...suggested a night out to Flares , i was tempted to say No as i had heard alot of different opinions of it and people telling me that i didnt want to be seen dead in there. But not wanting to turn a night out down , i thought id go and experience it for myself. It is a fairly small club with a dancefloor that when the club is busy can get packed very quickly. They play a good mix of music from the 60's . 70's ,80's and 90's . the prices for drinks ... ...are regular giveaways and the staff are all dressed up.
The only downside is that the people in there tend to be alot older ( im 23 and i felt like the youngest person in there!) howver there it has a great atmosphere.
If you like different types of music from the past then get down there and boogie!! ... more

Advantages: Good selection for all ages and musical styles. Disadvantages: Hard to get a taxi home, very busy on Broad Street.
code of smart/casual at weekends and sometimes the bouncers can be fussy about who they let in, eg. no big groups. Just around the corner from Broad Street is Brindley Place, a more upmarket area by the the canal with restaurants and bars. If you don't like mainstream music (dance/pop), you probably won't like Broad Street though. If you like 70's music and styles, Flares (many towns such as Cardiff and Liverpool also have Flares) is the place for you. It's on Broad Street, situated in an old church. I like the Rat and Parrot, which plays RnB/garage on Friday and Saturday nights. It has big sqaushy sofas and a nice interior with plants. The drinks aren't too expensive wither (for Broad street anyway!)
Luckily there are alternative nightclubs too. If you like Indie music, try Snobs, on the corner of Paradise Place, or The Academy ...
