Brooklyn Jazz Bar

A small blue open bar overlooking the runway in Terminal C of Newark Airport in New Jersey. As the name would suggest the Brooklyn Jazz Bar is indeed a quiet jazz bar with Tvs depicting artists playing such music on Saxophones and to the left sits a bar with same length as the [...]

All Bar One

Just another European wine bar of this chain bar variety. The unique offerings here are large windows allowing plenty of light to pour in to create a buzzy bright atmosphere, and wine is sold by the Carrif served from barrels where the wine is aged on site in the cellars. And it would [...]

All Bar One

A totally exposed greenhouse of bar tall bar faces the door with seating curtailing off either side into the glass-walled corners. The staff are rather unfriendly and the place does not lend itself well to the prospect of any character although there is a spice of atmosphere generated by the 20 something couples [...]

The Prince of Wales

A large imposing pub in the heart of East Barnet village, this ember inn pub seeks to crush the image of tracksuit-wearing ruffians packing into the pubs in this area but sadly you cannot change the population of a place by introducing a brand name chain. This pub can be entered from [...]

Reef Bar

Situated in front of all the trains in a glass complex is this chain bar-come-cafe. It is on the first floor of this tiny mall and you have to walk through a few small tables on entrance to the bar. These tables are exhibiting very large umbrellas for reasons unknown since the place is [...]

E&O Bar and Restaurant

Admired by some as the nicest Thai fusion restaurant in these parts if not in London but I have to disagree most plainly. The bar itself sits as the bib to the small ground level restaurant behind it, taking the mess of customers and popping a drink in front of them while [...]

Bank Bar & Restaurant

Okay so more a restaurant than a bar officially but there is a bar in here as demonstrated in the image shown and apart from fine wines there are well mixed cocktails on offer, all at prices fixed to “stun”. I never particularly like the idea of sitting at a bar inward [...]

Nordic Bar

I love themed bars, there is something about them that casts a magic in the air and puts everyone in a funny role-playing mood. Nordic bar does not do this. Nordic bar casts a shadow over a party: like trying to drink a nice cocktail in a room so crammed with people you would [...]
