It’s now full of absolute cunts everywhere getting in people’s way so I decided this year to do it different. Tuesday I’m off to the Xmas markets for a wander and a few beers in town. Without the stress of shopping. Even taking mrs esco as a Xmas treat. She’s honoured. She also doesn’t know I’m out at 12 Xmas eve yet and I’m wanting a lift home so I shall break this news on Tuesday just after I’ve bought her an £8 mulled wine 😊 Used to love going out Christmas eve and showing family up thr next day heaving into my Christmas dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted December 23, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2021 Checking in on this thread with a bad hangover! Thank God Bolton has that “Definitely Maybe” bar (old Bergeracs). I nearly made an early exit after the lifeless experience on Bradshawgate. Definitely Maybe is very good and seems to be the place to head to if you end up in town. Also Good to reminisce (for those in their Late 40s) about the old Bergeracs days - the one place where you could get served underage in the late 80s/early 90s with sticky floors and porn on the TVs 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going next week with a few of the girls. Live music, decent ale and only a small percentage of weirdos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s completely out on a limb at the moment in terms of good places to go in town and like you say the clientele seems unusually ok for Bolton 😂 You’ll have a great night!

ErnestTurnip Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Wife was going shopping yesterday so I told her to get some normal beers that would do for three of us over xmas and in case anyone pops round, suggested a mix of cider/lager/spirits. She came home with 20 x 285ml bottles of Stella. 20 small bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
