Waxy’s Little Sister

If this pub is trying to cash on the success of waxy o conners it will disappoint the masses for this is one rather nasty little sister! She is basically a small pub on the corner of wardour street in Soho and spends much of her existence inviting punters into what seems like [...]

Cask & Glass

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 [...]

Stamford Hall Student Bar

Leicester Uni has various bars dotted around its accommodation halls, this is apparently the best and most popular of them and this is truly a student bar. It is essentially a small hallway with a bar at one end and looks like all the past students old furniture has been dragged into [...]

Cafe Creme Brasserie Bar

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 (Finchley - London)

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 [...]

The Speaker (St James’ Park - London)

The Speaker

More like a lunchtime sandwich shop than a pub. This place is very small -simply a long bar accompanied by a couple of tables. There appears to be a deli counter built into the bar itself giving you a sad view of some rather grim cheeses while you tuck in your £2.90 stout. At least [...]

Sherlock Holmes (Charing Cross - London)

Sherlock Holmes

Slightly set back from the strand this humble little pub drags tourists in like a magnet from the hit series ‘Lost’ and then tears the cash from their wallets like post-it-notes. This place, as humble looking as it is, is in fact overrun with elderly tourists en-route to goodness knows where. Outside there are [...]

Bag O Nails Bar (Nottingham)

Bag O Nails Bar

Standing outside it looks rather like a plastic conservatory stuck up to hold only against the slightest wind and to just serve as a shelter for those youth that would rather drown there sorrows and pocket change than save it up for a decent night out closer to the middle of town. [...]

The White Horse and Bower

This venue looks small from the outside and within is just that- okay a bit longer than it looks from outside but that’s about all. It has a silly bottleneck up the front of the pub making it difficult to squeeze past the bar to reach the seating at the back. [...]

The Two Chairmen

Just out of sight of old nelsons column is a corner pub just set back enough from the busy high street of pall mall to be as quiet as hell.. It is a very small pub on entry with additional seating upstairs but this is dead. The only clientele look to be a [...]
