Bar 2012

This small woody alternative venue could have been a cafe at one time. Upstairs at the back is a very small bar with bottled beers and cocktails. Low sofas and chiars fill the room with dark corners, drapes and curtains put up randomly with candle and low lighting sitting inside a room whcih the [...]

Sway Club and Bar

This infamous two-level club is blended with a  hotel entrance to make it look and feel up-market and prim. Downstairs is much like a traditional club - a big open floor with booths and small tables at the sides with a treasure-horde style bar at the back reaching elegantly from floor [...]

Akbar

Akbar is hard to find even in this metropolis of assorted bars and if you do find it, it can be a blessing for early drinks if your out of an evening. Its essentially a very chilled out moroccan bar with warm lighting from flickering candles, aromas of vanilla with light bassey music and [...]

The Central

Apr 2008 : The Central has now closed perminantly
You come through the doors of the place that looks like a sort of annexing from outside and very un-publike. The room opens up in front of you as a range of seating and a long bar to the right. Going to the bar I find [...]

The O Bar

My first impressions of this place as we approached the happy hour sign outside on the overcrowded streets of Soho was that it would be an expensive trendy hole. In fact it was not and I was surprised indeed- okay so when we got to the bar and happy hour which runs from [...]
