evildrneil Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Originally posted by robbie The Lounge is a long way away and well rubish. Swim is full of idiots. But, but The Lounge is FAB! Its my fave coffee bar in/around town! Swimm is fine during the day/early evening - and has pretty good beer/food very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBouncer Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Originally posted by TracieJC I'm not too bothered about the bars actually on West Street. As someone has already said, The Red Deer is fab though. Red Deer? You serious? You MUST be a civil servant mid to late 30's (if not further).

Guest Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Originally posted by E-Man Groovin I'm gonna have to correct you on a couple of issues Robbie I can... because it's great ;-) It's not bargain basement, but that's not the sort of clientele they are after. You generally find a loyal 20-50 year old crowd, people who don't mind spending for quality. Also the beers are two pounds fifty a bottle. I've been DJing there every week for two years and have been a regular on Fridays & Saturdays for the same period and I haven't seen a single fight. I've seen a couple of paraletic people escorted out but no fights. Whereas I DJ at Halcyon occasionally and I've seen fights there - although I have nothing at all against Halcyon, it's a lovely place. The seating's basic, yeah but that's the joy of it. It kinda reminds me of an italian ostelria. As for dirty... where'd u get that from? last time I was in the tables hadn't been cleared all night. To be fair on my more recent visits I haven't seen any trouble 9so they may have sorted that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Originally posted by Ousetunes Played a few gigs there in the late eighties, memorable because you could count on one hand how many were in the audience. Lugging all the PA system and drum kit up those narrow stairs. There is still some skin off my knuckles on the walls up that staircase. BUT! A superior PUB then to the, a-hem, BAR it is today. They had a fantastic jukebox that was the size of a transit van and they never changed the records in it. I used to like the Mailcoach, The Saddle (the original one) and the Hornblower (which was like the inside of a ship, complete with rigging and plastic crabs in nets). West Street just doesn't apeal to me now, the pubs have no character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatalieSheff Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Originally posted by royjames What do those who go down town think of west street?is it the place to be at the weekend or is it a nightmare. I find that the place is very busy with the student population and I enjoy this but some of my mates think its a nightmare,full of drunken students . there are a few nice bars and you do have to catch them at the right time. get to know staff and doorpersons too. we tend to weave in and out of west st. division st used to be cool, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
