The Good Mixer
Set back from the rest of Camden this apparent cocktail bar turns out to be a rather rocky hangout for everyone interested in the more sociable side of metal. Inside it is revealed to be a double-sided bar with a pool table on one side and packed crowds congregated on the other. The [...]

Archway Tavern Music Hall

Behind the archway tavern is a music hall, you probably wouldn’t know it was there unless you were specifically invited to a gig by some small local unsigned band so hence I ended up here. You pay for the entry on the door which is normally £5 and then inside to a [...]

The Intrepid Fox

[UPDATE] :September 2006: The Intrepid fox in Soho has now closed permanently.
What looks like a rather large pub from outside turns out to be a rather small bar with a stairwell heading up stairs for gigs and such. The Bar is more of a metal den which is a nice surprise for Soho, [...]

The Pit and Pendulum

Another seven deadly sins bar- okay I’m not sure exactly what the name of this chain it but they serve some great cocktails alongside a goth atmosphere and its the best themed chain. This venue in particular is lit up out front by an everlasting flaming torch, and on entering the pounding [...]

The Woodman
Is this pub called the woodman because everything in the place is made of wood? Yes, yes that is exactly why this is acalled the woodman, in fact so woody as to raise my eyevrow in shock. The lighting in here feels like someones living room as you enter the door having just emerged [...]

5th Avenue
A pleasent surprise awaits all who find 5th Avenue. Ironically enough it is on a road called Princess street so don’t go looking for 5th Avenue as we did cos you’ll end up in New York. The club night we went on (a saturday) was cheap to get in and entrance led down some [...]

Casi’s Rock Club

Pronounced ‘Sassies’ this is the only rock club in Warrington and I think it tries really hard to be something its not. You get an air of primary school disco when you enter and look into the faces of 50 something 12 year olds. The Bar is cheap and to your left and [...]

The Brighton Gloucester

i really enjoyed myself here. A medium sized club opening with a cloakroom onto a bar and then down to seating and a dancefloor at the back. The place is actually quite large despite the fact that the entrance makes it feel like some sly underground clubbbing experience and off the beaten track [...]
