Comments on: Black Sheep Bar closure: Does Croydon need clubbing or housing? https://thecroydoncitizen.com/economics-business/black-sheep-bar-croydon-clubbing-housing/ Comment, analysis & opinion Fri, 28 Sep 2018 21:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jamie https://thecroydoncitizen.com/economics-business/black-sheep-bar-croydon-clubbing-housing/#comment-1237 Jamie Wed, 27 Nov 2013 08:14:00 +0000 http://thecroydoncitizen.com/?p=12334#comment-1237 I could see the practical reasons for the town's nightlife being zoned into one main strip, but would love it if instead, there could be a spreading of venues across the town, so there were decent clubs to be found in Broad Green, Thornton Heath, Croydon High Street/South End, etc. Probably not realistic but it would add to appeal of the area and, imo, increase the likelihood of greater variety being offered. The area around Tiger Tiger and Yates looks like an episode of one of those Brits Abroad programmes. Fine for its target audience, but unappealing to many others.

When I was in my early 20s I went dancing three nights a week in Buenos Aires, where nightlife is everywhere. Went to bed in the early hours with two alarm clocks (each inside a tin can to make them rattle) in order to get me up for work the next day. Nightlife is so important.
