Does anyone still go out round bolton?

Obviously i mean in the evenings/early mornings

Ive had to drive through a few times and when i used to go out the places that used to be rammed and full of people seemed deserted.  Bank street, bradshawgate etc

we used to go to

indiego/hawthorns
temple/eden
ikon/Jaxx
Atlantis

And most nights after going out we would end up in the 24 hour pool bar above (i think it was called) chicago rock.

Bars wise in town, before clubbing, we used to just go where ever.  Varsity, Yates, BL1 etc.

At one point i used to go in the crown and flick on a saturday afternoon.  (what was THAT about?)

Anyway, does anyone still go out?  what was your nights out like round Bolton when you did?

Ikon is no more and must have been closed almost 10 years now.

There were rumours of it becoming a department store and then an all you can eat buffet but still nothing of late.

i went out in Bolton for the first time in years a few months ago and it was dead! The only highlight was seeing Supa John out for a drink   Bradshawgate is dead now (so my mate tells me anyway ) which is probably why he always tries to put me off coming back for nights out, he would rather come to Manchester.

The only pubs I will go to in town are Harveys and The Spinning Mule, wouldn't bother going in town on a night out as it's completely shite.

I agree with Norpig that the pubs in Manchester are a lot nicer especially the newly refurbed Crown and Anchor next door to the Mitre Hotel although some of the staff there need retraining.

Johnny are you contemplating a night of Pepsi Max out in Bolton?

Not not at all, just making conversation

I know it was very very chavvy but i used to love eden and temple.  When i was 16 until about 19 i used to go out tuesday, thursday friday and saturday!!!

At one point temple was £7 to get in and drinks where free all night.

I remember asking for a double JD and they said i could only have a single so i just stood there got single after single until they got pissed off and just filled my glass.  (It was watered down to hell!)

Atlantis was always fun, i prefered the RnB and HipHop upstairs more than the Boomtish downstairs.

And ikon and Jaxx was always the option if we couldn't be arsed getting the bus to atlantis!

It did used to be a good night in Bolton.  I never had any trouble (apart from once, partly my own doing!) but even the nightlife side of the town centre is decaying with the rest of it.

If you're good looking and 22 years of age it isn't all that bad

That's all well and good but how does a quasimodo mutha funky like you get on

Johnny, why do you not drink anymore?

Do you become a twat with it?

I only turn out for a decent pint and a chat and can get that in town so it's ok.

No

Eden was my second home.

I was in Scotts bar in Horwich yesterday, not been out in Bolton at night for about 4 years.

No not at all. It was probably more the scene and everything. And some of the people i was knocking about with. If i really fancy a drink id have one (and be pissed off that one) but at the end of the day chocolate milk tastes nicer
