Beelzebubs local. If this was the only pub/club left on earth I would stop drinking. Filled with a sense of impending violence. Keep your eyes to the floor or you will be accused of "Looking at my boirrrrrrd" Give it a wide berth.

Oh not forgetting: DJ ANDY who plays downstairs in Jesters. Was playing in Harry Tates whilst Jesters was doing the refurb. Lovely guy. Chatted to him on numerous occasions, and always puts the requests on asap. PLays a bit of everything, and if you after the hardcore dance music, then trot upstairs in Jesters.

JESTERS HAS BEEN REFURBISHED---HARRY TATES IS NOW BAR JESTERS-----MORE STAFF ON AS WELL.

Well, I have to profusely apologise. After my last comment, I decided to try Jesters out. I have to admit I am now addicted to the place.

I go at least once a week, because all the staff are now friends of mine, even the bouncers. Extremely friendly atmosphere, and if you know any staff, it's like walking into a family heirloom. The staff are extremely lovely, bar maids/glass collectors and all. Jesters has a reputation for being full of matlows, chavs etc BULLSHIT. I have some friends that walk into this place as a preference, that are on over a £1000 a month, having to pay nominal rent cos they still live at home. So technically they could go to richest, most luxerious, most expensive place in town.... but they choose to come to Harry Tates and Jesters. Need I say more?

I also know alot of uni students that come in too.

Onto the fights that Jester's is supposedly notorious for:

Head Bouncer Tim, Carl, Darren (also manager of Harry Tates), Richie, Mark etc never uneccessarily kick anyone out of the club. The reason they kick people out when they do have to at a small sign of trouble, is to minimise any disruption and destruction to the rest of us, that would obviously happen if they just had a little telling off, so the troublemakers can carry on in there, going up to the bar, drinkin more booze to fuel the situation even more.

The drinks in my opinion are actually dirt cheap. I'd like to know anywhere else I could get a Jack Daniels and coke for less than £2.10?
The Owner: Gill----- is fab too, so are her sons who own Harry Tates and Jesters too.

Overall, I would quite happily call Jesters and Harry Tates, my locals. Is the first stop when I go out: ALWAYS. Most of time, I spend all night (till they shut) running between Harry Tates and Jesters, to talk to mates that I've made through going there.
