The Flask Pub

Pleasant surprise; is one way to describe this rather well hidden yet large pub with all its character, pampered with young trendy folk with a big beer garden out front, heaters and a canopy. It’s quite hard to believe that something this big is just around the corner from the quiet village high [...]

The Salisbury Pub

Quite surprisingly the Salisbury on St Martin’s Lane in the heart of London’s West End, is a gem of a pub. From the outside it looks like an old poky pub where drinkers come in off the street to quench thirsts with a cheap ale. In fact once you slide in past the [...]

Club 108

The below review was conducted when this club was still a members only club, today Club 108 is open to all and does not use a membership model.

The Original Oak Pub

By all accounts the Original Oak pub in Leeds is one of those student gems that is a massive venue for congregation, partying and pulling in all weathers. Surprising it is then that from the outside it doesn’t look as big as it is within. Inside there is a forebar then a [...]

The Bear and Staff Pub

This pub, sitting just off of the side of Leicester square, somehow thrives as if it was sitting a hundred miles away in a small village. It is continually filled with locals drinking in a community spirit. Cheerful and well priced (or at least average prices for the area) this small [...]
