Sugar Cane Cocktail Bar
What i can only assume is supposed to be a tropical themed bar is housed along one of the quieter main roads of clapham.out front are a couple of tables basking in the warm glow of red lights. Within is a medium sized room-larger than you might expect from the outside with [...]

The Headingley Taps
By my assumption this was a Wetherspoons that looks like a castle but in fact though it is a chain it is not chained to the largest bar brand in the UK. So from afar the place seems much to behold,a castle indeed. So you can imagine the disappointment when half of the [...]

The Hyde Park Bar
When a bar a long way a way from London takes a name as well known as Hyde park it is difficult not to be curious as to what it might be like. Well on the positive side it is popular with an indie rock persona. The interior is modern, the crowd [...]

Cafe Del Mondo
This cafe gets probably 100 per cent of its business from the enormous Olympia conference hall over the road. The cafe is pretty much a single file queue down to the stumpy till with a small swarm of tiny chairs with accompanying tables at the back. The place is run very much like [...]

Dream Time Arena Bar
Sitting to the left of the main stage and making it that little bit further away from the arena entrance, the dream time bar doesn’t seem to get as crowded as its counterparts. The setup is exactly the same as its sibling temporary bars as a very long hatch served by a [...]

Walkabout Bar
This walkabout is fairly large. On a Saturday night the street fills with the under aged as try tart themselves up to get inside. Within is a sea of young drunken students, very male dominated with women dotted around like buoys in the open sea. Some of then men masquerade around in masks, dancing [...]

Reef Bar
Since you have to pay to use the station toilets these ones are all coded up, the week I checked out this establishment the code was 1815. The venue is on the top floor of the station, perched as a large interior with balconies overlooking the bustling station below. Reef bar seems to be [...]
