Anam Bar (Angel – London)

Opposite the where the Elbow Rooms used to reside at the top end of Angel (a short walk from the station) is the late opening Anam bar. Now for Angel a bar with a license until 3am is a wonder to find. Too often the bars in Angel close at around [...]

The Elusive Camel (Victoria – London)

Hidden well behind Victoria Station, I had previously heard that the Elusive Camel was one of the few pubs in Victoria worth visiting and the truth holds for me. One enters the bar from the side, the interior is a wooden dance floor lined with comfortable seating on one side [...]

Tryst Nightclub at the Wynn
 
Seeing a long queue of beautiful people in evening wear means its best to join the back of it. Those most attached to their blackberries are trying their best to flag down a lady with a clipboard in an attempt to speed up their entry. The wait is only a few [...]

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 [...]

Alternative Club

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 [...]

HMS President Ballroom and Bar (Temple - London)

HMS President Ballroom and Bar

From outside the HMS President does not look very much like a trophy ship, the pale colours of the hull are reflected sadly in the murky depths of the Thames with a dark sunshine-yellow funnel sitting drably on the roof. Inside however the boat is quite comfortable, a lounge reception and [...]

Bar [Me]

With 200 people in Portsmouth on a most wanted database it is clear to see why entrance queues are so long and why ever punter gets asked for id but then it does baffle me how 3 twelve year old’s in front of me manage to get into what seems like an adult nightclub. [...]

Walkabout Bar

Walkabout is a good demonstration of how rough the guild hall strip can get.we approach the venue and are genuinely surprised when asked for id on the door but the bouncer remains very stern, clearly not a laughing matter and one of the most uninviting venues I’ve been in.we head for the bar straight [...]

V Vodka Bar (Guild Hall - Portsmouth)

V Vodka Bar

A dirty rip off of vodka revolution with a cumbersome bunch of weird shots which frankly taste vile.with names like helter skelter and seesaw it was very difficult to identify their contents without one of the precious shots guides. Lovely a shot of grenadine, vodka and gin for a pound, it almost feels like [...]
