Loft Bar

A keen basement bar and disco in the centre of chester. The place has burned to the ground before but on reopening the venue is lit up with neon green lighting behind the bar and has a dark and twisted feel with industrial piping about the place. During the party season the place can get [...]

The Taps Bar

Hidden away, left at the intersection in the middle of enfield town is the Taps pub, an over 25’s drinking establishment which resembles an old pub except that the building is sandwiched among other less desirable shops.

The Beehive Pub

A long narrow Wetherspoons pub on Brixton high street just a very short walk from the station down towards Brixton Academy. The service at the bar (which runs most of the length of the pub along the right hand wall) is fast and as with all Wetherspoons the drinks are very reasonable prices. [...]

The Parish Pub

Within walking distance of the glorious Wembley stadium sits this timid looking Irish pub. There are frequent signs about the toilets for customer use and just inside the door is a small number of the tables with a compact bar to the right. The bar is serviced by a stern looking middle aged [...]

Sweeney’s Bar

A bit of a rough old pub. We just so happen to enter this venue in the middle of a football match and it seems all eyes are fixed on the many screens around the room. In fact I am not sure I have seen a room so crowded in the middle of the [...]

The White Lion of Mortimer

For a pub with no atmosphere the white swan is surprisingly busy.each table is occupied with some pretty tired looking  working class people looking like they are on their last legs. The service in this relatively small wetherspoons is friendly but the bar staff are incredibly slow joking amongst themselves as time [...]

Bolgna Cafe Pizzeria Bar

Sitting and relaxing on the streets of Novi Sad is a popular past time. Iced Coffee’s, ice cream and full blown lasagne are all Serbian favourites I find, perched in wicker chairs under umbrellas, out of the baking sun in the middle of the busy season. We sit outside Bolgna Cafe Pizzeria, [...]

9Rouge Restaurant and Bar

At the bottom of one of the more popular strips of bars and restaurants in Novi Sad sits a quiet venue called Rouge. There is comfortable seating out the front with dark brown wicker chairs filled with a mafia looking collective of gentlemen and a well-to-do young couple baking in the sun [...]
