We are visiting Shrewsbury next weekend and are wondering where to go out at night.Have already booked Drakers Hall(sat) but would like a dance afterwards or maybe some live music.Any ideas ,would be greatly appreciated.Looking forward to our first visit. :blink:

hello

welcome to the forum.

what age group are you in ? different clubs for different ages.

do you know where abouts you are staying?

s.g.d.

we are late 30s , young 40 somethings.Like 80s music and my hubby loves punk( anything really, would like somewhere with a great atmosphere).We are staying at the wetherspoons cheap and cheeful lodge.I find them great value for money.Any ideas, thanks jo

hello again

Liquid and Diva are the main two in town - Liquid is for over 25's.they are next to each other and about 5mins walk.

just around the corner from Wetherspoons is Flares where the music is mainly 70's and 80's.

s.g.d.

Diva Is the best place for your ages. Bar-med have free pogo-sticking. I doubt you'll get anywhere 'punky' in Shrewsbury though unless Martin Childs from 'The Severn'106.5 is featuring ! :P

thanks for the replies.
to be honest , most of the pubs in Shrewsbury look great anyway.
We're looking forward to a great weekend of shops,good food and oh, the occasional pub ofcourse.
thanks again, will let you know what we thought of your town.jo ;)

there are a few pubs to choose from:

I love that website. :)

Liquid is now over 18's,the same as Diva, and costs upto 8 pounds depending on what time you get in,personally I would give them both a miss.

s.g.d.

Liquid + Diva = Hell on earth.

C21 in Abbeyforgate is quite a cosmopolitan way to end your evening. It is open till 3am.

:P Cosmopolitan thats a new one!

;) It's really not that gay these days. Monday nights are very gay. We went once on a Monday and it was a really fun night.

C21 sounds promising , i like something a bit different.
Liquid and Diva sound as though they are a bit 'cheesy/meat market' we have alot of those places where we come from (Up north)
Thanks for all your comments . will report back. if my hangover doesnt last too long.

Hi all my first post on here but i have been an observer for a while now. I dont want to come across as a promoter on here but as you are seeking live music, the band i am in are playing in the swan in frankwell this friday from 9pm. We just play covers with a full live band with songs ranging from the jam, beatles, girls aloud, the killers, arctic monkeys, kaiser chiefs and the police.

Just an idea for you all.

Hello, - mmm sounds interesting. Now if any of you also look like Girls Aloud, I'll definately be there!
