Flares Nightclubs

The Flares in my home town of Cleethorpes is home to the great musical hits of the 70s. Timeless classic after timeless classic fills the air as the people dance in the great surroundings of the themed building. The facilities are all great and it never seems to be short of seats for those tired legs or dance floor for those legs that can't stop moving. Flares sell most lagers off tap as well as most popular bottled drinks and a great range of cocktails (my favourite being the Cheeky Wimto). The only problem being that these cocktails can often seem extremely pricey, on some nights £8.50 for a large pitcher! They also charge £2 on some nights just to enter! Even though ...  Read the complete review

I went into town a few weeks ago with two friends.'We decided to visit Flares. It was a good few years since we'd been, so we thought it would be interesting. The first thing I noticed when I entered was my feet stuck to the floor. I don't know if this might be intentional on their part to try and stop you from leaving! If so good on them! It shows initiative. The song playing was 'Heart of Glass' by Blondie, which is one of my favourite songs, so it was mixed emotions on first entry. My next review will be on Blondie by the way. I managed to uproot myself from the spot and we headed for the bar. It was just after 11pm and it was about 8 deep in the ...  Read the complete review

If you dont mind your feet sticking to the floor this is definately the pub for you! Only joking (but being a little serious - cleanliness is not their strong point) Flares is an 70s themed pub. There are outlets all over the country in city and town centre locations. Drinks in Flares are pretty cheap as far as town centre pubs go. The quality isnt great but there are usually certain drinks on offer each night. The white wine is horrible and comes in a beaker! Very Strange. Queues vary depending on the time you go. Busiest periods seem to be between 10 and 11pm on a fri and sat night. The music played is mostly cheese and the cliantelle is older ...  Read the complete review

Flares is a chain of themed bars/clubs. Music comes from the 60s, 70s and 80s, with recently a little 90s starting to creep in. The concept is a cheesy, retro bar you can relax and enjoy, without banging bass lines and trendy teeny boppers. My local, Flares in Newcastle, is actually quite small in comparison to other locations, although still has the uniform corporate 'funky' décor. There is always a long queue to get in, and it tends to be quite cramped inside, I think they could really do with new premises! I have also been to the Darlington Flares which is less cramped and stread over two levels, however Flares retain a similarity regardless of location due ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Flares a few times now and overall, they've been good nights. Don't expect to hear any credible good music in Flares, no prizes for guessing it's a 70s themed club, but the music is strictly 70s(ish, they don't always get this bit quite on the money) cheese. Expect the likes of Bees Gees, Grease medleys and the like. Songs you cringe to admit to knowing every word to, but in Flares you're in good company coz everyone belts them out on the dancefloor! It's a fun night out, the places are done up well, with lit up dancefloor, giant models of platform shoes hanging from the ceiling and the like. Drinks are the usual prices for a club, but not too sky ...  Read the complete review
