Depends what you want!
Preston has something for everyone. Some of my fave places...

Reflex - 80's bar with dance poles
Revolution - Russion vodka bar with shots in every flavour and colour!
Assembly - nice atmosphere and pool tables
Greyfriars - wetherspoons
Squares - cocktail bar
Browns - if you like RnB

Club wise
Warehouse - Rock and indie - excellent!
Roper - Student club really with chart and some indie
Squires - more sophisticated I suppose but music is chart dance usually
Tokes - teenie boppers, stear clear

There are tonnes of places I could list really. Majority are all down the main street though so pretty easy to find!

I'm just dying to know the derivation of this word.

Reminds me when after a very boozy evening, a friend and I decided to have a competition to make up the ruding sounding word. Very amusing at the time.

I imagine the G may be for gut, but as for the rest...

Exactly, the bit between your gut and your .
Perfectly sensible word if you ask me.

great,thats us sorted then.
I think I've tried to go to revolution before,but the queue was 45 mins.Might try and tough it out if its a premier night spot.

Just as a back up,any 'definite meat markets' we can pencil in,not my choice of course,for my guests.

thanks

You're probably right. I only went in once and have refused to go back! Cost £12 to get in and have a 34 year old woman try and pick a fight with me, neadless to say she ran off without any fistycuffs.

Best place to go in Preston/ The railway station to get a train to Manchester or Leeds!

Wonder how popular the Withy trees near Sharoe Green hospital is these days? used to be a seething mass of nurses and students in my day...

I'd have to agree with Lois, but i'll add...

Loft - Owned by a friend, had to recommend it really, it is quite classy, attracts similar clientelle
Voodoo Lounge - Chilled downstairs, dj upstairs
Yates - The Aussies may have heard of this...?
Cafe Manyana - Popular, gets a bit warm downstairs

Club wise, i would only add...
The Mill - if you like Student Goths/Punks etc?
