    by kayleigh06, 1 more photos
    Broad Street is a one (long- especially when you've had a drink) road jam-packed with clubs, bars, casino's, strip clubs, a cinema, hotels & places to eat.

    This area is mainly aimed towards adults and most of the bars & clubs you have to be over 18 to get in (but the odd few you have to be 21).


    Every place is different, most places say no trainers or hats, but other than that depending on where you want to go depends on the dress code.

    See my other nightlife tips for a club to club guide of Broad Street (work in progress).

    Broad Street: The Brasshouse

  • The Brasshouse is a pub on Broad Street and on the outskirts of Brindley Place. It over looks the canal and Symphony Hall with seats outside where you can relax with a pint (of Stella in my case) and have something to eat if you wish.

    I remember coming in here when I was younger for someone's Birthday party on a Friday night, after a certain time it practically tunred into a nightclub. It has a good atmosphere about it both day and night any day of the week.

    Can't comment on the food, but the beer (Stella) is of a good price and the barstaff are very friendly, I've never had no problem with any of them so far.

    If you're lucky you might catch me in here on a weekday between 12-1 on my lunch break with a stella in one hand and some kind of food in the other!! If you do see me come over and say 'ello :-)

    During the daytime, anything goes seen builders, business men/women, tourists, shoppers, skaters all sorts.

    On the evenings a stricter dress code is mandatory, otherwise they won't let you.

    Broad Street: The Figure of Eight

  • This is a bar situated on Broad Street across the road from where I work, I went there for the first time last week.

    Never had been in there before as it's a Wetherspoons pub. I don't like them. They are far to quiet for me, as they don't play any music in any of them, but this was a (special) one of as someone was leaving from work.

    The prices wasn't to bad, you can buy a 'burger and drink' meal for £4.25. The price wasn't to bad as I said, but the meal was sh**e and they didn't have a pint of Stella in the 'drink' section. So was pretty gutted about that.

    The place itself is quite big and the place is quite tidy (well pub 'tidy') and the staff was friendly.

    Wether it's just me that doesn't like Wetherspoons I don't know, but it was quite busy.

    The dresscode is same as most places, daytime more or less anything goes, nights a strict dress code is enforced.

    Broad Street: O'Neills
  • Tip Rating:

  • O'neills is across the road from where I work so it is an easy place to get to for something to eat on the lunchbreak. The food is some fo the besta round and it is dirt cheap (compared to the rest of Broad Street) during the day.

    I usually have the O'neills burger and a pint of Stella and that comes upto just under £6.

    The burger is £2.95 and comes with a decent amount of chips on the side.

    Of a night (especially the main clubbing nights) the place is completely different, you have loud music pumping and it get's RAMMED! It get's that full as soon as you walk in the door that's where you are until you decide to leave.

    It can be a good atmosphere but not for the claustrophobic.

    Be prepared to have a few drinks spilt on you, up you and down you.

    During the day anything goes.

    Of an evening standard dress code for a club/bar. There are bouncers on the door so you won't get away with wearing trainers or anything that isn't acceptable.

    This bar rocks. Some of the latest banging dance tunes are played here and it tells as this place gets rammed. Don't visit here if your claustrophobic.

    There are several rooms in this bar to suit your mood. There is a main room with the latest tunes and in house dancers on the bar. Or if you feel like a conversation you could always try one of the smaller quieter rooms.

    Smart casual

  • If its nightlife your after you can't fail to find something that appeals to you in Broad Street. With over 40 Bars, Clubs & Restuarants there really is something for everyone. Rock music, Dance music, Comedy, Casinos, Lap Dancing Bars, etc etc

    The majority of Bars and Clubs require a smart dress code - eg no trainers or blue jeans.
