South Barnet Club (Barnet - London)

October 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment

South Barnet Club

A private club of moderate size on Mays lane. In fact the only place which is allowed to serve alcohol along the extensive road. The venue contains a pool table and like most private clubs, a badly stocked bar, attracting the sort of crowd who seem to have invested in the same charity-shop-clothes [...]

Club 49 (Greek Street - London)

Club 49

When wandering around Soho at 1am on a Saturday night it is never advisable to just wander into a place. Naturally ticket-tout style reps from various clubs fill the streets in an attempt to pull the punters at a cut price that tickets on the door. Advertised at £8 a ticket this club can [...]

Pommeler’s Rest (London Bridge - London)

Pommeler’s Rest(wetherspoons)

This fairly small Wetherspoons is a sham and puts the notoriously high class area to shame on a level that its city Wetherspoon counterparts would be thoroughly ashamed of! To begin with the place is infested by loudmouth elderly fish market men with booming unfriendliness and filling up the space like blimps. The bar [...]

Harvester Bar & Eatery (Arkley - Hertfordshire)

Harvester Bar & Eatery

A large chain restaurant and bar combo for lorry drivers and budget meals for families this brand feels like it has had it’s day and died a rather undignified death. Inside this particular venue is a rather miserable looking bar served up next to part of the kitchens with no barman [...]

The Brewmaster (Leicester Square - London)

The Brewmaster

Well it certainly sounds like a contender for the name of an Alcoholic Superhero but the Brewmaster is instead a well laid trap beside the popular tourist location of Leicester square. Once can enter via the front of back of this establishment in what is essentially a slim pub with a semi circular bar [...]

White Hart (Southgate - London)

White Hart

Hidden well enough from the view of the high street the white heart enjoys a strong presence from the same community that use Southgate College, 20-somethings with a lot of energy to expend on elevated levels of noise - hooliganism and drugs and the White Hart is somewhat a base for these activities proving [...]

Anheuser Busch Brewhouse (Newark Airport - New Jersey)

June 19th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Anheuser Busch Brewhouse

Located in Terminal C this bar has been casually thrown to the side of the walkway for punters that cannot face another travelator without a pint. And to be fair there’s little else on offer here- 4 small taps, a fridge full of Budweiser and the odd bottle of wine but the [...]

The Lyric Theatre Bar (Soho - London)

The Lyric Theatre Bar

A fairly standard theatre bar - this small bar situated in the foyer overcrowds at intervals but other than that stays quite quiet. Expect expensive and urine tasting wines, warm beers and although the bar woman is only eager to please the posh individuals tutting behind you at your outrage for a [...]

The Monks Retreat (Reading Town Centre)

The Monks Retreat

Apparently a monk climbing up a bit of rope makes a pub good, I think not! The centre piece for this overcrowded, under-belly of the lower class Wetherspoons is host to some of the most grotty persons in the town of Reading. I can now see what the monk is scrambling away from; [...]
