Bar [Me]
With 200 people in Portsmouth on a most wanted database it is clear to see why entrance queues are so long and why ever punter gets asked for id but then it does baffle me how 3 twelve year old’s in front of me manage to get into what seems like an adult nightclub. [...]

Cheap Friday Nights out in London
I have been asked to organise a cheap night out in London for next Friday night and given my knowledge of Bars, Pubs and clubs in London I should be able to manage this event, even on a budget. For £30 per person (and with the intention of going out to get [...]

Off the Wall Bar
Off the Wall bar in Chester is a popular venue, somewhat more down to earth than the other pubs in the area. Reminding me somewhat of a pub with a disco feel to it, Off the Wall comes complete with sleazy guys, pop music. Carpets, where wooden dance floor should be and [...]

Brasshouse Bar
A surprisingly large student bar with cheap food cheap drinks and tunes all day long. Although this combination of so many positive attributes in the student pub checklist does get this place very busy later on . It is just a hypothesis that this venue brings a big bulk of student population but judging [...]

The Blue Posts
This perky corner pub is larger inside that you would first imagine upon approach. Inside it offers some interesting points such as attractive bar staff, food, darts(probably the closest darts offering to Oxford Street), a bar upstairs and best of all the independent air of yet another Samuel Smith’s bar. Like the others in the chain, even [...]

The place has several odd rooms dotted about leading one around in a complex labyrinth of lounges, seated areas [...]

The Champion
Fitzrovia’s finest among its wild range of drinking outlets, this glamorous pub is bathed in the most unique display of stained glass as walls that you will ever see. It is a small local pub but the light pours in a way which produces a very surreal very cool effect. The pub is semi [...]

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 [...]

Edward’s Bar
A short trot from the home of the Beatles this supposed chain bar is a nice little gem hidden in these old fashioned scouse back-roads. The bar is of medium sized with the venue itself based on two floors with a small galley where the upstairs overlooks the down. Music is played in here [...]
