Bolton Town vs City of Liverpool !!!!

[Sut]

Yeah, its a bit upmarket as you can see but its class. That top end of town is the best bit I reckon.

 

You're a man of taste, WR.

 

Take her The Phil. If you can entice her into the Gents bogs even better. They're a work of art.

 

Virtual bog (without the smell).

Well if you are sightseeing mate, while you're in Hope street you might like to point out that this is the only city in the world with cathedrals at the opposite end of a street, and of different denominations. Now, being a proddy dog, i've only ever been in Paddys Wigwam once, that was for some lad getting made a priest (forget what it's actually called, ordained, is it?), but when I was a kid we were always in the Anglican cathedral, and the graveyard behind it, (aah, Leprechaun hunting, now that was a laugh) it's now a park! The inside of it is fucking fantastic, and it's got the highest and biggest bells in the world. (not sure about the biggest bit, but defo the highest).

There's also William Brown Street, art gallery and museum, and then walk up to London Road and show her the wildlife in some of the pubs up there, especially the Greekie. We took a Geordie mate in there once and he thought it was posh!!!

Met Quarter is good if you want to impress her with your gigantic penis without showing her it. Myself? I just buy shit off eBay for half the price.

That Alma de Cuba place is meant to be smart. Its a bar and restaurant in an old church, still with the altar and everything. Bit pricey but i supoose you get what you pay for. Ive been meaning to go myself sometime, but my uncle who's originally from round here but lives in Edinburgh and a mate of his who is a cockney went last week. Now his mate is some executive or something for a world wide pharmaceuticals company, house on the thames overlooking the London eye, fuckin raking it in. Been everywhere around the world. He was absolutely buzzing off the place, and the city in general. He couldnt get over the skyline. Its been a few years since he's been up and he cant believe how much its changed. To be honest i spend most of my time studying in sheffield now, and its made me realise how lucky we are and how impressive the inner city is nowadays, and its only getting better. So id defo give this place a try. Its just off Slater Street, maybe wood st? Im not sure, but might be worth a visit

I fully agree with ur point on appreciating the City,When I was living in Liverpool (for 27 years),I never really appreciated it,but since I have moved to Bolton its made me realise what an impressive City Liverpool really is,Ive been in Bolton for 7 months now and compared to Liverpool it just seems so small and lifeless

 

Good tip on Alma as well mate !!

St Georges Hall is impressive as you walk out of lime steet and despite all the cranes and new skyscrapers, the view of the city from the ferry is awesome if you want to do touristy bits.

 

Too many museusm and galleries to mention.

 

Plenty of people have given good restaurant recommendations but I'll add that the Korova group who developed and sold Alma de Cuba have opened a couple of other places in the last year, circo on the albert dock and geisha at the side of the philharmonic(used to be the varsity). Both are good, and one other restaurant to recommend is the pan american.

Apparently not - I showed the gents to a couple of female co-workers and they said they felt really let down by the standard of their own WC.
