If you’re not impressed by that let us tell you that the bar-area in Swansea stretches for more than one mile. Staggering fact, and trust us, you can find a bar that suits you right here. If you are not a fan of the coast, worry not. The city center offers plenty in terms of bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. If you are not ready to leave the urban area that’s all right but trust us, you don’t want to miss the famed Mumbles Mile. Yes, we know, Wales isn’t the first association when you think nightlife in the UK, but this is where we would start our British adventure if we were you.

It is to be expected that the hometown of Oasis has a thing or two to offer in terms of nightlife. The city is filled with youth, and you can follow any stream of the youngsters in the city to one of the best bars to spend the night at. Manchester has a massive music history and as such, it is the ideal place to seek the best parties that last till morning in this capital of the industry. Drinking and dancing is a must in Manchester, and staying in one of their fancy hotels will suit you or anyone well. Of course, as is usually the case with the UK cities, do not miss their famous pubs the most famous of which are The Waldorf and Sinclair’s Oyster Bar. After paying a visit to these two places we’re sure you’ll be also looking for services from BabylonGirls.
3. Brighton
Brighton is yet another city in the UK that can brag about its seaside. If you ever visit you’ll fall in love with this area. This place is well known as the gay capital of the United Kingdom, which means there’s plenty on the nightlife scene to see. The beach is full of pubs and clubs, both regular and those aimed at the LGBT population. Whichever you choose you won’t make a mistake as there’s no discrimination in Brighton. Live music, which is brilliant in Brighton should be a part of your stay there as a part of the night out. The city is often described as friendly, with many vibrant spots worth visiting.
4. Stoke
This brilliant place has long been known as a football fortress. The question will remain forever if Lionel Messi could score a goal on a rainy night in Stoke. Guess we’ll never know. What we do know with certainty is that Stoke is an amazing place for going out during any night. It has a bit for everyone, regardless of whether you like pubs, bars, or clubs. Most places are not too far from the best local hotels, which is good to know if you are visiting as a tourist.
The best spots are located at the famed town center called Newcastle-under-Lyme. If you’re looking for some places to be recommended by us we can point you in the direction of Bridge Street Ale House, The Old Brown Jug, and The Lymestone Vaults. If you are more of a bar and club type of person, then head straight to Thirsty Giraffe and Revolution, or simply spend the night in The Sugarmill.
5. Sheffield
Not as popular as some of the cities on this list, but one that offers quite the time if you’re up for it. Of course, this is not a popularity contest, but an evaluation of nightlife in the UK cities. You’ll notice there’s no London on our list. Everyone knows it’s good in London, and now it’s time to know just how good it is in Sheffield. This city is the home of two football clubs, Wednesday and United, but we’re not talking about them. But, trust us when we tell you, their fans know how to party. It is not so hard to do it in Sheffield as the city is filled with clubs, pubs, bars, and restaurants. Regardless of your age, this city has plenty to offer in every department for everyone’s pocket.
The places for a perfect night out can be found all over the place. There are those further from the city center such as Kelham Island or Ecclesall Road. But, you should know that the real deal is still close to the City Centre. The best part is that even the center is divided into three parts all of which offer a unique experience. If you want to experience everything in Sheffield be sure to cross the roads between West Street, Carver Street, and Division Street. If this is not enough for you, we recommend that you end your stay by visiting one of the bars and restaurants on Leopold Square.
