Review of Foxhall

Rough 
Traditionally known as one of the roughest pubs in Blackpool I wouldn't go here unless you really had to.
It was pretty grotty and run down but a refurb spruced it up a little. However unless you like fights, I'd avoid.

This is a large Scream pub on Euston Road close to both Kings X and Euston and so good for meeting people from the station.
Standard Scream fare - cheaper drinks with a yellow card, pool tables, quiz machines, footy on the tv and reliable but unhealthy food.
I like it in there though despite leaving my student days far behind.

Review of Dogma Bar
30 Apr 08, 01:08
Good
This is a huge 3 floor bar in Lincoln that you could use as an early doors bar, or a full night experience. I'm told they also do great lunch food.
We went on a Saturday night when there was a small 5 minute queue outside. Inside was really full and it felt a little bit like we were getting pushed about a bit. There's a massive outside area at the back which will be great for summer.
Drinks seemed quite cheap - a 4 drink round costing about £11.

Review of Frankenstein Pub

Monsta
A great student pub in Edinburgh. It's quite visually amazing with lots of floors.
I've not been here at night, but a daytime visit for breakfast was amazing and much needed when very hungover. The portions are huge and it's well priced.

Drink 
A chain pub that gets really busy thanks to it's central location in Angel.
They do decent food and because it's a big chain drinks aren't too expensive. They do some good deals with wines and even champagne before 7pm on a Friday, so do as most do and get there straight after work and stock up.

This is an It's A Scream Pub so its full of cheap drinks and cheap food - particularly for this part of London.
There's two floors - upstairs has some pool tables and downstairs you can amuse yourself with quiz machines and video jukeboxes.
A wide range of drinks are on offer but don't go looking for anything fancy. It's all the normal range of alcopops, beers, spirits and shots.
Thee's also an outside area with those big heaters to keep you warm on benches when you are having a cigarette.

Review of Northgate

This is a really nice pub in a residential area of Islington. The customers are all pretty well off slightly up themselves 20 somethings but the pub itself is really nice.
There's a large restaurant area and the food is pretty expensive for a pub, but i've never had a bad meal there.
Drinks are pub prices and they do a good range of organic soft drinks.

Review of The Litten Tree

drink
One of the most terrifying pubs I've been in in London. It's got a really rough crowd and this is particularly so at weekends when they have a DJ
A redeeming factor is its 2 for 1 meals at lunchtimes when it becomes full of people who work in the area.

Review of The Blue Room
11 Apr 08, 02:15
Drink
Blackpool's most popular bar with the indie / alternative crowd, in fact one of their very few hangouts. It has a very student-y crowd and has been popular in the town for ages. My father and his friends went there!
It's got lots of different drinks from normal bottled favourites to a wide range of real ales.
They have live band nights every week and often an alternative DJ. People go here before going to Jenx at Insomnia quite often.

Review of Number 3

Drink
A huge pub on the Norton Drive / Church Street / Whitegate Drive crossroads, and a popular meeting point for people before venturing into the heart of the town centre.
It's been recently renovated and has a very modern feel. There's a DJ and you can party there until about 1am at the weekend.
There's a small outdoor area at the front and a handy, but small car park at the back.

Review of The Retro Bar

Drink
This is a medium size gay bar down an alley close to Hungerford Bridge, Heaven & Charing Cross station.
It's frequented by a slightly alternative gay crowd, offers a moderately priced bar and regular theme nights. There are two floors.
One of the most popular nights is the Eurovision night held on the 2nd thursday of each month. But beware it's really busy and you often can't get in or have to go upstairs.

DJ spotting
This is a really nice pub about 8 minutes walk from Oxford Street. It's a Sam Smiths so don't expect normal drinks!
There is a large upstairs which can be hired out and a pool table & darts board at the back of the main bar.
It's frequented a lot by staff from Radio 1 so if you fancy spotting a DJ this is the place to go.

Review of The Chandos

Drink
Very close to Trafalgar & Leicester Square this is a good meeting spot.
It's a Sam Smith's pub so don't expect regular brands just their odd homemade brews! The pub itself is pretty big and full of odd designs. They also serve food till about 10pm.

Review of The Yorkshire Grey
10 Apr 08, 02:05
Drink
The Yorkshire Grey looks very pretty from the outside and it's a non tourist filled pub about 7 minutes walk from Oxford Street. It's also very close to Broadcasting House so it's full of BBC people.
It's part of a chain called Sam Smiths who make all their own drinks. I like the orange and apple fruit juice, it's particularly good mixed with a double archers.
If downstairs is too busy don't forget, as I often do, there is a small upstairs also.

A pretty nice pub located on the non trendy end of Curtain Road.
It often holds club nights and you can expect to hear some good electro music here. Prices are as you'd expect for a non west end london pub.

Review of The Eagle

Yum
This is a great pub about 5 minutes walk from Old Street station and on the edge of Hoxton. Tends to be a bit of a media crowd, but more normal than idiot people
Wide range of ciders and beers as well as normal drinks. Large outdoor space out back with heaters, people often also drink outside the front.
Food is nice. I like the big pie and the burger with maris piper chips.

Review of The Garrick Arms

Not Great
Often smelling of sick, this is located just behind Leicester Square.
There's a wide range of drinks on offer from ale, cider, WKD and really sweet, but nice Rose Wine. They also have Ocean Spray Cranberry in a can which is quite unusual.
Go only through necessity.
