Review of Papa John's
27 May 08, 16:32
Papa Johns 
I love Papa Johns so much i even have their number as a fridge magnet. The Pizzas are nice and thin but with a decent doey crust and the toppings are really fresh with healthy peppers and onions on top.

Review of Tipoo Pizza
27 May 08, 16:30
Just love Pizza
Tipoo Pizza's are really lush, they are fresh and thin with loads and loads of cheese. They will do a mixed topping for you if you are sharing a large one. Great in the week when you dont have to queue as long.

Review of Subway
27 May 08, 16:29
Massive Rolls
I cant believe you can actually have a whole french stick, im not so much of a pig and go for half with hot chicken and cheese with peppers in an italian roll. The choice is amazing in here, its a treat lunch as they arent cheap, but they keep you going all day.

Review of Subway

Hangover Subways
I have to admit that a subway after a large night out does prevent a hangover. They put soo much filling in it theres no wonder, or maybe its all those chillis. The best sauce to have over chicken is Sweet Onion Sauce, its lovely.

Review of Country Casuals

Country Bumpkin
I like Country Casuals, whilst its aimed at the more mature market, they do have some great quality items, things like bags with lovely soft leather and work tops and shirts, really classic and expensive looking.

Review of Morgan

Morgan 
Morgan is very much like Oasis and kooki and those sort of shops, they do some great dresses for summer and going out tops and they are about the same price too.

Review of Etam

Etam
You dont find many Etams left, they died out after i left school, but this one is great for my friends daughters, unfortunately no matter how much i diet im never going to fit in anything in here again. Great 'now' clothing in tiny sizes appropriate for young girls,.

Review of Next
27 May 08, 16:20
Who's Next
I like Next, its not really fashion forward, but its great for your basic lines, and the fact they do a longer lengh and petit section is really good. Nice sandals and flip flop collection too at sensible prices.

Review of Oasis Stores
27 May 08, 16:19
Oasis
Thank god they finally got rid of that one large dressing room, so much better with individual rooms that are a decent size with chairs in most of them. The clothes are normal high street prices and well made.

Review of Miss Selfridge
27 May 08, 16:18
Missy S
Miss Selfridge used to be better than TopShop but at the moment its the other way around, on clothes. The accessories are really good in Miss Selfridge, like sunglasses and jewellry but the clothes are all made of tshirt material and hardly inspiring. Nice clean store though with decent changing rooms.

Review of Koko
27 May 08, 16:16
koko 
Is everyone a size zero in here except me?! Koko is very much a young person shop, with some nice stuff if you're no older than 20. It doesnt really matter about prices, coz you're mum will be paying anyway.

Review of Bay Trading Co
27 May 08, 16:15
Bay Trading
I find holiday clothing is great value from here, mainly because i wear the little strappy tops a few times and then leave them abroad. They dont wash that well or keep their shape, but some ideal summer bits that you dont intend on keeping for years to come.

Review of Insanity Clothing
27 May 08, 16:13
Insane
Just off Martins Square you will find Insanity. And i think the name is really apt, there are certainly some unusual items in here. Its not my kind of shop but worth a look if live in black and like heavy boots.

Dorothy Perkins is a nice sized store that has some great basics and fashion items. You can buy stuff for work as well as a friday night out in here.

Review of T K Maxx
27 May 08, 16:10
Search and you shall find
If you are good at eyeing up the rails and finding yourself a bargain then you are gonna love TK Maxx, personally i prefer the home ware, its fresh and modern and dirt cheap so mixed with your basics it looks expensive. Certainly and unusual shop.

Review of Envy
27 May 08, 16:09
Cute little tops
Envy is a narrow little fashion shop which do some great friday night tops. They are very much for the young and are mainly going out clobber. If its in fashion, then its in here. Its only expensive for what it is becuase its throw away fashion that doesnt seem to last or wash that well.

Top Shop
Mens and ladies fashions at really affordable prices. Very fashion forward with great accessories, the sunglasses, shoes and jewellery in here, especially the ladies bit, are really cool and funky.

