Has anyone been in the bar "Characters" down the harbour? It actually looks quite nice from the outside but being that it's at the harbour it's probasbly full of rapists and stuff. I fancy giving it a look some time.

The for sale/lease signs were up late last week on Ici so if it is to reopen, it will probably be with new management/licencee? Although it would be nice to see those guys getting back their local, as I wouldn't want to run into them anywhere else.

Dunno about that place at the harbour, last time I was dragged down there turned into a distinctly unsettling experience.

Characters and the Neptune are two of the best bars down that end of the harbour

I used to live above Characters (before that it was The Glenlivet). Does look really nice inside, a lot nicer than when it was The Glenlivet, but I never went in because:

A)there looked some dodgers in there that probably wouldn't like me
B)me and some mates once got wasted and started shooting coke bottles off my window ledge, forgetting it was right above the pubs door.
C)Most importantly, The Moorings is 2 minutes up the road.

Had a harbour run a few months back and Characters was one of the best bars down there, along with the Crown and Anchor. Yes, I like The Moorings too, but the crowd I was with weren't interested in live music.

My mate swears that Characters is a gay bar, but I just think he made that assumption because it was "nice" and also they had Eurovision on. Mini tellys on the beer taps too, never seen that before.

So it's official then. I did wonder! Budz has been closed for refurbishment for months!! It was a rather strange place. Went there a couple of times in my naivity in 1st year - new city not sure where to go! Although as with everywhere going with a good bunch of friends and you could actually have a good night!

It'll always be tarred with the chav brush because of where it's situated on Union St regardless of what it becomes... If it becomes anything!
