'The Bomber' is a good hangout apparently, lots of 'explosive' action and 'kamikazee' shots.

Is the nightlife close together or spread out?

Last time I went out in Lancaster, it was a cracking night.

I have absolutely no idea where we went though (sorry! - told you it was a good night ). We just went round a few bars and ended up in a club.

Are the bars fairly close together - or in a particular area or are they spread out

lancaster is quite a good night out. full of students so theres plenty of night life must admit its been quite a while since ive been there. the studet club was called the sugarhouse, theres plenty of bars, from what i can remember there close together, must be about 7-8 years since the last time i went out there, though some friends have been more recently, but said it was still a good night out

From a born and bred Lancaster lad - trust me, for the size of the city (yes believe it or not it is a city) it is a cracking night out. Been a while since I have had a night out their but as already mentioned their is a huge student population which has resulted in a massive growth in pubs and clubs.

Don't be tempted to try Morecambe for a night out - the place has gone down hill in a big way! If your going in the scoob get up to Devils bridge at Kirby Lonsdale, nice drive out and Bike heaven when you reach the bridge - might not be that busy this time of year but a good drive out either way.

Very good Thai restaurant near to the train station, Verdes is a Good Italian on Church St, If you want decent steak / traditional food try the Blue Mountain in Morecambe on Marine Rd East.

Other than that a great location for exploring the surrounding countryside including the Lake district.

If you are into photography try Morecambe or heysham on the sea front for really good sunrises / sunsets. Williamson Park in Lancaster is very good also for views of the local area.

It was a while ago, so I'm not really sure.

We were "well oiled" to say the least so we probably covered about two and a half times the actual distance between the bars anyway.

Students... ah yes, now you mention it, I do seem to remember getting to grips with an attractive and particularly well stacked young blonde at some point in the evening

As mentioned... if you are in the scoob...try and make time for blast from devils bridge ( kirkby lonsdale ) to Sedbergh... soon to be the road i drive to work and back everyday...god i cant wait lol... you can then link back to the M6 and run back to lancaster if required.

As said,,,lancaster is certianly a great town for a night out..

Cheers

Lancaster is a good night out. Not far to walk between pubs and bars whatsoever! I couldnt single out a single venue as being brilliant to goto though. Revolution does it for me these days, although it is nothing special
