Review of Spar

07 May 08, 15:49

I once treated an ex girlfriend....

To a spar weekend. She got all excited looking forward to her mud packs and reflexology treatments.

She was mighty dissapointed when I took her to the spar @ Brindley place. Daft tart. It's the best spar in town!! Hot pies and a great selection of booze and iced creams. however the booze can be expensive.

Really friendly staff as well!!

N.B - the girl in question dumped me after this spar weekend.

Review of Canalside Car Park

02 May 08, 15:25

Park in the pink

Park at the top, and see the stunning views of the city!!

And if you're proper thick, each floor is COLOUR CODED!!! So if you can't count you don't have to furrow your brow in confusion, just remember PINK.

All this luxury doesn't come cheap - it's a ripoff. But it is in a great location and your car will be safe.

Review of Ipanema

02 May 08, 15:19

An amazing bar.....

but if you want to visit it, you'll be out of luck. It went bust 6 months ago.

It has now been replaced by 'Foggs' bar where you can go 'around the world in 80 dishes'.

For a laugh why not go to foggs and call it ipanema all night. When someone says why are you doing it, say you don't like change.

I don't get out much.

Review of Ha Ha

No laughing matter....

It's closed down!!

But I'm sure the homeless dwellers/rats love it. I reckon it now has a dark atmosphere.

Ha ha.....

Hang on, I have to wirte at least 25 words. That should do it.

Review of Lloyds Bar

Upstairs for drinking....

is true here. Downstairs is typical Lloyds bar, but upstairs you could be forgiven you were in the living room. Except you don't need a mortgage for a bevvie.

Great for a warm up beer before heading down the street

Review of Snobs

30 Apr 08, 15:38

Want to pull a student?

Want to stick to the floor? Then get to snobs!!

It's been open since the 70's, and that was the last time it had a refurb. Before I went a friend of mine told me to wipe my feet on the way out.

However........

It is a unique, fantastic experience. If you go there thinking you'll be drinking in the hotel du vin then you'll hate it. Go with an open mind and let yourself go. Wednesday is generally the biggest night there - the queue usually streches halfway down the road.

And once I saw Franz Ferdinand drinking in there! A rock band surely can't be wrong?

Review of Bar Epernay

30 Apr 08, 15:31

Don't play chopsticks,

they'll kick you out. Epernay has a grand piano in it! Don't play on it though, you'll end up swimming in the canal.

This place is perfect if you want the nightlife of the mailbox but without the loud music. A great place for a date/couple night, not good for a hen night/stag do/pulling. Or maybe I'm rubbish at pulling.

Good food in the day as well. Worth spending some time there.

Review of Wetherspoons

30 Apr 08, 15:27

Can't afford to go on holiday?

Then drink here! It's like drinking in an airport! It's a great venue if you love 'people watching'. Also if you love cheap beer. A 'spoons is a 'spoons. You know what you're getting....
