Nightlife Spot: Broad Street

Broad Street is a one (long- especially when you've had a drink) road jam-packed with clubs, bars, casino's, strip clubs, a cinema, hotels & places to eat.

This area is mainly aimed towards adults and most of the bars & clubs you have to be over 18 to get in (but the odd few you have to be 21).

Nightlife Spot: Broad Street

The Brasshouse is a pub on Broad Street and on the outskirts of Brindley Place. It over looks the canal and Symphony Hall with seats outside where you can relax with a pint (of Stella in my case) and have something to eat if you wish.

I remember coming in here when I was younger for someone's Birthday party on a Friday night, after a certain time it practically tunred into a nightclub. It has a good atmosphere about it both day and night any day of the week.

Can't comment on the food, but the beer (Stella) is of a good price and the barstaff are very friendly, I've never had no problem with any of them so far.

If you're lucky you might catch me in here on a weekday between 12-1 on my lunch break with a stella in one hand and some kind of food in the other!! If you do see me come over and say 'ello :-)

Nightlife Spot: Broad Street

This is a bar situated on Broad Street across the road from where I work, I went there for the first time last week.

Never had been in there before as it's a Wetherspoons pub. I don't like them. They are far to quiet for me, as they don't play any music in any of them, but this was a (special) one of as someone was leaving from work.

The prices wasn't to bad, you can buy a 'burger and drink' meal for £4.25. The price wasn't to bad as I said, but the meal was sh**e and they didn't have a pint of Stella in the 'drink' section. So was pretty gutted about that.

The place itself is quite big and the place is quite tidy (well pub 'tidy') and the staff was friendly.

Wether it's just me that doesn't like Wetherspoons I don't know, but it was quite busy.

Nightlife Spot: Broad Street

O'neills is across the road from where I work so it is an easy place to get to for something to eat on the lunchbreak. The food is some fo the besta round and it is dirt cheap (compared to the rest of Broad Street) during the day.

I usually have the O'neills burger and a pint of Stella and that comes upto just under £6.

The burger is £2.95 and comes with a decent amount of chips on the side.

Of a night (especially the main clubbing nights) the place is completely different, you have loud music pumping and it get's RAMMED! It get's that full as soon as you walk in the door that's where you are until you decide to leave.

It can be a good atmosphere but not for the claustrophobic.

Be prepared to have a few drinks spilt on you, up you and down you.
