Champagne Bar

Heralded as one of the most luxurious train stations in the world and most certainly one of the grandest, Kings Cross St Pancras plays host to its own Champagne Bar, a tidy little booth opposite the platform for the Eurostar trains and catered by a couple of well dressed, well accented, French bar persons.

Mulligan’s of Mayfair

Mulligans of Mayfair is fine looking bar housed between the rich white washed walls of Mayfair housing. Inside the front step is an old looking room but with bright lights attached to the side walls. Tall tables line the walkway and to the left a downward spiral staircase leads to a Restaurant. At [...]

The Laurel’s Bar

The Laurel’s Bar clearly has a problem getting women in the door. The main issue may be the fact the bar has a sponsorship agreement with the Rugby club down the road and this pulls in some thirty odd over sized testosterone fuelled young men after a match. The attempt to pull the [...]

Potemkin Bar

Potemkin sits perfectly in Farringdon surrounded by ex-warehouses, manufacturing units and blocks that have not been updated since the 1930’s. Approaching the bar it has a mirrored exterior and looks in a little disrepair, in fact I wasn’t even sure if it was open. Heading inside, things aren’t much better, its 8pm on a [...]

Belgo Belgian Beer Bar and Restaurant

One of the most interesting experiences I have had this year has to have been eating and drinking in Belgo’s - the infamous Belgian bar and restaurant tucked away in Covent Garden just off of the seven dials roundabout. Inside, Belgos is an industrial looking metal chamber. We are sent [...]

Bunker Bar and Microbrewery

A so called microbrewery turned somewhat gastro with its slightly more upmarket sheek couples and big screens take on German drinking. The interior is dark but the basement is wide and has alcoves of interest including open kitchen and large tables with access during the day to a hidden marketplace. Bar service can [...]

The Phoenix Pub

A busy place to be after work, the phoenix seems to be yet another pub in this shady corner of Oxford Cirus with more character than every other pub in soho. The places is rammed with middle-aged persons and students, none too posh or common, some in kilts and trendsetters in what is [...]

The Bavarian Beerhouse

A total surprise to find this kind of bar in what can only be described as one of the most univiting areas of london. You enter through small doors and down a set of stairs with a bright-light-wetherspoons type entrance and through double doors into a small underground maze of lederhosen-wearing females with [...]

Bar Polski

This has not been the best decorated bar by a long shot and gets very busy very early in the evening. It is a bar hidden behind Holborn station in an alley opposite the ship tavern and is a picture of wide glass front with shallow interior, high bar stools at even higher tables [...]

Quinns

Kudos to any bar that serves ‘Sausage Beer’ honestly this place has hundreds of European ales and lots of novelty fruity delights on tap. A nicely decorated old style pub but large and popular with a whole manner of punters but it clearly lies in secret undiscovered by the cosmopolitan world. The bar was always [...]
