G.A.Y Bar

A very popular bar in the heart of London’s Soho but of course the flagship for the gay life and quite the culture shock for those who would normally drink in their local. GAY has strict door policies and members of our group fake being gay by standing hand in hand to ensure entry. [...]

Woodhey House Hotel Bar

At first sight, I arrive in Hooton at around 10pm one Friday evening to find the bar closed. Disappointed but ready for the day to come I ignore and return back to the hotel the following evening. The bar is alive with the 60th birthday party of someone present. At kids are [...]

There is nothing more irriating than going to a bar and then years later not having a clue what the bar was called or even being very sure where it was. Basically while working for rather prestigious internet company, we arrived at this venue in a black cab at an extrance that was literally [...]

Outside of the rougher select of the guild hall bar crawl is the Lloyd’s bar, a far cry from the wetherspoons mentality and its sister bar down the road. the entrance is similar to that of a popular club, stiff bouncers and a staircase ascends into the venue. walking past a few empty [...]

The Venue - Leicester Student Union Bar

The Leicester student union is, like most other student unions up and down the country- in dire need of a face-lift. The central hall by which the front entrance deposits its entrants is a large school like assembly hall with slippery floors and a big stage at the front [...]

Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen

As far as I have always known, the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen has been a very popular venue and notoriously difficult to get into on a Friday night, unfortunately the same cannot be said for a Monday night which is when I finally managed to bypass any sign of a crowd [...]
