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 [...]

Situated on the ever characteristic old street leading through some of London’s most up market and down market shops and evening venues, Cafe El Paso is a bar/restaurant parked in the thick of it all.

A very small new style bar jammed in behind a subway entrance. it is in essence a wide room with a bar and a couple of very cramped tables. You can tell by walking in that the continental beers and lack of traditional selection means this place will be pricey and at [...]

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 [...]
