Ask Burnley: If you could bring back one Burnley pub, bar or club, which one would it be and why?
Burnley has been home to plenty of iconic hotspots over the years. And maybe a few not so iconic.
We asked the public which pub, bar or club they would love to see make a comeback.
Here are a few of the responses from Facebook...

I don’t even know what’s open anymore.. but favourites were Bootleggers, smacks, Posh (if your fake id was good enough!), Genesis or lava/ignite. Ooh and paradise island for shots!!
Bring back the days when you’d go out at 6pm and go to 10 different places!! Now no one is out til 10/11 and it’s 2 places at best

From a Burnley man now down south. (Sorry). Cats whiskers, only club I went to in my home town, my favourite was peppermint place and the Palace in Blackpool but in Burnley, the cats whiskers holds treasured memories, my 18th booked via a letter, (no e mail or smart phones back then sadly) 30 or so free guests, with free bubbly and balloons...what could go wrong...all invites sent, turned up not allowed in, no tie.... met a bloke at the bus station paid approx 5 quid fior his work tie, then was allowed in for my own 18th, them were the days with dress code etc. (circa 1986 /87.. was a fab club.

I loved the Carlton, Sidewalk, Savannah’s, Angels, Bojangles, Smack water jacks, The Hop & Yorke House but as it’s only 1 then it has to be Cats Whiskers!
