Chapter One Bar
Chapter One bar looks relatively boring from the outside but unlike most one the strip this one has a rather grumpy looking bouncer outside but he lets us in with a smile and past a small entrance room we make our way past a second door into the body of the venue. There is a lot to look at; [...]

The Trafalgar Hotel Roof Terrace Bar
Separate from the Rockwell bar a few stories down, this wonderful rooftop experience is breathtaking, especially under the twinkling of the Lights of central London. Entry costs around five pounds at a small desk in a reception area of the hotel. The lifts, (lit up with neon blue) then take [...]

Crabwell Manor Hotel Bar
Standing up at the bar in some kind of badly fashioned queue, in a room that feels much like the clubhouse of a golf club, the much talked about Bar at Crabwell Manor House Hotel in Chester is embarrassing, degrading and for lack of a better word, appalling. The selection behind the [...]

The Assembly House Pub
A rather grand pub just a very brisk walk away from Kentish Town tube station, a location that one might assume was just home to small Irish pubs. In fact the Assembly house has very high ceilings with its hall like interior, bright with long windows through which the light is [...]

Bbar Bar and Restaurant
Sitting on what can only be described as a nightmare junction for pedestrians is Bbar. From outside Bbar looks like a small but comfortable and cosy dining room. However it is secretly a very nice bar to behold. Head inside and you will be led down some steps into a darker but [...]

The Royal George Pub
Gazing down the odd streets off of Charing Cross Road one happens upon a dead-end cul de sac with fairy lights, busy after work drinkers filling the street and much mayhem. Here lives the Royal George, a rather old fashioned name for what is not a pub but a bar. The venue [...]

This is a Bar (previous called Low Life)
Not the sort of location you’d expect to find a new-wave, underground, very trendy bar but beleive it or not, one does sit here. The name of the venue has been in dispute for sometime with the owners and bar staff believing to run riot in some fashion, a veneu [...]

The Globe Pub
The edges of cogent garden do host a breed of rare and interesting old pubs but the globe just misses the mark for obscurity. Instead the lobe is a pub that looks small from the outside but inside is a decent sized drinkers throughout the day to hold a small crowd. Relatively speaking [...]
