    Opening a nice chinese restaurant next to a chavvy nightclub - FAIL



    I took this photo next to a crappy nightclub, formerly Chicago Rock Cafe, in Basingstoke.
    Bad location.

    Nightclubs don't usually start warming up until after kicking out time in the pubs. So unless that club has free entry before 9pm or something, I doubt you'd see too many chavs and chavettes staggering about vomiting and fighting until later in the evening after the restaurant has closed.

            chicago rock was full of old mingers....
            ....keen they were, never went in there without some sort of experience.

            is basingstoke town centre reaaaaally crap now

            it was bad 3 or 4 years ago, bad in terms of ugly people, bad music, and under patronised etc but tame enough...

            I was considering living there is it offers biggest bang for buck house price wise within a tolerable london commute plus has a lot of business in the area in its own right...

            cross it off the list now?

                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  That down by Festival Place?

                  I had to stay in Basingstoke for several months on a contract once. Never again. Couldn't wait to get home.

                    It's at the top of town near old Town Centre. I liked Basingstoke, except for the night life. Had everything I needed to get by every day. Including Poker on a regular basis.
                    If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
