Shaw’s Bookseller’s

A gastro, multi-level pub with a lower pit of wooden tables, floorboards, light green walls and a few steps up sits a medium sized bar- completely packed with people (this would be a friday afternoon) but less crowded during the week I am told. The place has character and generally popular with the after-work [...]

Coyote Ugly

Yes of course I totally wish this one was as good as the one in the film. Once an hour girls of an average build shake their hips and “booty” to hard rock and metal. The bar is big, hall-like with industrial style warehouse pipes and steel rods protruding from the ceiling and it [...]

Ladybird Bar

At a glance this place appears to be a civilised cosmopolitan dream but the delivery of its experience is not only delayed but disappointing. It’s a double-floor rather trendy up-beat venue with hip-hop and reggae fusion playing throughout. The bar entrance is across a VIP rope and up a short set of stairs into [...]

A closer peer reveals the thin entrance which reveals a short bar to the right and a few tables assorted [...]

The Three Crowns

A very normal looking corner pub just off of the Old street roundabout. Entering one finds a small room with high ceiling - a small bar tucked in the left corner and a rather unfriendly bar woman serving drinks. With not so much as a smile or any soul in her pouring technique [...]

Tom Cribb

This small traditional pub almost seems out of place beside the bustle of Leicester Square. it is only visible in the gloomy distance away from the bright lights of the premier cinema’s but it is there and busy with elderly locals and scary bar persons. In honesty you need to be a tad on [...]

Slug & Lettuce
This bar location was once used as a Hog’s Head and the transformation to a Slug and Lettuce has been a good one. This particular bar is a rather posh version of this typical chain but with waited tables newly painted white walls thorughout and a very clean interior which appears to be [...]
