The Trafalgar Bar
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 [...]

The Mayfair Club
New club nights come and go in the venues of central London but a universal truth is that launch night of a new club is the true test of any venue. Mayfair club just opposite the Ritz by green park station is an expensive entry underground club. Ropes and bouncers stand outside alongside [...]

Club 108
The below review was conducted when this club was still a members only club, today Club 108 is open to all and does not use a membership model.

Bar 1001
Bar 1001 is the epitome of an eccentric venue and is very typical of the rich tapestry of nightlife that Brick Lane can command. Bar 1001 is initially a two-floor cafe serving fudge brownies, pastries and cold alcohol by the can through until the early hours. The cafe operates a queuing canteen type system [...]

Off the Wall Bar
Off the Wall bar in Chester is a popular venue, somewhat more down to earth than the other pubs in the area. Reminding me somewhat of a pub with a disco feel to it, Off the Wall comes complete with sleazy guys, pop music. Carpets, where wooden dance floor should be and [...]
