Barre Noire Montcalm Hotel

After spending a thoroughly romantic day in London with my better half there is the always the allure of having a drink in the hotel bar before retiring to bed and the Montcalm hotel was no exception. The Barre Noire Bar is rather a spectacle. Inside the venue is very quiet but [...]

St Stephen’s Tavern

In the pocket of Big Ben and the houses of parliament sits this pub, obviously a very old and charming venue which must have had politicians of all eras having drinks within its walls at one time or another. The bar sits amidst a small room with some seating around it and behind [...]

McCauley’s

I would say this is one of those bars you walk past thinking its a pub and never go inside. Uniquely it is one of the latest opening bars- especially for during the week, and they serve a vast number of cheap cocktails with 2 for 1 special offers. There is some seating with leather [...]

Cro-Bar
Dodgy doesnt quite meet the mark. Its a bar , it think packed with bikers and rock fanatics of all ages. The actual bar is like a 6ft cardboard box from which they serve beer in the can and a range of shooters. This is how dodgy it is: My mate Lcuy went to the [...]
