Neutral Zone Field Site Bar

 You would hardly notice there was even an official festival bar in this field surrounded bit wood fire pizza restaurants and stalls selling festival gear but sure enough here is a bar looking as dull as an old shoe among a festival of brightly coloured boots. The dreary white sign reads [...]

Crabwell Manor - Earl of Chester Suite Bar

Through the small yet plush corridors of the manor one wanders in search of a drink. I come across the party taking play in the room which, according to the account above the door, belongs to the Earl of Chester. Within are a few comfortable furnishings and a small [...]

Crabwell Manor Hotel Bar

Standing up at the bar in some kind of badly fashioned queue, in a room that feels much like the clubhouse of a golf club, the much talked about Bar at Crabwell Manor House Hotel in Chester is embarrassing, degrading and for lack of a better word, appalling. The selection behind the [...]

R.E.D. Bar and Restaurant

Advertised as a cocktails and lounge bar outside we are told “they are not ready yet” 9although later I find out that this is actually two venues rolled into one and we are seated in the restaurant area. Old people argue in the corner to slow Spanish music while others drink tea. [...]

Bar at Imax Cinema Waterloo

The Imax cinema in Waterloo is a centre-piece for the area and large and dominating as it is, some of its features leave a somewhat bad taste in the mouth. First off finding the entrance to Imax from above ground is impossible and I will shamefully admit I walked round the structure [...]

The Dun-A-Ri Bar

Quite the speckled name for what is quite sincerely, your average irish bar among Kings Cross’s supermarkets and corner shops. At the door stand a few bouncers who seem too engaged with one another to care who comes in the tiny side doors that they are being paid to protect. Inside is a [...]
