The Black Heart Pub

The black heart rests just behind the first parade of shops on Camden high street after coming out the station and offers a dark but mature retreat for those who have a passion for rock music. The bar is rather dominating and takes up a good portion of the room with [...]

Oddfellow Bar

With bouncers on the door and the rain really coming down outside we dash into Oddfellows leaving the miserable northern weather behind us. Heading up a flight of steps we find ourselves in a hallway much like an old fashioned house with a stairwell up one side. The room beyond has a bar to [...]

Beirhaus Bar

In keeping tradition with two of the best new yorkers I know, we attended our second global “Beerhouse” this time in New York and in true New York style this medium sized bar is located one storey up, above some other shops. The Beirhaus is very loud, a live rock band are playing away [...]

The Craft Beer Company

Serving up a very comfortable selection of local ales, this reburbished pub on the corner of Hatton garden is filled with regulars throughout the day and has a charming and very agreeable atmosphere.

The Black Bull

The local watering hole in this quiet village appears to fondly be the Black Bull for a handful of residents and in a couple of visits over the course of one weekend I notice a stark contrast in the hospitality on offer. At Friday afternoon we sit in the clttered beer garden with [...]

The Jolly Sailor

Even the quietest village needs to have a venue that can pull in the heavy drinkers and party goers on a Saturday night and the Jolly sailor is just one such venue. Looking like an innocent country pub from a distance, the lower ceiling bar area turns busy pretty early on with [...]

Miracles Cafe and Bar (Cockfosters - London)

Miracles Cafe and Bar

Strictly more of a restaurant or diner than a bar, but this venue does serve up alcohol as beer or wine with a small bar and some folks drift in more for a drink than food so I am firmly posting to the bar section of Barblog. Miracles is pretty overrun [...]

The Terrace Bar (The Lido Deck - P&O Ventura)

November 15th, 2011 · No Comments

The Terrace Bar

Sometimes the back of the boat is the best place to sit and sunbathe; the churning waters and foam spray of the trail of a ship as large as Ventura in the deep blue waters of the Atlantic pave off into the distance and the sight is spectacular. Having a bar then that [...]

Palazzo Casino

The Palazzo casino and hotel is a monster palace of a skyscraper looking rather at home among the other casino dominating the skyline of the las vegas strip. Inside the white halls have a roman feel about them and in the bright spaces gamblers throw away ten of thousands of dollars every second in [...]
