review of Bay Trading Co

30 Apr 08, 01:35

Shop

In the former location of Dolcis, Bay Trading seems like quite a tacky shop or at least one that is frequented by mid teens.

Dolcis still has a small section of the store occupying the left hand wall. However everything is quite jumbled and they seem to take ages getting shoes for you to try on.

Review of Urban Retreat

If you're having your hair done in Harrods, you know it's not going to be a bad job. But watch out - only go here when you feel rich.

As well as hair cuts you can get beauty treatments like manicures and massages which is good, and there's often space on the day so if you get really hacked off with shopping you can just pop off for a massage brill!

Review of Topshop

Shop

This topshop is quite small and doesn't have that great a range of stuff. Also the turnaround in different styles is quite slow.

Menswear is on the ground floor and ladieswear upstairs which always bothers me as surely it's a ladieswear store first! Just a niggle that's always annoyed me!!

Always lots of staff to help though and the shoe assistants are always lovely.

Review of Topshop

Shop

This is either amazing or a nightmare depending what type of mood you're in. It's always busy and it is massive so you can actually forget where you were a few minutes ago to find a top again if you haven't been there before.

There's a cafe in the basement and toilets free for anyone to use. Unusually for a top shop there is a whole floor of concessions with small outlets for up and coming designers which is great.

Review of Urban Outfitters

Shop

Smaller than the Oxford Circus branch, the range in this UO is obviously not as big but is still great. The main difference is the size of the vintage area.

Clothes are of a really high quality, but the price reflects that. The turnaround of styles and designs is also pretty quick.

Shop.

I love this shop. It's near Oxford Circus next to Oxford Circus and is dangerous if you don't have much money because everything is gorgeous.

Menswear is downstairs and they also have a small music section down there. Ladieswear takes up two floors although there is a small amount of homewear as well. Changing rooms often have a queue but they are nice to use.

Good for buying gifts and secret santa pressies also.

Review of Foxhall

Rough

Traditionally known as one of the roughest pubs in Blackpool I wouldn't go here unless you really had to.

It was pretty grotty and run down but a refurb spruced it up a little. However unless you like fights, I'd avoid.

Review of Talk Of The Coast

Tadah!

This is a cabaret bar inside a popular hotel in Blackpool down South Shore way.

It's has various entertainers / singers performing so it's best to ring ahead and find out who is on before planning a trip. The crowd is always really lively and friendly and it's true entertainment Blackpool stylee.

Review of Yates's Wine Lodge

Booze

Ring and check ahead if you're planning to go to this Yates as it's only open half the year when it's in season.

This is larger than the other Yates but also frequented by more holiday makers as it's down the more skanky south shore end of the promenade.

Lots of tables outside which is good for smokers and sun fans.
