Cafe au Laif
I happened on this place recently which displayed an over-sized hookah pipe in its window and I took it upon myself to find out more. This innocent luncheon cafe serving basic coffees and kebabs also sells shisha at £6 a go. This is by far the cheapest shisha bar I have found closest [...]

Walkabout Bar
OK, so you happen to notice this Gothic medieval building behind a bank on Charing Cross road and you think ‘hey, its a walkabout- those are good aren’t they?’ and wander in. Well this one is basically an small converted church that feels like a cinema with one enormous screen playing the biggest sports [...]

Barley Mow

Halfway between Pimlico and Victoria this large corner pub sits proudly on the highstreet awaiting its punters. Inside the room is rather large with two platforms either side of the circular bar. The atmosphere is rather too smokey for a food-serving pub and in fact doesnt serve up particularly good grub either. The price [...]

Sphere Bar
Enticed in by a man with a clip board wandering the streets of Soho at ten pm on a Saturday night is just asking for trouble but, he got us in for free, and we found a table easily in the glow of an lcd screen, dumped coats in a  cloakroom and made [...]

The Wetherspoons

The one place you flock too before hours of fun at the massive array of bars in Brighton is the one place that spoils the lot of them. Commanding the entry of cheap women, police and persons who appear to have trodden in the whole of the beach from down the road. However like [...]

The Habit
This is definitely an old man’s pub. Aside from my boss and myself there was one other woman in the pub, not including the bar staff. It has attempted to retain the old world charm of British pubs by having ale barrels and pewter mugs to drink from. This was not done very well [...]

A bold pub set ona  cobbled street corner. This small looking pub is actually quite busy and cosy inside. this means limited seating and unfortunately long waiting times at the bar. The staff are helpful and the range of drinks is substantial (at least they do cider on tap). Other than that little [...]

The Ridgeway Tavern

A while back I ventured to this pub on the outskirts of Enfield with two crazy friends. (They would had to have been crazy at these prices). The trip was at no aim other than to drink our favoured cocktail a “double unhappy” which is of course two shots of vodka in a [...]

The Cross Keys(Wetherspoons)
An over-sized Wetherspoons with long waiting times at the bar and bar staff that will gladly spill a pint or two upon you while you sit and chat with friends. Its been some time since i actually went to this pub and i hope its lots some of its rowdy charm and blatant [...]

The Slug and Lettuce

Located next to the london eye this high street pub is clearly looking for the businessmens wallet and I was a businessman last time i entered its abode. The glass front doors tempt you into a world of hard varnished floors and similarly other polished customers who seem to glint with the [...]
