Brussels is on a lockdown.

It reminded me: We in the uk always think of belgium as "boring". Brussels is fantastic: 24 hour bars plus great beer on tap, versus here with sh*t licensing and a half of Old Corbyn's Knee Trembler.

If I had 7 days to live and the choice, I'd put Brussels above pretty much any UK city. Apart from Scunthorpe of course.

Or Newham.

Been a while since I was in Belgium. Visited it prior to going to the WC in Germany in 74.
Spent four days there and the night life was superb.

Ostend was pretty special as well.

That sounds like a jihadi recruiting slogan...

Bradford is pleasant on a wintry night.

Been a while since I've been out in Bradford, but it was a horrible night out in my opinion. Only a tiny pocket ever really worth visiting. Plenty more places in West Yorkshire a better night out, some less than fashionable, like Leeds, Huddersfield, Otley, or within Bradford city confines itself Saltaire, Baildon.

In general anywhere with a decent student population will be a decent night out.

Budapest I hear is very good.

Berlin is a supreme night out, but then I guess one would associate it with just that.

Bradford has, apparently, improved as a night out and I may get to sample its delights this weekend.  Haven't been out there in over ten years now, as it was only useful as a place to go drinking underage until Leeds was more accessible (and affordable). 

Saltaire is shoite unless you spend all night in Fanny's.  Otley is decent, but can be overrun with juankerr students playing pub golf and going out in fancy dress while shouting about how zany they are.
