    Default The Waterfront

    i think the waterfront is a lot better nowadays,
    LESS underagers and a lot better DJ who plays recent tunes rather than last years music and at a fiver every saturday night even if it is a band makes it better Value than Skinandies.

    I think the DJ is alot better in the waterfront too.

    Skinandis DJ is rubbish.
    Can you remember before Skinandis it was Eve's.
    Now that DJ in there was good but cannot remember his name.
    Skinandis should get him to make a comeback. Does anyone know his name?

    I thought it was Flicks.

    DJ used to be Charlie McFadyen a long time ago.

    I think the waterfront is a dreadful place to go. I played with my band there last night and the place was just a dive. the place lacked atmosphere, the sound system was abismal, there was no bouncers by the stage to stop folk gettin on stage when they shouldnt be. I dont know what is considered busy in wick but give me skinandis anyday.

    A fiver to get in the place doesnt open till 12. Then the last time i was in 2 weeks ago the music stoped and lights came on at 1:50 . where is the value in that .
    Atleast in Skinandies it opens early and shuts at 2:30

    i think the waterfront and skins is poor its the same folk out week in week out same crack every time and nothing seems make the place any more worth going to, i mean come on £5 for two hours then pay more for your drinks when you get in, at least with a place like wetherspoons or top joe's theres no charge to get in fair enough theres no music but at least you can hear one another and leave at any time and not regret paying £5 to get in! as for underagers there is plenty who slip through both i was doing it when ii was 16 and i know people now younger than that still getting in. theres nothing up here worth going to and when ever there is it usually dies out in a few weeks, we just need something that is appealing and offers something new at least once a month to keep us intrested then maybe more people will start getting out to these places.

    Hi Localgirl,

    I think I know the DJ you are talking about when it was Eve's

    Wasnt he called something like Moon Boots or something like that as I used to go to Eve's and I thought his DJing was brill.

    Charlie only played a couple of times when it was Eve's but he did play in the Flicks for ages before it changed to Eve's. Showing my age now...lol

    I used to go to the place every weekend when it was Eve's but been to Skinandi's a few times now and I think the DJ there is totally crap and I never hardly go to the place now.

    Bring Back Moon Boots should get a petition going.

    Even if they're not the best places to go on a saturday nite...we're hardly in a position to complain are we?! Skinz is best in my books anyway. And yeh it is always the same ppl, same crack, but whats so wrong wit that? when u live in a city and know virtually no1 when your're out, its nice to go home and see familiar faces!
    Its not all bad!!!!

    The waterfront actual opens at 10pm just nobody turns up until 12 or after. The problem is that all the pubs have been granted late licences to 1am, but the nightclubs (Waterfront and Skinandies) have not been granted an even later licence their licence is still only to 1am. Therefore the nightclubs are only getting 1hr of business, as people are not turning up before 12. The whole thing worked a lot better 10years ago, when all the pubs closed at 12. As you had a route to travel, you would start at Black stairs move down haggers, backer, crown, camps, carters and finally Waterfront. All the establishments worked well together heading people on to the next place and all establishments made a profit, whereas now they are all fighting amongst themselves to make some money

    quote="hails4"]i think the waterfront and skins is poor its the same folk out week in week out same crack every time and nothing seems make the place any more worth going to....

    As for this comment, nothing can be done about the people who go out as that's what happens when you live in a small place. The establishments can not be held responsible for who decides to go out on the weekends

    quote ="hails4"]theres nothing up here worth going to and when ever there is it usually dies out in a few weeks, we just need something that is appealing and offers something new at least once a month to keep us intrested then maybe more people will start getting out to these places

    What are your suggestions that would be more appealing to you to go to that is not expensive, but also makes a profit for these establishments???? You need to include wages, electricity, drinks/food and entertainment!!!

    I do agree there is nothing to do in Wick, but are people going to be willing to spend money if something is organised.

    Personally I'd rather go to the waterfront. At least the toilet doors lock there!

    "Even if they're not the best places to go on a saturday nite...we're hardly in a position to complain are we?!"

    You're dead right, and more's the pity. In Cardosiville it's always 1984 (and I mean that in more ways than one).

    "Skinz is best in my books anyway."

    Which is probably because you've nothing to compare it to, not even the Waterfront counts.

    "And yeh it is always the same ppl, same crack, but whats so wrong wit that? when u live in a city and know virtually no1 when your're out, its nice to go home and see familiar faces!

    Maybe I'm not so easily amused. And it always impresses me when I go back north to see the same people going into the same places, acting as though they just stepped through its doors for the first time. In Caithness' bars and clubs there is no seperation of cultures; I'm all for inclusion, but there has to be a distinction between both social groupd and ages. When you live in a city you'll soon make friends and meet their friends' friends. Go to regular bars and clubs and you'll get well known there, too. There's more to life than Caithness. But you're right, it's not all bad.

    Jealousy will get u nowhere in life!! and what if it is? someone has to run the bloody place!

    Which is probably because you've nothing to compare it to, not even the Waterfront counts.
    And yes i do have something to compare it to, so no need to speak down to me, thanks all the same.

    "Maybe I'm not so easily amused..."
    NOR AM I EASILY AMUSED!!

    "When you live in a city you'll soon make friends and meet their friends' friends. Go to regular bars and clubs and you'll get well known there, too."
    In a city, for the amount of people there are in a pub or club, no matter how many friends u have and how many of their friends you know you still aint gona ken the majority of the people in there.

    "There's more to life than Caithness. But you're right, it's not all bad."
    I know that im not disputing this fact but im just stating a fact, if the waterfront and skinz werent open im sure everyone would be having some boring nites in and complaining about the lack of thing to do?!!

    PS.... Pepsi Challenge, if skinz/waterfront r so bad.....why do u even go to them?!
    RANT OVER!!

    Get over yourself lassie, i.e. leave Caithness when you get the chance. You'll thank me for it in later life.

    To be completely honest I think the social scene suffered when Skinandis opened. Flicks wasn't as popular and then closed down. Everyone used to make a bee line for the Central Disco at the end of the night having already done the usual pub crawl, and then at the end of the night there was always a party at someone's house to be found. Since the nightclub is open until later than the pubs alot of folk aren't into having a party afterwards - or so it seems.
