Barrowboy and Banker

A deep, thick set pub on two levels, popular, charismatic and fun. The place is full of young people, over-sized lighting and the layout of the place has an element of surrounding the people at the bar with the whole atmosphere of the place. Perhaps its the tall bar compared to the apparent [...]

The Famous Royal Oak

Hidden from any sign of of the civilisation at the top of muswell hill this pub somewhat retains a crowd. As you approach there are two outdoor televisions on a large outdoor terrace. Some of the area is under cover and in the summer one can expect fresh BBQ food. Inside is [...]

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

With a name like this you do stop and wonder what on earth could be the attraction to a name which sounds more like a 1940’s North Western Cheddar Factory than one of the oldest surviving taverns in the City of London. This pub is a very ancient network of old medieval [...]

Smiths of Smithfield

A warehouse-style bar next to Fabric in Farringdon by one of the more eccentric names on the Bar circuit. Smiths of Smithfield is a very large old disused manufactoring warehouse which throws elements of dining, raving and drinking into an infused evening not bettered by many establishments around. The music on the ground [...]

This single venue is infamous and great. More recently updated this place used to be the drinking den for all the late late drinkers running their own stools on the borough market sitting opposite with very odd opening hours and rough-as-a-biscuit clientele. However in its more modern times the place appears to be delivering [...]

Roadhouse

Roadhouse is easily missed or walked by. Its tucked in a tight corner on the edge of Covent Garden market and its quite literally a basement bar restaurant club almost like an adult TGI Friday’s with lashings of light and colour. The bars inside are a little scattered about on different levels with [...]

DLG VIP Cocktail Lounge

The Direct Marketing fair occurs once a year and I have been informed that this rather exclusive stand-come cocktail bar is an annual feature. The bar is run by two professional cocktail persons who stand shaking their mixers loudly to the soft tempos of music being streamed into the small gathering of [...]

The Comedy Store

Seated on the corner of Leicester square this small theatre for live comedy acts is a very nice venue and perfectly suited for the heckler or comedy lover. Entering via downward steps you come across famous names that have had acts here over the years and signed memorabilia. Box office checking is fast [...]

The Cittie of Yorke

This super old time pub is utterly amazing. From the front it looks like the entrance to an old court building and looks like another nook in the meaty shoulders of high holborn. In fact the Cittie of York is revealed as you walk down the open passageway of the entrance through [...]
