Chapter One Bar

Chapter One bar looks relatively boring from the outside but unlike most one the strip this one has a rather grumpy looking bouncer outside but he lets us in with a smile and past a small entrance room we make our way past a second door into the body of the venue. There is a lot to look at; [...]

The Laurel’s Bar

The Laurel’s Bar clearly has a problem getting women in the door. The main issue may be the fact the bar has a sponsorship agreement with the Rugby club down the road and this pulls in some thirty odd over sized testosterone fuelled young men after a match. The attempt to pull the [...]

Ruislip Rugby Club

A rather rowdy yet friendly bar coupled with a mess hall and gardens scattered with tired picnic benches sat before a Rugby field. Saturday afternoon can see some 60 odd lads fill this venue - large in stature, often with blood on the face and unspoilt smiles by a days game. Surprisingly football [...]

Potemkin Bar

Potemkin sits perfectly in Farringdon surrounded by ex-warehouses, manufacturing units and blocks that have not been updated since the 1930’s.

Cuba Libre Bar

A loud, bold, bar-come-club next to the Tourist-trap bar of London Club. Cuba Libre is a long thin bar with lit up floors and walls with neon green and blue light. The DJ is enthusiastically playing bass heavy tunes while the bar tries his hands at spinning bottle while asking me to repeat [...]

Urban Bug Exit Music DJs Stage and Bar

Its never amazing to stand on a rocky cliff edge, with loose gravel under foot, trying to buy a beer with symbol coins while listening to the course bass of some of your favourite dubstep tunes. Had the ground been a little safer then this dodgy bar and [...]

Meridian Line Bar

Situated in terminal one of London City Airport is a birds nest bar sitting opposite the security checkpoint at the top of the stairs of the entrance hall. Entrance to this oddly shaped bar is complicated and reminds me of a tiny countryside hedge-maze as we find ourselves walking around the parameter rather [...]

Chai Wallahs Bar

A rather interesting stage with rear bar sat in the very thick of the action on the neutral side of the lake at secret garden party. I enter the tent with a bubble machine and the staff are quick to wag a finger to get me to stop. On the menu at a [...]

Exit Festival 2009 Main Stage Bars

The makeshift bars surrounding the main stage at Exit Festival 2009 in Novi Sad, Serbia. were interesting little locations. There were 3 bars in total, one to the right of the stage and two towards the back of the crowd on the left. Tokens could be exchanged for drinks with [...]
