Industry Bar

Sandwiched between Old Street and the City (literally opposite a skyscraper) Industry Bar captured the swank of Brick Lane yet appears just outside of the parameter of Shoreditch. Gliding past the friendly bouncers the music within is pretty hot, there are bars upstairs and down, the downstairs is soundproofed and often has private gigs [...]

Bailey’s Tavern

When there’s radiation raining down from all sides and grenades soaring overheard as you fight for your very existence there’s nothing better than a traditional pint on tap at what could possibly be the last remaining proper pub in post-apocalyptic America, in the town of Jericho.

Joe’s Bar

Possibley one of the most unlikely places to host a gathering of people with alcohol is a room that also caters for the fixing of star fighters and weapons.

The Grange Pub and Dining Room

The Grange is meticulously maintained by a couple who are good at what they do and run a tight shift. The pub stands proud and alone beside the common, a fairly large garden dominates the rear of the venue and up front the bar splits into a dining room to [...]

The Green Man

Quite the surprising find, The Green Man has relatively good proximity to Oxford Street (about a five minute walk) and is exactly where to head if you are into Cider. This split-level traditional pub pulls in a heavy crowd of media types on a Friday night and a much lighter crowd mid-week but has [...]

HaHa Bar and Canteen

The Plaza complex in Victoria is home to HaHa’s, a busy bar with a restaurant upstairs. The downstairs consists of a bar to the right of the entrance which, although small seems to be able to service people even in very concentrated numbers, in a short amount of time. The selection is [...]
