Thai & Co - Bar and Restaurant

A restaurant offering a delightful selection of more exotic cocktails, Thai & Co sits in the middle of one usually quite calm high street of North Finchley. Inside there is a bar to the left but eating an ddrinking is strictly for table servcie only where food is pushed [...]

The Terrace Bar and Restaurant

Quite randomly this Bar and Restaurant appears without batting an eyelid in the middle of the park. It is quite literally a makeshift greenshouse, a temporary building which sevres quite well as a summery location from which to dine and drink. The food is very good if a little overpriced and [...]

Vodka Revolution

This is labelled as being the worst Vodka Revolution in Leeds but I felt it necessary to investigate none-the-less. Outside the place looks far smaller than it is within as the venue reaches back with a bar running along its right side and in the far corner is a dance-floor and DJ booth, stairs [...]

LVPO Bar

An upmarket alpine lodge style venue consisting of a couple of bars with seating trailing off in different directions in rooms which have apparently been squeezed into this den in the cosiest cranny of Soho. The bar at the front of the venue is a sappy excuse for a shop window giving people who [...]

The Fen

A small pub with bad service in Fenchurch street station. Its pride extends to a few fruit machines and a parade of travellers as clients. There are a couple of cheap soft furnishings and although its not too bad a pub for a tube station it is as expensive as the rest of the [...]

Marquess of Anglesey

A busy busy pub in a busy busy location packing with the popular and the plenty. The place is well kept - not huge but it keeps its own capacity well with burly bouncers but with staff that cant seem to serve the crowd with much haste. The place feels a little rowdy [...]

The Chandos

Yet another of these independently run pubs on the cuff of Covent Garden, barely looking into Trafalgar square but with enough proximity to pull in flocks of tourists and that’s pretty much all you can expect from this place. The venue is not overcrowded however as many drinkers are not fond of the own-brand [...]

The Duke of York

A loud cage of a bar popular with middle aged folk, hidden behind the great shoulders of Oxford Street. The completely windowed pub feels cage-like with all its cross pane designs and within a metal winding staircase sits in the middle of the room. For sport this place can get quite hectic [...]

The Preston

Ember Inns are often seen as a more up level yet chain run and owned set of pubs which offer more than your run of the mill Wetherspoons. The Preston, however does not occupy a hugely decadent area. Chavs spill into the car park as you approach the door, giving a rowdy and untrusted [...]

The Shipwright’s Arms

A ub with the mission to safe-guard the keep of its flurry of locals and shun away the tourists, thrill seekers and bar reviewers of this world. The toilets display an angry warning about misuse by non-drinkers and the main room is literally a high-ceiled hall with a rounded- skeletal bar filling its [...]
