LONDON BARS
LAB BAR
12 Old Compton Street Street, London W1D 4TQ // 020 7437 7820
  • Nearest tube - Leicester Square
  • Generally the bar staff are wankers, but if you are happy to wait half an hour for a cocktail when nobody else is waiting it's the place to be. We recommend you send a lady to the bar - chances are she'll get served quicker!
  • MASH
    19-21 Great Portland Street, London W1W 8QB // 020 7637 5555
  • Nearest tube - Oxford Circus
  • Has a late license and free entry, other than that the bar staff are rude wankers and most of the clientele are fuckwits. In it's favour they do sometimes play some great music.
  • MATCH BAR
    37-38 Margaret Street, London W1G 0JF // 020 7499 3443
  • Nearest tube - Oxford Circus
  • Quite a chilled bar, probably one for the first date.
  • MEZZO
    100 Wardour Street, London W1F 0TN // 000
  • Nearest tube - Tottenham Court Road
  • Perhaps the latest license in Soho (4am). No door charge, no anal dress code and even though it's a Conran bar the price of drinks seems quite reasonable.
  • SIX (6) DEGREES
    56 Frith Street, London W1D 3JN // 020 7734 8300
  • Nearest tube - Leicester Square tube
  • Seems to be a nice, cool little bar.
  • THE MARKETPLACE
    11 Market Place, London W1 8AH // 020 7079 2020
  • Nearest tube - Oxford Circus
  • Rammed with media folk when the sun comes out. Not too bad a bar mind.
  • THE SOCIAL
    5 Little Portland Street, London W1W 7JB // 020 7636 4992
  • Nearest tube - Oxford Circus
  • Vodka Red Bull, Fish Finger sandwiches - Love it...
  • THE FAMOUS THREE KINGS PUB
    171 North End Road, London W14 9NL // 020 7603 6071
  • Nearest tube - West Kensington
  • Brilliant for any kind of telivised sport you could ever imagine, and then some more. Cheap drinks with good cheap, wholesome pub grub.
  • THE TOWNHOUSE
    31 Beauchamp Place, London SW3 1NU // 020 7589 5080
  • Nearest tube - Knightsbridge
  • I nearly shit myself when I was charged £9 for a Mojito. Very small and far too expensive, but if you're going to drink in Knightsbridge what do you expect!?
  • ZAKUDIA
    River Level, 2a Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 9HA // 020 7021 0085
  • Nearest tube - Mansion House
  • Amazing views, amazing atmosphere and without a doubt the best cocktails I've come across in London - you have to go to this place, oh and you have to try the Russian Roulette.
  • ZINC BAR
    1 Farm Lane, Fulham, London SW6 1BE // 020 7386 2250
  • Nearest tube - Fulham Broadway
  • Another Conran bar with reasonable priced drinks. I would suggest going here for pre-club drinks if you want to avoid the shit bars and pubs occupied by every man and his dog.

    BRIGHTON & BURGESS HILL BARS
    BARCENA
    37-39 Church Road, Burgess Hill // 01444 247865
  • Nearest station - Burgess Hill BR
  • Crap name and when I went in there crap drinks served at London prices - in this place?!
  • BAR JELLY
    4 Church Road, Burgess Hill // 01444 239457
  • Nearest station - Burgess Hill BR
  • Funky little bar for a town with not much going on.
  • CHECKERS NIGHTCLUB
    31 The Martlets, Burgess Hill // 01444 235606
  • Nearest station - Burgess Hill BR
  • Checkers, Hand-jobs, whatever this place is called these days avoid it at your peril. I can understand paying £10 getting in to The End or maybe the Concorde 2 but not this shit hole. They even have a bloody dresscode! The only reason you'll end up here is when you're off your tits and looking for some more booze - nowhere else has a late license in this town, so this is going to have to be your last resort.
  • GREENS
    62 West Street, Brighton BN1 2RA // 01273 778579
  • Nearest station - Brighton BR
  • Quite cool. Owned by the company that seems to own nearly every bar in Brighton. Like many of the places on the coast it's over-riden by chavs these days.
  • MOOCH @ 76
    76 Church Walk, Burgess Hill // 01444 244888
  • Nearest station - Burgess Hill BR
  • POLAR CENTRAL
    11-12 Queens Road, Brighton BN1 3WA // 01273 325793
  • Nearest station - Brighton BR
  • A good pre-club bar. Also good 'cos there are slack doormen, so sneaking in your own mixers is nice and easy and will save you a packet.
  • PO NA NA'S
    Unit 2, 75-79 East Street, Brighton BN1 1NF // 01273 777904
  • Nearest station - Brighton BR
  • More of a club than a bar, but I love this place. Great music, great atmosphere - thumbs up!
  • THE SHARK BAR
    57 West Street, Brighton BN1 2RA // 01273 822555
  • Nearest station - Brighton BR
  • Quite a cool pre-club bar with nice cocktail bar downstairs. As with Greens chances are it will be over-ridden with chavs.
