Flares

A good party atmosphere in here but a bit on the scruffy side. I could never stay in here for longer than a hour as you begin to feel claustrophobic as it is quite dark and windowless. There isnt really any atmosphere and it feels musty and could do with some good air conditioning and a bit of a repaint. Full of young kids who dont look old enough to go out drinking yet but they end up legless and causing a scene. Luckily the bouncers are very good and quickly defuse bad situations by getting shut. The booze is good but not that cheap are even though there are offers on it is never on the stuff i drink so i end up paying full whack. the toilets are disgusting and could do with being ripped out and starting again.

I actually think flares is a fun place to go. Admittedly the bradford one needs to be spruced up as it is very run down and dingy. But, i do think it has a good atmosphere inside that is added to by the psychedelic colours.
Flares is a 60’s themed party bar and obviously they play mostly 60’s music. They do loads of choice of drinks with plenty of deals and promotions to be had. Even without the deals the prices arent really that steep. Its free admission before 11 after which it is quite dear so try to get in before that.
The toilets are in quite a state so they do need sprucing up and true they hardly ever have loo roll.
The staff are actually quite nice and polite and the doorstaff are lovely.

Urgh, I don’t really like flares. It’s sooo cheap and tacky. And this one in Bradford really takes the cake. The clientele, without being rude, are. less than classy. The floor is sticky. The staff are rather rude (apart from the doormen who seem to use Max and Paddy as muses). The loos are dirty and frequently lacking in loo paper. The drinks are suspiciously watery and not particularly cheap. The whole place lackswell, atmosphere.
There are nicer clubs in Bradford just a 30 second walk over the road so I don’t get why people go to flares (actually I do — it’s easy to stumble into if you are drunk and tempted in by drink offers or tarty girls etc).
Personally I’d never go here (and that stands for the one in Leeds too, what a dive) and it’s a shame such an impressive building houses such a minging club when there’s 100 other uses it would befit.
