It's hard work mate, I can't think of one place I'd want to go in town anymore.

Usually just go the foreign beer pubs with my mate, such as Bar Fringe and Port St Beer House.

Also will pick some random choices from the good pub guide online and make a bit of a magical mystery tour route around the city.
 
When there's no students around town is dead throughout the week. people can't afford to go out much at the minute so most wait until the weekend. You'll find most places still rammed on a Saturday.
 
I'm seen out in Manchester as often as Lord Lucan now but see a ghost town when I'm staying over for a home match. We just tend to have a couple of Pints in the Hotel Bar afterwards. The Pubs are too depressing and you daren't talk to avoid making noise.
 
Rates are extortionate so not viable anymore - only way to run them was as a limited company but creditors have wised up, as have the councils, basically everything up front or no go!!!
 
Mrs was out with work last night around Deansgate and Spinningfields, she said the only place that was busy was 'The Liars' club, but she said because it's so small she couldn't really tell, Tricky Trev was in there though with a load of 'hangers-on' apparently.
 
Think every major City in the country is the same mate.
Glasgow's busy nights seem to be a Thusday & Saturday now.
Friday's are fukn dead.
As someone said £4 for a bottle of beer you can get for about 50-60p in the supermarket don't help either.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:11 pm --<br /><br />Think every major City in the country is the same mate.

Even during term time the city centre is dead during the week, a couple of times after mid week games we have went for a pint and found that nowhere is open apart from a couple of the upmarket hotels with their upmarket prices and the residents only admission policy (which we often manage to "negotiate"
Now when staying over we will normally check the residents bar policy where we are staying and if not satisfied have a few tins in the room for after the game (though have stayed up quite late in a few hotels)
 
Who can afford to go out nowadays ?. I'd rather have a drink in the house with my mates or a drink outside on the street with all my neighbours tbh

I have lovely neighbours and every once in a while when the weather is nice we will sit in the garden and have a glass of wine and a natter. We all look out for each other and get on well.

Cheeky
 
Pubs and bars in the 80's were always dead.

The boom of the 90's expanded the number of bars but Manchester has gone back to how it was IMO.
 
Smithfield does £2 a pint of guest ales on matchdays, normally fairly busy. Shambles has been rammed most nights too.
