The Cambridge Pub

Wandering around Soho in search of some a little different, my friends and I stumble upon the Cambridge pub On Cambridge circus. As you may or may not be aware this is an area overpopulated with pubs, all of whom seem to pull in the punters so I’m eager to see what makes [...]

V Vodka Bar (Guild Hall - Portsmouth)

V Vodka Bar

A dirty rip off of vodka revolution with a cumbersome bunch of weird shots which frankly taste vile.with names like helter skelter and seesaw it was very difficult to identify their contents without one of the precious shots guides. Lovely a shot of grenadine, vodka and gin for a pound, it almost feels like [...]

Cambridge Theatre Dress Circle Bar

The Cambridge theatre was playing the stage production of Chicago on my last visit and with tickets to seating in the dress circle we took it upon ourselves to head up to the theatre a few minutes early and wait for the doors to open. On arrival we were shown up [...]

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 (Kings Cross - London)

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 [...]

Silver Bonito Bar (London Champagne Boat Cruise) (Waterloo Pier - London)

Silver Bonito Bar

Sold as a romantic champagne cruise around the Thames this is nothing more than a sightseeing tour. The romantic music from the brochure is replaced with the camp gab of some misled tour guide. Five minutes into the cruise and i head down to the champagne bar. Hardly a bar could it be called [...]

Wine Bar - Arena (Reading Festival 2008 - Reading)

Wine Bar - Arena

For some reason wine is segregated from the main bar tents in the arena and is sold at this canvas covered hatch instead. The so called wine bar is never very busy. Its seems there is far greater demand for beers than for a plastic cup of warm vino. The bar is [...]

Travellodge Bar Cafe (Bournemouth - Dorset)

Travellodge Bar Cafe

Very quiet in the day with an almost bare bar and a few sad looking tables next to the reception so you can’t be too loud. So for a town famous for its stag does this is not really even the sort of venue you want to start off having a drink in [...]

Beach Boy’s Club

Never in my life have I walked into such an obvious attempt to pull in the cream of the underage crowd and bare-faced provide some of the poorest entertainment in Spain. The beach boys club is clearly the work of a few north England alcoholics opening a bar to stage a farce of [...]

Maggy and Wolfgang’s Pub (Old Town - Marbella)

Maggy and Wolfgang’s Pub

Maggy and Wolfgang’s is a bar set into the cobbled street of Marbella’s old town and is a little bigger than shed. Its selection behind the bar is a shadow of what can be purchased in any other bar in this world. From the looks of things there was one tap for traditional [...]