Review of Barceloneta Restaurant
27 May 08, 16:06
Barceloneta
Like Tapas, and plate after plate of spicy sausages and potatoes arriving one after the other, if so you too will really like this place. We'd forgotten what we'd ordered and had so many dishes between five of us. The food was all pipping hot and really tasty. They even brought some little things for us to taste that we hadnt ordered and that made our night. We thought they went above and beyond to ensure we had a good night.

Review of Watsons Restaurant & Bar
27 May 08, 16:03
Watsons
I like being able to go out in the evening and catch up over food and not be rushed or hovered over by the waiters, so this place was perfect. Its laid back and friendly and the food is really good with great menu choices.

Review of Little Tokyo Restaurant

A taste of Tokyo
The little Tokyo Restaurant is lovely, with really good food and great service. Its just off the main road and parking isnt too bad. Its quieter mid week and easier to get a table.

Review of Sumo Bar Restaurant
27 May 08, 16:00
Sumo Bar
Sumo is great for live music and even better in the summer, when you can actually get out of the drink soaked walls and enjoy the outside decking. The Basement bar is funky and good for late night pushing on.

Review of Taj Mahal Restaurant
27 May 08, 15:54
Taj
The Taj isnt in the best area but the food here is darn good. The staff are extremely friendly and accomodating and its recently had a much needed make over, so its cleaner and fresher in here now.

Review of Mobius Restaurant
27 May 08, 15:52
Mobius
Mobius is a nice little restaurant and bar, i prefer to eat here and always reserve a table as they do get booked, if you secure a table its much more relaxed to enjoy a drink at the table rather than join the activity below. They dont attract riff raff either, so its proper shoes and everything.

Review of Babelas Continential Bar

Watch the world go by
This bar is great for people watching its in a nice location and is very light and airy. Its modern inside and has a nice vibe to it. They serve some very nice wines here that arent over a fiver per glass.

Review of Old Horse
27 May 08, 15:46
Family Pub
If you were ever going to take your kids to the pubs, this is a child friendly zone, with a massive garden especially for them. Its very friendly and relaxed but the sounds of children might just put you off if you are single and were after a quite lunch.

Dry Dock
Dry Dock - yeah try saying that really fast at the end of the night, comes out something totally different. This is a very young pub for the very young. Take ID !

Review of The Sumo
27 May 08, 15:42
Sumo Pub
I thought this was a little bit of let down after hearing so much about it. Depending on what night you go depends on what sort of time you have, they play live music here and have some open mic and dating nights here which is all a bit odd. The booze isnt that expensive, and at weekends there are so many other places to go better than here.

Review of The Quay
27 May 08, 15:40
Live music and Students
If live music and students are your thing then you've come to the right place. Its a sport watchers paradise with a new massive screen. They do diffent themed nights during the week and have live bands playing here too.

Review of O Bar
27 May 08, 15:39
Comfy
This is a very lovely intimate and relaxed bar, well upstairs is. So you can actually here each othe speak in here and enjoy the cocktails and wines without being pushed about. It does get busy so if you get a sofa dont leave it for anything.

Review of Loaded Dog
27 May 08, 15:37
Students paradise
If you want to borrow some books for Uni then come in here, theres bound to be someone on the same course as you. Its very 90210 in here, but way too young.

Review of Lansdowne
27 May 08, 15:36
Lans me Downe
A reasonably hip place to hang out, it still attracts quite a young clientelle but its got more atmosphere than some of its neighbouring pubs. Its relaxed and chilled and whilst modern inside it has a very low key feel to it.

Review of Varsity Bar
27 May 08, 15:34
Varsity
Probably because of its location its mainly a student hang out really. The very young frequent this place and I feel way to old over 30 to be venturing anywher near here. The only time ive succumbed is to watch the football and the rounds arent expensive either.

Review of Last Plantagenet
27 May 08, 15:32
Last Place To Go
Well the Last Plantagenet isnt the best Weatherspoons in Leicester. There always seems to be the same type of weirdos propping up the bar. Its not a bad pub, but there are certainly others, the plus point in here is that it doesnt get that busy.

