My suggestion was actually a hit. I did my indecisive alterego very proud. There are many quality club nights organised by the Lost and Found name and this was no exception. Dance off, being £1 entry, sold it for me. Doubles for £3, a range of sambucas £1.50? Messy. Dance off saw a battle between three major DJs, strangerways, good vibrations and juicy DJs playing a mix of Joy Division, The Temptations and Dr Dre. Amazing combination. Ruby Lounge is renown for it's quality club nights and live music. The venue is perfect, with an adequate dance floor, a stage to match and plenty of seating on a slightly raised level for a chill out. Another great Northern Quarter location that needs to become a regular thing for me.

Well, it wasn't when I was in the Ruby…read moreLounge last night for a Lost and Found gig which is why I felt comfortable to take my boyf in with me. The gig was billed as The Cribs Aftershow but it was basically just a gig- most of the spectators were either in one of the four bands, looked like they should be or were girl groupies who were way too impressed with themselves that they were getting backstage. The sofas and high backed armchairs in the main bar area were nice touches, there were a few mirror balls around too. Plus velvet curtains - hello, strip club? Then you turn to the grimy stage area with the big grill up between the bands and the crowd. That said, no one went past the pillar anyway. Too cool to stand right at the front. Alright drinks prices - get some of their cheap vodka mixers or flavoured sambucas otherwise you'll run out of money quickly. After the bands they had Gareth Brooks from Xfm DJIng but we didn't end up staying.

It is on the same site as old favourite 'J2' but everybody was eager to have a peak at what £700k investment could transform it into! And it most definitely made a big difference for the better! It's now laid out like a proper club, and that starts from the grand entrance that's spacious and open planed, not a cramped up little box like with J2. Inside everywhere has had much needed lick of paint and they have transformed what was the main club room by knocking down the walls to the next and opening up the space brilliantly. The only negatives from my first experience here is that the top 2 floors (there are 4) only accept cash not card - which in 2015 is pretty annoying! Other than that, a very welcome addition to the Bolton nightlife scene and a vastly improved option for club goers in the north west!

The drinks are reasonably priced and with cheaper admission prices before certain times it doesn't have to break the bank. There is often entertaiment provided by the DJs before the main night kicks off and events and fancy dress is also a regular feature. The main Squires nightclub plays all your mainstream chart kind of music, with New York New York a must for those into cheesy and older music with its flashing multicoloured dancefloor a nice touch. With the club being located underground however, the mobile phone signal can be hit and miss.

The bar staff at Squires tend not to observe even a vague queuing system at any of the bars. If you do eventually get served don't expect to get a full measure of spirit or a real glass for your drink, any social niceties from the staff or the drinks advertised at the bar to actually be available. You can also expect vomit in the corners of the VIP lounge, regular fights and spectacularly disgusting toilets. You have been warned!

Then at weekends all hands are on deck as the club comes alive. Rififi has two floors. The first floor is separated in two with the lounge at the front and later the room opens up further to the RnB room. Upstairs is the Dance room with two separate bars and is huge! What is good is that you have choice and a nice open deck area to sit and relax and not get rain on! The club is modern, stylish and cosy and is always busy so you know that it is doing something right. This is the club I go to and also celebrities such as Hollyoaks stars to Britains Got Talents Auditionees and X Factor contestants. You don't want to miss out on this place.

Not all books should be judged by their covers though, and this is especially true for Mint Lounge. You'll often find a queue outside Mint Lounge on the weekends, revellers eagerly anticipating a night of soul, funk, jazz and electric disco. There's a couple of bar rooms and a main dance floor which gives off an underground vibe. They also have live bands playing here and the entry prices are reasonable - from £4-7 depending on the night and how early you arrive. Although I have to agree with James that 'Nish Nash Nosh' was a tragic loss, I do love Funkademia equally.

Expect a mix of the glamorous, fun loving, music loving cool kids in this place. Those who I seem to be able to always knock back a bit of random conversation with. The two club nights are Clique on a Friday and Funkademia on a Saturday both come recommended. Clique has been described as "Manchester's 21st Century disotheque playing alternative dance, electropop and digital disco" and has been voted Manchester's best club night many a times by the MEN. Funkademia, as you can probably guess, is more about the soul, funk and grooves. Mint Lounge has been accredited by Mix Mag as one of the COUNTRY's top ten clubs (2007). Not even just in Manchester. I'm not sure about that, for purely the bathroom situation. I'm just not a fan of checking out my shine in front of the bloke I had my eye on, or coming out of a loo along with a trail of toilet paper to find a mass of men and women trying not to smirk at me. It's bad enough in the girl's only toilets. I quickly get over this slight glitch and frequent the place more often than any other of Manchester's offerings I must admit. Watch out for special nights and guest djs, Hot Chip recently made an appearance, was tres bon to say the least.
