A Night Out In Bristol

If you're in Bristol on a weekday evening and 0.wish a lively, boozy night out without getting too badly off you could do worse than to try Fandangos, the new nightclub complex on Lower Guzzlemore Street. Before eleven o'clock, prices are quite and you can get a of four drinks for around a tenner. If like me, you're a bit of a it could even set you back less than that. But for the heavyweights, more often than , they run some kind of drinking competition at some point in the evening. On the evening I visited they were offering a free pint to anyone who could their first pint in one' guaranteed to leave even the most hardened heavyweight with a the next day. On most nights, the dress is fairly relaxed although they do seem to draw the line at torn jeans.

If, on the other hand, you're looking to away from it all and enjoy a quiet beer or two in somewhere a little more off the track, The Pickwick Brewery Tap on Regents Muse might be more to your liking. Despite the rather unoriginal name, this charming little pub is not the fake tourist that you might expect. Most nights the other customers are nearly all locals and regulars but from they do get bus loads of pensioners taking over the place for an hour or two in the late afternoon.
