Avenue Hotel Bar
Most hotels would probably be embarrissed to offer that kind of Bar that Avenue Hotel offers its residence. Understood that there is a distinct lack of space in the area and that normally when building “the only way is up” but this bar (located just two steps after the reception desk, consists of [...]

Bar and Picnic Area
They don’t come much worse than this in Europe’s largest water park. The bar and restaurant combo which sits overlooking the central relaxation area and kiddie park is basically a canteen with alcohol and plastic chairs and tables out front under an old plastic roof covering. The staff at the canteen are rude [...]

The Well
The Well has now perminantly closed down (Thankfully!)
When a pub lives up it’s name it can be a wonderful thing but “the well” is “the pits”. It sits quite quietly on edge of the high street in Muswell hill and within is a bar with a bad selection of drinks (except the whisky is [...]

Bar 1930
The new Wembley stadium was opened March 2007 and I was lucky enough to be one of the first to visit the ground and see up close the amazing building which has sparked so much discussion in the UK media. The place itself is very impressive indeed its a meaty 90,000 seat stadium ready [...]

Barbarian Village Bar
This entry is a review of a bar that exists in the virtual world of Runescape, I have reviewed it for fun because I enjoy playing this MMORPG.
You realise quite quickly that any bar without an official name is probably just a dig with old picnic benches and vikings wielding giant battle-axes- well [...]

The Lion
An all-male Irish hole in the side of another bigger building in Archway. Entering to the sound of bad 50’s pop ballards is not half as bad as having your table taken from you while you are still occupying it by an old man with one eye. The bar staff are not particularly friendly [...]

The Shire’s Cafe
Dec 2006: The Shire’s Cafe has now Closed Perminently
In St Pancras Station sits a rather glum looking bar, the bar with the least amount of character in these parts but what would you expect from a bar constructed solely to entertain the alcoholics that get that descrete one in before getting on the [...]

My Bar
Opposite Zoo-bar in leicester Square we arrived fully in the swing of a pub-crawl only to be turned away at the bar. Although doors were open and signs alight the place had apparently had its licence revoked. Free to serve a variety of soft drinks but that is all. I doubt it still exists. [...]

Belugar Cafe (Champagne & Wine Bar)
A temporary building beside Canary Wharf serving food alcohol and hot drinks to lucky ice skaters using the rink beside it. I nipped in for some hot chocolate on a nice cold day and found it to be a quite place full of foreign bar staff who could not speak [...]
