A rather peculiar name for a bar. This venue must literally be one of the only places to go out in hertford because it seems to attract people who are desperate to be there but for no visible reason. The building is a 1960’s arty build with big windows on the first floor [...]

O’ Neill’s Irish Bar

Tucked away quite percariously in London’s Soho, a stone’s throw from China town, it seems that the bar manager thinks its okay to charge £7 entry fee to what is just a very packed two storey - low ceiling pub. Sure, its popular and in a very central location but at least [...]

The Packhorse Pub

with a name that really sounds like a mule on his last legs, this pub doesn’t start off doing itself any favours. The first face we see at an interesting cubby hole window on the edge of the first room in the venue is that of the barman. But he is too busy [...]

At six pounds a pint for fruit beers that you have to drink in the street Bierodrome in Clapham is really not a fun place to be. The interior is completely overcrowded to dangerous levels and the crowd themselves seem dressed up for the best night out of their lives seem happy [...]

Alcatraz International Bar

The astutely named “Alkatraz* bar in Calella is a young, rough and ready wannabe bar with all the trimmings of a British bar trying to make it abroad and succeeding in pulling punters that crave football, loutish behaviour and pints of their favourite home favourites. The original pull for our party was the [...]
