Diary Saturday 31st December - New Years Eve

Preston, England
December 31, 2016 3:12pm CST
Less than three hours to a whole new calendar, and after a whole day online I decided to come out to a bar to see in 2017. The Adelphi in Preston is a popular student bar and unlike many pubs, not charging an admission fee even with live bands and very loud DJ's on. Being old enough to be most people's dad here I'm sitting quietly in a corner with real ale and free wifi. Thank you to everyone on Mylot for reads, comments, etc and your support when life has not been so great. Hope everyone has a great night, January and the whole of 2017 - cheers folks Arthur Chappell

Back when we were younger only clubs charged admission on New Year's Eve. The concept of charging regular customers to come in and buy a drink is outrageous.

it is extortion, this bar is free but the music is so atrocious and loud I may move on anyway

@arthurchappell At least they have the decency to treat their customers fairly.

@arthurchappell At least that is preferable to being charged admission.

A bar that doesn't charge a cover is a good bar indeed.

And a very happy New Year to you too Arthur. I guess it's been a pretty turbulent year for you in some ways so I hope 2017 is an improvement.