Review of The Leicester Gateway
27 May 08, 15:30
Gateway
If you are a sports fan than you might really like it here, or just after pulling a decent rugby player then this place is also good. They show the football and rugby and its a realy grown ups playground with an always inuse pool table! Its chilled and quiet during the week.

Review of The Orange Tree

Orange...
This is right on the High Street and is known for doing decent vegetarian meals, the portions are certainly value for money and they do have real meat too. Its nice in the summer for a drink and its very laid back.

Review of The Polar Bear
27 May 08, 15:26
Polar
The Polar Bear is ok for a quick stop off or lunch time drink, but the students own this really, and unless you want colourful loud language, its best to leave them to it.

Review of Life Dance-Bar
27 May 08, 15:25
Life in me yet
The life Dance-Bar is not a bad night out, its now modern and clean inside and plays old school music alot, which is great for a drunken boogie. Its one of the few places thats better mid week than at the weekends.

Review of Time

Time for another
Really handy for the train this one. Its a decent sized pub with a nice long bar and long drinks menu, they'll shake you a great cocktail too if you're looking for something more girlie.

Review of The Musician Venue & Bar
27 May 08, 15:19
Differnt
Its certainly different in here and has some amazing interior. They are known for their live music and more relaxed atmosphere. Its not a hard core music venue and differnt types of music are on different nights, so check the board.

Review of Out of the Vaults

Vault
Not far off the main road, theres easy parking for this pub, and very much a locals haunt. It does what it says on the tin, and i doubt you will go thirsty here. Nothing special though.

Review of The High Cross

The High Point
Whilst this pub is a decent size and at weekends does attract the young party folk, its actually really good on weekends and family friendly. The menu is long and does child options.

Review of The Globe
27 May 08, 15:14
The Globe
This doesnt look much from the outside, but the food here is really good and their lunch time rolls and thick sandwiches are really fresh and filling. Its certainly more of a lunch time venue than evening for me.

Review of The Shed
27 May 08, 15:12
Shed load of music
The Shed is another loud pumping live music venue in Leicester. So dirty jeans and long here are welcome. Actually its more than that and the bands that play here are talented and have quite a following.

Review of The Rutland & Derby Arms
27 May 08, 15:11
Rutland
I like it in here, mainly because it doesnt attract lots of teenage kids, and the more professional and mature clientele find their way in here. Its a decent pub on the inside too, with friendly smiley staff.

Review of The Ale Wagon
27 May 08, 15:08
Ale
As you might imagine from the name they are keen on ales and do an extensive collection which does change regularly. Its not particulary trendy or anything special, very much a mans pub.

Review of The Charlotte
27 May 08, 15:05
Lovin the live music
I came here many years ago when Blur played, and it was a hip venue then, and its just continued to grow, with equally as decent bands playing live here. Its loud and not for the faint hearted.

Review of Basement Bar
27 May 08, 15:03
Down and Dirty
This place is pretty cool, and attracts a similar kind of person. Its open late and the atmosphere is good fun thru out, ive never seen any trouble here either. Can be a nightmare getting a cab home.

Review of Revolution Bar
27 May 08, 15:02
Shots
If you come here in a group its really really hard to keep away from the Shots on offer, halfway thru the night they always seem to appear, and those pesky chili ones get me very time. If you wanna make a night of it, then Revs is the place.

Review of The Original Four
27 May 08, 15:00
O2
Argh put your best rags on here for a top night out, its one of the best places to come if you like to dance to different types of music, theres about 4 floors to choose from and music themes and its really buzzing in here on saturday nights, people tend to come in late and stay late.

The Terrace
The Terrace, is one of THE places to go, with everyone making an effort and funking up their jean attire. It goes in waves on which is best, and at the moment saturdays have over taken fridays.

Review of The Fat Cat Cafe Bar
27 May 08, 14:56
Fat Cat
Fat Cat is a real towny pub slash bar, with modern comfy decor and leather sofas. It great in the day for coffee and lunch and by the evening its got a great amosphere with people just wanting a good time. This is an all nighter in here especially if you want more social than thumping.
