Review of Plan B

06 Nov 07, 13:00

Great atmos, rare groove 4*

Ventured back into clubland here at the weekend after jeez knows how many years, for Take It To The Bridge and Norman Jay and had a great time.

Ok so the fact that my boyfriend knew most of the crew (via his DJ brother) helped, but thought this club was really nice, not too big and a really fantastic atmosphere. We were mostly in the intimate downstairs room (top tip for the ladies, there was no queue for the loo behind the DJ booth in there!)

Piled out at 3ish and jumped on the night bus home no hassle. Good clean fun, but pity no fruit for cocktails downstairs (boo, as we had comps to use, yay as it meant my hangover was not as evil as it could have been). I'd recommend Take it to the Bridge for a great night of rare grooves and go to this place again for sure.

Review of Gordons Wine Bar

Love this place, stop telling everyone 5*

It's still great and I still can't believe it passes health and safety but am glad it does. Just wish people would stop telling everyone about it...oops there I go. Nice in the summer but really comes into its own as an autumn winter treat. And now you can actually see inside as the clouds of smoke have gone, hope they don't think to clean it though, I suspect the walls are 75% nicotine by now.

Surely London's greatest wine bar, there's nowhere else like it I'll be bound. Now shhhh!

Review of Nordic Bar

Great cocktails, full of scandinavians 4*

Ok I meant that the bar is full of London-based Scandinavians not the cocktails, naturally.

This is a cool dark groovy little bar with fantastic cocktails. The mixologist (yes, I know!) behind the bar is a guy I booked for the inhouse xmas parties at a place where I used to work and he is a genius...so naturally the drinks here are fab too. Can't remember how expensive but you know that's the way with cocktails...

The hint is in the name - this is a good place to do a bit of Swede, Fin, Dane, Norwegian (and probably Icelander) ogling or flirty pillage / plundering if that's your kind of thing. As a non-Scandinavian I've never felt unwelcome by the way. Nice place.

Best thing about where I live Broadway Market and Columbia Road, Victoria Park and my studio, the great transport links and that it's not as up itself as Hoxton (yet).
Worst thing about where I live The property prices are too high for mere mortals. Darn those city types and their bonuses spent on buy-to-lets.

More about me A painter into objects, words and buildings. Sensible dayjob, doing corporate words and pictures, necessitated by the scarcity of rich art patrons in this town. Pretty mad about recycling and making things grow.
