Salford Quays can be a stunning place to wander on a summer's evening. Admittedly it's something…read moreI've never really done until a friend of mine moved here recently but I'm glad I did. It was whilst on one of these walks I discovered Reflexion Shisha Lounge. The lounge is extremely well run and the interior is immaculate. A posher version of Rusholme's Shisha cafe offerings is how I'd probably describe it. The Scene Indian kitchen shisha terrace probably gives it a run for its money but I think Reflexion wins out, just! The quality of the shisha is very good and despite it being a tad more expensive, given the waterside views is worthwhile. As well as Shisha they also have an extensive F&B menu although it's diffficult to see anyone venturing here for that alone if you're not into shisha. This place has definately given me more of a reason to explore what this locale has to offer.

Nicely situated just outside of Oldham town centre and approx 100yrds from Oldham central tram stop this well presented family run bistro is outstanding! The very second you enter your greeted by the head of the Bissolati family, Paolo! His warm welcome and cheeky charm for the ladies and flamboyant men will have you chuckling in minuets! Shortly after being seated Paolo will always head over and ask how you are and what you've recently been up to whilst hinting and suggesting his favourite dishes! You can not visit The Old bill without starting your meal off with the sexy garlic mushrooms as a starter! Words can't start to describe the taste the second they hit your palette (and I'm not being rude here) :P For main wether it's, pasta, pizza, chicken, lamb or stake you want the flavours of every dish will leave you wanting to come back the very next evening for more! The English Cuisine with and Italian twist to it will keep you firmly in your seat! Dessert and or coffee is a treat for the eyes, that's if you've room for dessert after your meal... Paolo offers an early bird menu at The Old Bill! Also due to it's popularity, often services on a weekend night are split into two! Book early if you plan to come and not a few nights before hand :)

Also if you want a private venue for birthdays or party celebrations then this should be looked at. The place is spectacular.

The restaurant is also something ti be tested as it is fabulous. It is an Italian cuisine and has some fantastic meals. Take a look at their website for more information.

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.

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.

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.
