hmmmm some on that list are a bit dodgy.Cant argue with first spot.Id bang Newcastle in there somewhere too.Edinburgh should be higher up too,top night out.

Not surprised really that we've come out on top, I think people like the fact the city centre is so compact but still fits a big variety of venues in such a small space. I am quite surprised that London came so high. I love London, but I'm not sure what "a night out in London" would even mean as it's so huge.

Liverpool is by far the best.

Edinburgh and Newcastle second and third for me.

Ive bevvied in every one of those cities...and find it odd that Newcastle isnt in the list as it pishes aal over two thirds of it

The Only places I haven't been on that list are Cardiff, Blackpool and Glasgow if they're better than Newcastle they're next on my list. Doubt it.

Shorrocks Hill in Formby is the pinnacle imo.

Manchester better night out than London ? Maybe 20 odd years ago if you were off your barnet in the hacienda.

Shorrocks is terrible! I live in Formby, and every Friday/Saturday night, I'll go to the pub for afew, and purposefully wear trainers so that I don't end up going to Shorrocks. But then I just end up going home and putting shoes on anyway. Don't think a good night has ever been had there! Full of wannabes.

When I think about clubs where you have to wear shoes I instantly hear "Yeah" by Usher in my head and then shudder.

That's why I'm surprised Belfast rated so highly. I was there on a stag do in the summer and I got turned away from somewhere for having a polo shirt and a jumper on. They were about 10 years behind us, loads of places wanted a shirt and shoes.

That shit is starting to soften a bit in Ireland, thank God, before you'd wind up at some shit hole backwater club and you'd swear with all the guff it was Spearmint Rhino. I hate having to bring a back up pair of Shoes whenever I go anywhere "just in case". I'm off to Cardiff in February and I'm drawing the line.

Sorry but Newcastle has to be there and probably number one. Four distinct areas, five if you include Osbourne Road in Jesmond. There isn't one night you won't have a top night, everywhere always has a good atmosphere, be it Bambu, Digital, Liquid, Riverside, you name it.

This list is wildly inaccurate. Whilst I agree to the top choice (they clearly havent been to Concert Square when the scallies are fighting), quite why the entertainment mecca of the country isnt mentioned is staggering......I give you Wigan.

Wigan has it all, dandily-dressed locals in leather jackets, Rockport and FCUK jumpers that come down to their knees. People are clearly mega-rich considering the amount of bling they wear. The women are stunning, tanned 24 hours a day, all year round with a complexion that would put Umpa Lumpa's to shame and of course who can resist the sight of giant fat thighs and a mini-skirt, its enough to make a man weak at the knees.

Those of you musically inclined can jig about to the delights of Rick Astley, B-Witched, Ace of Base and New Kids on T'Block, and to end the night with that special girl, a slowie to Bonnie Tyler.

Why not round of the night with some local food, pea wet, pie floaters, babby's head and chip muffins washed down with a tin o pop!

Move over Manchester and London, Wigan is magical

thing is, all well and good ahving a list but its all about what people want for a night out.Each to their own.Some places that arent on the list that shoudl be IMO and some places that are far too high on it,and some too low that should be higher.

Antics · « **Reply #26 on:** November 11, 2011, 11:59:14 am »

Not going to argue on this forum of all places that it deserves to be number 1. But Newcastle is undoubtedly top 10. I'd probably have it top 3 with Liverpool and London.

id have newcastle in top five certainly.I wouldnt have London in the top 5 though.Can be a nightmare having a night out in London.If you stik to certain areas its alright

Cant believe Ellesmere Port has not been mentioned.
The locals at Destiny and Elite are joy to behold.
Dancing with someone who has six toes and two thumbs gives them the edge,
you will not find anyone better on the dancefloor.
The Port is where its at.

Yeah, I was a bit miffed over that. Had to spend about 3 hours there after an away a couple of years back and goodness me it was one of the greatest nights out of my life thus far!

Three shite pubs that sold rubbish beer, plenty of 50 year old woman dressing as if they were 16, lads wanting to fight all over the shop and the worst chippy I have ever set foot in.

The cheap booze also helps Liverpool's position. Being from Belfast and now live in Liverpool (well near as) the difference re price of booze is on average £1 a drink.

Belfast, (ni in general for drink) is a shameful ripoff compared to the north of england. Diageo and InBev have the place carved up into a price fixing cartel. Belfast city centre has booze prices that would compare unfavourably with central London.

The fuck's Manchester doing in the top 10. Never had a good night out there. Dead expensive, full of dickheads, birds to blokes ratio is like 1:5, it's fucking shite.

Twice I've been in Manchester. First time was a brilliant night out, second was rather meh.

Agree with the birds to blokes ratio though.

It's a joke mate. Every time I go out with a few mates we always seem to get knocked back purely due to the lack of birds. I know alot of places will knock back big groups but when there's only 4 or 5 of you it's ridiculous.

Most of the bars and clubs are fucking shite anyway. Printworks is a shit hole and should be knocked down, preferrably at around 2am on a Saturday so they can take out all the vile Manc knobheads inside.
