little whitt Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 My experience was 76 til 80. Was a cracking night out then. Town was buzzing fri sat & sun from 12:00 til 02:00. Catered for everyone. Swan corner wasn't that bad, good sport imo. Chippys were magic once the pubs closed. Thing is everyone tipped out at 7pm sharp, no fuckin need for pre drinks crap! see im old school out at 7 power drink till last orders at 11 home pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not been out in Bolton since my leaving drinks from work. It was always a shite place but enough beer and good mates make any place fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Need more classy establishments like Bergerac's circa 97 to draw the chic clientele back to the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted October 24, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2015 Used to like that private room at the back There was a bottle of absinthe in there one evening. It ended with one of our group asleep in his bath having utterly shit himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no balls Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Spaz, why don't you have a back to the old temple do at your gaff next Saturday? It's a winning idea imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Not seen the Crown & Flicknife mentioned!!! Great bar/pub/club. Thursday night karaoke - followed by a real struggle on Friday morning at work until we finished at lunch time and spilled into the Alma or Clarence. Whatever happened to finishing early on a Friday?

leigh white Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 When you was a teenager round Bolton, you never bothered about the way the town looked, it was just a drinking spree with the pubs and clubs on offer, I would never venture past Four Lane Ends now after dark.

Burndens Bogs Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) No mention of Swannies? I arranged the opening and running of Swannies before moving to the Wirral I knew a coupla lads on the door at Swannies from the early days,Johnny Brads & Big Joe Hubbard (Rip) The latter lost an ear in an incident in there iirc. Bouncers were firm but fair in those days and drugs were almost none existent in town,although eager trollops & cheap booze were plentiful. Whilst we're on the subject of ears & The Swan, a mate of mine (Roy Hartles son) got his ear sliced off in The Swan by an Everton fan with a glass before our League cup semi against them in 1977, luckily enough the Docs managed to stitch it back on.
