Norbert Rassragr Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I used to drink Newcastle brown when I was young and went to Esquires in Bedford. That's mainly because the pints were Charles Wells eagle, the worst beer made or scrumpy jack which was like battery acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst ale I ever consumed was in a place near us ran by Vaux I think it was called, a North East Brewery. We were convinced they just pumped it straight out of the nearby canal.

Bepeja43 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So glad so glad I had my teens-early 20's in the 90s.. I'd be so bored if I had them now with no nightlife scene anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 7, 2018 Moderation Lead Share Posted August 7, 2018 To be fair, there’s a fair bit in Darwen and there’s more in Blackburn than there has been for ages. Admittedly, there’s next to nothing in Accrington, bar local pubs then people’s houses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Mr G's, Never Neverland and the one next to it, that was just in two streets almost back to back. Just what the hell do people in their 20's do on weekends these days ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBiz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 More like nightlife in Oswaldtwistle but just a quick shout out for the Tap Select bar in Oswaldtwistle. Really cool beers, good food, cool atmosphere. On the site of the old TSB. Also an old mate of mine running it! Oswaldtwistle is developing a real route once again too so I’d advise you have a go!

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted December 15, 2018 Moderation Lead Share Posted December 15, 2018 Funnily enough, I ended up there tonight! It wasn’t too bad! I watched some music at The Christmas markets, then headed to a few bars. That Drummer’s Arms is decent, what was O’Neills, well, it is what it is and The Napier was alright, but not so much my bag these days! It was busier than I expected, I have to say...

Mattyblue Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Looking at social media over Christmas, the problem Blackburn has is that as its nightlife declined from the back end of the 2000s onwards loads of other places around here improved. I saw folk out in Clitheroe, Whalley, Darwen, Preston, Burnley and obviously Manchester for a big ‘un. A lot of those people would have been out in Blackburn a decade ago, now they wouldn’t even think of it. It’s a vicious circle, despite the marginal improvement this past couple of years, folk still see it as crap, so don’t go, not enough decent bars open. As there’s not enough footfall, not enough decent bars open. Edited January 2, 2019 by Mattyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
