  • Youth Culture and Nightlife in Bristol
    Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol A report by: Meg Aubrey Paul Chatterton Robert Hollands Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy University of Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK In 1982 there were pubs and a smattering of (God help us) cocktail bars. The middle-aged middle classes drank in wine bars. By 1992 there were theme pubs and theme bars, many of them dumping their old traditional names in favour of ‘humorous’ names like The Slug and Lettuce, The Spaceman and Chips or the Pestilence and Sausages (actually we’ve made the last two up). In 2001 we have a fair few pubs left, but the big news is bars, bright, shiny chic places which are designed to appeal to women rather more than blokes with swelling guts. In 1982 they shut in the afternoons and at 11pm weekdays and 10.30pm Sundays. In 2001 most drinking places open all day and many late into the night as well. In 1982 we had Whiteladies Road and in 2001 we have The Strip (Eugene Byrne, Venue Magazine July, 2001 p23). Bristol has suddenly become this cosmopolitan Paris of the South West. That is the aspiration of the council anyhow. For years it was a very boring provincial city to live in and that’s why the music that’s come out of it is so exciting. Cos it’s the product of people doing it for themselves. That’s a real punk-rock ethic. (Ian, music goer, Bristol). Contents Contents 2 List of Tables 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1.
