Most people say Newcastle or London but London seems a tad expensive sometimes.
So yeah a club that plays just chart music stuff, kind of studenty places.
Brighton - OK. I love it here, so i'm a little biased. But it's by far the best place to party. Especially if you like gay clubs
Liverpool - *Shudder* That is all.
Sheffield - More life in a graveyard than those clubs. Not a bad place, but not a party town.
Manchester - Bit rough but very friendly. Canal street is Ok (ish) but normally invaded by hen parties and it has a high % of very bitchy queens.
Nottingham - Not a fan myself. High crime rate. If you like studenty places you might enjoy yourself.
York - Fun, but a bit dead outside of saturday night. Can sometimes be a little bit fight club in the early hours.
Harrogate - So up it's own arse i'm surprised the people can breathe properly. Stunning place to visit but not to rock out.
Birmingham - Meh. Very average nightlife, not worth a trip from scotland.
Bristol - Ahh, brizzle. These people know how to seriously party. Highly recommended.
Blackpool - I'd image it's what brighton would look like after a minor nuclear bombing. Complete with mutated women and everything. Avoid unless you have a kink for chavs.
Leeds - Again, a little rough in the wrong places but if you're a massive binge drinker with cheesy taste in music the queens court is paradise. Overall, good for a laugh.
Bradford - No. Just no.
Hull - See above
Brighton - Did i mention it's fab? Worth saying again. The fact you'll have a increased chance of shagging me makes it worth it alone (kidding, not quite that in love with myself)
Edinburgh - Worth a look. Like they say, glasgow is full of murderers and edinburgh is full of alcoholics. I like the place, it's got a lot of charm.
Newcastle - Meh. Not bad, not good. Just very mediocre.
Cardiff - Bit rough and ready, but very charming. Great place to party, friendly locals, never try to drink any of them under the table and FFS don't punch any drag queens. You never know if it might be a cage fighter.
London (i'll break this one into sections)
Mayfair - Very glam, great if you've got a few grand to spend on drinks, expect to que for hours if you don't know the door dolls.
Soho - Ahh, my old stomping ground, it'll always have a special place in my life as the first place I started going out and getting laid in. If you want gay clubs, here is the place to be. More shallow than other gay villages but the party never stops. If you want to party in london, pretty much the place to be.
Vaxhall - Sleezy? Gay? If your idea of a rave is getting strapped to a sling and fisted by a muscle queen you'll feel right at home.
Shoreditch - Crossed the line from trendy to twaty years ago. Avoid.
Chelsea - By far the highest level of pretentious clubs, not as extortionate as mayfair but still pricey. Cracking place to get papped falling over a minor member of the royal family at 3am. Superb for shopping, but not my favourite place for a night out.
Angel - Lively, but packed to the rafters with knob head young cityboys. Not my idea of fun.
Camden - Second only to Soho. Wild party, be prepared for mind blowing levels of debauchery. Weird and wonderful to the extreme. Very highly recommended if you've got the stomach for it.
Notting Hill - Worth a mention for the notting hill arts club. That place is wicked. Everywhere else, meh.
Brixton - Knows how to party hard, good music, wear a bullet proof vest. Think london's answer to Govan.
Well, that's pretty much all I can be bothered to type - have a good 20th!
Think i will be using this as a guide of where to go, having a bunch of girls who arent the biggest fan of gay clubs may be a hard sell lol
Just as a warning, if you did come to London for the gay bars, G-A-Y is well known for not allowing groups of people with majority girls in to the venue.

Just me, the telly and a bottle of wine. Perfection.
thats not yet part of the UK.
Ive been to Edinburgh and thought it was so dull! Everythings quite far away from each other as well. But that wasnt festival time though.
Seriously? I hate the gay clubs in glasgow, Bennets is seedy and horrid (Though quite good music) and polo has loads of guys that look the exact same
I agree Edinburgh can be awful and it is spread out but if you have a lot of money to spend it's great!
Iv always enjoyed polo but then again iv always been extremely drunk when there haha!
Im not sure how BigRedSam can call brum average when it has more clubs/bars than most cities in the country (bar the obvious ones) including 3 superclubs and Gay village which is another offshoot area with gay bars n clubs. Probably not the best night you will get in the country but I would put it top 5.
Brum nightlife is good - even the suburbs are buzzing. In Kings Heath on June 10th we've got The Source playing the Hare and Hounds, Jul 1st-3rd Moseley Jazz festival with Booker T and the MG's and Gilles Peterson. - and that's before you even reach the ring road - Broad Street,Brindley Place, Mailbox,Summer Row, Arcadian, St Pauls Square, Digbeth/Eastside v happening these days.
Quality, not quantity. I was mostly referring to the pink triangle area, although i've been to a few places outside of it.
I just found it very generic and dull. Everywhere seemed to be lacking that electricity that makes a good party. Not to mention the music, talk about outdated cheese.
If you like it, great. Personally, it wouldn't even make my top 10, perhaps not even top 20.
Blimey. :eek: When I saw the thread title my first thought was of a spinney where someone I know has identified 100 species of moth. Sling/fisting or 100 different kinds of moth? You decide.
Sling please. Leave the silly moths, get yourself down to the hoist. Live a little, perhaps find a hot leather guy (avoid the orange ones, their skin has the consistency of their fetish) to make you his piggy or something...
No sorry I just couldnt do that to you OP lol Breakology in Margate is always good. Ermm thats about it really unless you wanna try Maidstone its not bad for nightlife and has the kind of music you like played in the clubs. Also Canterbury is a very studenty area and you get half price drinks if you have a student card, good places to go clubbing there is The Loft, Alberrys, Bar Bars, Club Kemistry.
