I've managed to sweet talk the missus into letting me head to my mate's stag weekend next month in Bournemouth. 
DT_Xtremez_28: Never been before and am looking forward to it immensely. But it got me thinking, where are the best nights out in Britain and where are the Goaters favourites? Mine are in order:
1) Liverpool - OK I'm biased, it's my home town, but Scouseland is definitely my personal favourite, especially over the last 10 years or so when most places have smartened themselves up big time. Yes, it can be very studenty and the tourists in Mathew Street are a pain in the a rse, but I've never had a bad night up there and everyone else I've taken up there has loved it. From the trendy Albert Dock bars to the Breckside pub off Walton Breck Road, all tastes are catered for.
2) Camden High Street - Was a regular haunt in my STC days. Saturday afternoon getting off the tube at Camden High Street, walking up as far as Kentish Town and drinking our way back down to the World's End and then finishing in The Backpacker in Kings Cross...ahh, those were the days!
3) Hereford - Maybe it was the impetuousness and naivety of youth, but Hereford (and all of those who were there will agree) was top notch on the lash. The Restoration, Kerry Arms, Booth Hall, SPread Eagle before moving on to the Crystal Room for the Grab-a Toothless Hag games. That was grand...Come on, admit it!
So Goaters, where's best for the bevvy? Indeed, where would you avoid like the plague?
