• D2 is class.the RMC is class.his cd's aren't steeky!!!!!!oh and he is a sexy beast!!!
• top of high street, best gear at best prices. Burtons? what gives
• D2 in Bloomfields shopping centre is "CLASS". The RMC ( local DJ extrordinar ) works there and he's always selling his wee steeky mix tapes and cds. Hopefully this small note will alert the RUC to his sins.
• buy a pair of knickers and theyll think ure in 4 a goode time
• Menarys for that matron look!
• Oxfam is my particular favourite if you are looking for a 2nd hand piece of shit that not even children in the 3rd world would wear then this is the place to go.
• Apache is thankfully no longer in Bangor and you were all done.
• Sod all squared. Try Apache, above Underground, or if you're into sports stuff, then JJB on Main St. b2 in Flagship is OK, Burton in DP's is closing down, Excel is expensive, NEXT in Bloomfields is great, but then I work there so I would say that!
• Absolutley sod all!! Open up some decent shops in Flagship you tossers!
• Oxfam - where Rusty from Allens gets all his gear! He wears it once or ten times then takes it back for a trade in!
• Nothing decent in this town. In fact if the whole town were only able to wear what they wore ten years aga, no one from outside could tell the difference
• Murf loves the Hippy look from Rough Stuff and the WWF t-shirts, he loves Steve Austin
• Doesn't matter, living in Bangor maens that you probably wear shite clothes anyway.
• Adam's never ending supply of free t-shirts is a joy to the local public
• Dunnes Stores Dougie always goes there
• Rough Stuff, who have brought over 30 "Stone Cold Steve Austin" T-Shirt's just as his professional wrestling career is over due to a bad injury. Oh well time for the Owen Hart T-Shirts, Doh.
• Apache (above underground)- Carhart Surf Mountain (on Upper Main Street) -Animal/Rip Curl/Billabong/Quicksilver etc. also has cool sale shop selling last seasons ranges at cut price
• Dunnes Oxfam
• Apache- above Underground on High Street and Surf Mountain on Main Street.
• Baillies, High Street, Apache, High Street, Geeves, Main Street.
• Excel in Main Street sells designer labels, also Geeves... there's a shop selling skate-wear in Southwell Road (bedsit city - or should that be bedsit-shitty?)...some more clothes shops in the Bloomfields Centre..., Jeanster, Next etc...
• Hippy is big - try Phoenix off Main Street. Go to Belfast - fresh Garbage.

Arts, crafts and such (Anything from pukka art galleries to craft shops. Trendy and twee both welcome.)

• Oniart has since stopped trading. I am still an artist but dont exhibit at the moment due to family priorities. I will let you know when I start up trading again but it wont be under Oniart as my sites have been taken by others.
• Craft Depot on High street next to GTW
• go to bloomfield chech out the artistic murials leanardo wouldn be proud
• yes picture this is cool. movie art not like normal galleries, for young people
• Gorgeous new art gallery, Picture This on Grays Hill, near Billy Browns, really cool abstract and modern art. Retro posters too. Nothing like it in Bangor. Something to make the trek up hill worthwhile
• ONIART.COM, local bangor artist with skill. Doesnt hang in galleries but sells alot of excellent art. A must visit is his website ONIART.COM or CO.UK.
• art shop
• Grays Hill is the only place to go for your second hand tat (I mean valued antiques)...
• Crawfordsburn has a neat lil shop oh yeah and a pottery
• That little irish shop is there down the sea front.That place near town hall too.
• source, all the charity shops, the chinese chrystal place
• Oh My God, that photographic competition in the Flagship, were cameras only handed out to Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, or where they all taught by Leanne Radcliff at Bangor Tec
• grays hill, is getting pretty cool, in a pretentious kinda way
• Gallery 34 on Grays Hill does a wicked coffee, and has public art for sale, if this is your thing. Also, check town hall for exhibitions etc. Grays Hill is the place for this kind of stuff definitely.
• David Crawford's art store, somewhere in lisnabreen
• Kids club mural in Bk
• The Heritage Centre normally has something on. Greys Hill is the world centre for antique/junk shops. Surely.

Magazine and Comic Shops

• Why do i feel guilty when i leave Pollocks Newsagents on Grays Hill after buying my lottory tickets

• Threshold Comics is Shitehole
• Easons have a good selection
• The Bangor Spectator, the best reason to recycle, unless u know someone in the court pages, we know u jamie!
• Now you are really having a laugh!! Sort it out geeks!
• Really shitty wee shop called the NPO, which is a tacky version of Easons or W.H.Smith. Ran by a tyrant manager who pays the staff peanuts and treats them like dirt. Affectionately know as the 'DUMP'.
• ashbury is NOT a steek hole thats KILCOLY!!!! BUT U CAN BE ARESTED FOR JUST STANDING OUTSIDE UR HOUSE!!! HONEST!!!!It happened 2 me!!!
• Threshies run by sad Americans
• Pollacs, Grays Hill, open 24hrs a day to cater for all your pornographic needs. A girl behind the counter can make the purchase of said material a mite embarrasing, why not slip it between the pages of the Times; it works for me.
• Threshold comics in high street, run by Justin.
• Threshould comics owned by the ever funny 'Justin the Goth' the place to go if you like to wear black and own a long trenchcoat.
• Threshold Comics on High Street sell good comics and stuff while Replay just across the road have good computer games and toys, etc
• Don't know what it's called but there's one in High Street selling Marvel, DC comics etc...

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Bangor. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Bangor.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
