Re: Aviemore Nightlife?!
Date Posted: 19.53hrs on Wed 17 Mar 10
ah fond memories, it all ended when i got hitched!
Not been to Two Hoots (behind the winky). Heard pretty good things. The Vault under the bank can be mixed as you say, but usually ok. I think the clubs can go till 3am though you do have to be in the door before 11.45pm (or maybe midnight, cant remember).
A few terrific pubs to choose from, and in theory they can open late each night I think, but only avail of this at weekends (think it's 12.30 or 1am)
Cairn probably best craic in town, Old Bridge, Winky, Doo Below (under skiing doo restaurant), Mackenzies (these would be listed in order of preference more or less). Other good food spots are the Royal Tandoori, La Taverna, Roos Leap, International Starters
Mambos (beside ellis-brigham) ok for food though wouldnt be first choice, and can be hit and miss for night life, but when it's busy and there's band or dj on it's good craic, might be a good option for an apres night - after dinner somewhere else (thursdays and saturdays tend to be good busy nights, friday hit and miss bizarrely). Tends to be a younger crowd and gets the "new school" type skier and boarders, along with a few crusty locals naturally
you could do worse than an aperitif in the old bridge, a feed in Royal Tandoori or La Taverna, a few liveners in the Cairn for a bit of banter, accross to Mambos to start ramping things up (pitchers of cocktails and all that jazz), then ride it out there or head for the vault or two hoots (mass exodus from Mamabos to get into the clubs in time so the last hour can be either dead and they'll shoo you out to close up or it can be just nicely quietened down to have a few nightcaps and stories before bedtime)
have at it
Barry
