Dean’s Brasserie
This rather interesting venue on Southampton road serves as the bar for a small Hotel next door and is accessible straight off the street as a cafe/bar type room. I can feel the hamstrings of Ikea as I enter, the eery bright light of a show-home to take this reviewers eye off the bar [...]

O’ Neill’s
As totally rammed as the world- olympics of record breaking attempt of Ram bukkake. This venue has folk queuing through the front door on your normal average shopping experience at the top of the Carnaby street of dreams. Shoppers literally queuing down the road for a sip of irish pint, cheap booze and bottles [...]

The Sun and 13 Cantons

A large crowd gathers outside this small but classic bar in Soho. The place is never that crowded inside however though the population swarms at the doors- this is due only to the fact that the walkways and seating is narrowed inside that it is better accommodating outside even in the [...]

A small, very small, tiny, tiny tiny pub in Victoria, so small I missed it the first time I went round the streets looking for it, it is perched on a very quiet street corner and there punters collect in the road outside. Within you will find 4 small tables and a bar [...]

The 3 Oceans

From outside this looks like a giant advert on the side of a wall for what is inside. Inside the place is all about looks, there is a swank bar swept around a corner of a very well lit lounge. There are 70’s half cut shell chairs in leather around small impractical tables [...]
