The Fly Bar (New Oxford Street - London)

August 12th, 2009 · No Comments

The Fly Bar

A well positioned venue for a night out in the centre of town by completely out of place. A wacky grunge industrial decor room greets the entrant with black wooden floors, tired sofas, so quiet that I can hear my friends at the other side of the room word for word as they [...]

Heading to the harvester from Arnos grove station i pass dealers, meth-heads and children with children and secretly hope they are all barred from the venue.inside the scene is fairly busy in the restaurant to the left but the bar where we [...]

Trattoria Bar

 The departure lounge of the London City airport is not very big at all so it is surprising to find that one bar stretches almost the full width of the lounge. The Trattoria Bar offers a large selection but at five pounds a beer its too pricey to really enjoy a beverage and consists [...]

Meridian Line Bar (Terminal One - City Airport)

Meridian Line Bar

Situated in terminal one of London City Airport is a birds nest bar sitting opposite the security checkpoint at the top of the stairs of the entrance hall. Entrance to this oddly shaped bar is complicated and reminds me of a tiny countryside hedge-maze as we find ourselves walking around the parameter rather [...]

Gaymers Cider Garden
What better way to spend a festival that sitting at picnic bench behind a small white picket fence listening to the sounds of music legends just a few meters from the stage 2 tent. To top it off the Gaymers Garden had full table service. The waitresses would come by take orders and [...]

The Glassblower Pub
There is a clump of pubs in this small delta off of the river that is regent street and it caught me off guard that I had not been to one of these yet. (Strange when you think I work only a few yards away) Heading inside I am instantly drawn to the [...]

The temperature outside is hitting 30 degrees Celsius. What better way to cool down in this London heatwave than to head for the coolest bar in town - the ice bar. You can book online before going in - its about £12 a head which gives you a thick coat (which [...]

The Old Fountain (Old Street - London)

July 9th, 2009 · No Comments

The Old Fountain

The old fountain is a charismatic place, it exits onto two different roads but it still rather well cloaked in the Old Street darkness. Its full of men who are either sitting grumpily in the corners complaining or lads out for a bit of a ruckus by the main bar. The old fountain [...]

Bradley’s Spanish Bar

Hidden away on a very narrow street just a short walk from Tottenham Court road station is the rather dangerous looking spanish bar. Inside a pierced tattooed couple cheerily serve a handful of regulars. pints come in at 350 each but theres almost no where to stand or sit. There’s an old vinyl [...]
