Loads of pubs on the "welley road" and at the end of it you will find urban tiger a club for men (need i say any more) with lots of nice thinks to look at but the drinks are very expensive.

In the main Town Centre there are loads of bars.

My personal favourites are BN's (opposite the snooker club & Revolution), very good atmosphere and decor......... and yes, loads of women!

Edwards is good too........ and dare I say it, Chicagos in Northampton is also a very good crack. The other thing you'll see is hen parties......... loads of 'em, all dressed up, most of them seem to favour dressing as police women! lol

Have fun!

I live in Northampton, but to honest I really really like going to Milton Keynes Theatre District with my friends rather over a night out in Northampton I really love it, loads of top women, loads of pubs in spitting distance, and I think it's alright and a bit posher that Northampton

Having said that Northampton is improving! Fat Cat is alright at the end of the evening because it serves upto 2:00 i think Rat and Parot is alright although a little quiet now, Moon on the Square is ok, although it's a Weather Spoons so there is no tunes. The Goose is good for cheap drinks, although again there is no tunes I think! Time and Envy (or Toilet Entry, as known by my mates ) is good for pulling jail bate, apart from student night Wednesdays!!

Get a taxi and go to Miltonkeynes Theatre district and finish off in Oceanarna night club, thats a good night out

Aint it funny that MK peeps prefer N'Hampton, and N'Hampton peeps prefer MK. You're not the first person ive heard from N'Hampton say that.

A taxi aint exactly cheap over to MK tho, and to be honest I find the atmosphere much better in N'Hampton, far too much attitute in MK and the doormen all have something to prove.

Oceana is a rip off, Mood is probably better priced, but its cheaper in Northampton full stop

MK sno dome KFC at 2.30 am - its like something out of a war film!!

As someone frequenting both MK and Npton fairly frequently I can say that for me Npton is the better night, Yate's / Revs / Decadance / Rat n Parrot all OK, Visage, er I mean Time n Envy is ok too! - I was VERY violently sick all over the dance floor in there once!!

MK is a bit strange really, lot of attitude in the air but less walking as all pubs are concentrated in one place! - dead expensive tho as mentioned!!

Have a good nite mate!!

Urban Tiger still hasn't re-opened has it??

Personally I prefer MK as there are no decent clubs in Northampton!!!! But thats besides the point!

(Although i've not been to time and Envy as that never seemed to be open any night I went down!!)

Billy, we always went Lloyds (top of the high street on our way into town), then down to Bridge street for Fat Cats and Revolutions etc, the to The Lounge (is it re-opened yet? not sure what its like now, used to be a dive, but a funny one!!)
