Review of Bar Rakuda
29 May 08, 21:09
Rakuda 
Its nice in here but as its quite compact i dont think it has that much to offer unless you can enjoy the weather an sit outside. Its certainly friendly enough and has a good atmosphere.

Review of Bar Bigwigs
29 May 08, 21:08
Bigwigs 
I quite like Bigwigs its busy without being all pushy shovey and decently spaced out tables. Its not really a romantic date night, but they do great sharing starters and the main menu has a lot on offer. The service is speedy and pleasant.

Review of The Union Rooms
29 May 08, 21:03
Loud 
If you can manage to get a chair and table, bag it and dont leave. I find the music area a tad too loud although people watching and them dancing if you are sober is always funny. Its nice when the suns out so you can enjoy a glass of wine outside. Attract a lot of younger folk at night time on weekends.

Funky Judge 
The funky judge is a relaxed place to get food and drink, its a modern little joint and does great lunches with ciabattas and loads of filling.

Review of B Bar
27 May 08, 19:50
BB 
Certainly packs a few in here, its over a couple of floors so you can 'lap' round if you want to do some people watching, or meat market mingling. Its friendly and up beat in here and usually busy on key nights.

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 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 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 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 Firebug
27 May 08, 15:07
On Fire 
Firebug holds a decent capacity and theres always a great atmosphere in here. Its open later than most clubs so you can push on til the early hours, its got a real energy to it.

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.

Review of The Terrace
27 May 08, 14:58
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.

Review of Bar Risa
26 May 08, 20:43
Its ok 
Its ok but thats it, they play a decent selection of music which is good, but the actual place isnt really my kind of thing. There are alot of young people in here and its known for being a bit of a meat market. You would need to be heavily drunk to stay in here very long. The best room in here is the one with the stairs, leading out onto the street.

Review of Bar Pravda
26 May 08, 20:35
Pravda 
This is just off the main road (Broad St) we only came in here because we were meeting someone next door in the hotel, its mainly locals or residents, but a cute little bar with lovely personal service. You wouldnt feel out of place drinking alone here whilst you waiting for someone.

Review of The Slug and Lettuce
26 May 08, 20:33
No Slugs here 
We come here for a brain storm and frothy coffee, its chilled and spacious, and the service is great without them rushing you off if you're sitting down and not eating. Good meeting place in the evening if you are on the looking.

Review of Pitcher & Piano
26 May 08, 20:30
Pitcher 
I think the P&P always attracts a similar clientele as All Bar One, its young and furnky and full of after work professionals. Its a great little hang out, with both floors being able to hold a decent amount of people, so when busy it has that club vibe.

Review of The Sports Cafe
26 May 08, 20:28
Sports Watcher Paradise 
Im not really a sports fan, but the atmoshphere in here just sweeps you away. Its very blokey but friendly and chilled. It does get really busy but that adds to the buzz of the place.

Review of All Bar One
26 May 08, 20:27
Great All Bar One 
Usually I would give All Bar One a 4 star rating but the location here is just lovely, in the summer people are sprayed out by the canal and its a real after work pull.

Review of The Panama Bar
26 May 08, 20:26
Panama 
The Panama Bar is just off the main road and offers a great night out. The last time i was here the waiter told us that the wine we were having was made from grapes only picked during a full moon, who cares if it was or night, we spent all night chatting to him and drinking the bottle. Great service.

Review of Reflex The 80's Bar
26 May 08, 20:24
Its like one big hen party 
If you are not on a hen party, when you come in here you will feel like you are crashing one. Its very OTT where dressing up like an idiot is welcomed and they play old 80's rubbish which im so over.

Review of Bluu Bar
26 May 08, 20:18
Dance the night away 
Get everything here, its literally your one stop shop, to drink, eat and dance the night away. Its cool and modern and clean inside with young funky waiters. The restaurant has a good menu and the food has never been a disappointment. Would totally recommend.

Review of Legs 11
26 May 08, 20:13
Legs 
Depends if you like bods getting their kit off or not. It has a certain reputation around Birmingham. Probably only worth a visit if you are on a group night out or with a stag lot.

Review of Mechu Drinking Dancing Dining
26 May 08, 20:07
Check the glamour 
I really like it in here, it appeals to the diva in everyone if you are on for a top night out. It attracts a certain type of person and if you are in the mood to play and chat then you can have a top night in here.

Review of Arca Bar
26 May 08, 20:01
The Arca 
Theres certainly a bit of meat market mingling going on in here, even if you arent aware of it. Its a great bar to be in if you are falling over drunk and theres a decent floor upstairs to move those glizy high heels, or dance around them.

Review of Indi Bar & Lounge
26 May 08, 19:59
Indi 
Indi is great for a drink around town, you probably wouldnt stay here all night but its certainly a great place to start. They do have one of those annoying women who harrass you when you head into the loo, which puts me off going to be honest.

Review of Bar Epernay
26 May 08, 19:58
Lovin Epernay 
So many great places in the Mailbox and this is another one, its the sort of place you can actually bring a date and have a relaxed time, whilst still feeling the buzz of a busy pub. Its definitley a more 'upper class' sort of place, or snooty if you dont like that kind of thing, its pretentous and i love it.

Review of All Bar One
26 May 08, 19:49
Forever All Bar One 
I know these are everywhere, but theres always something about an All Bare One, it attracts the finer more professional some would say snootier clientele but i think its a great evening out and fab at lunch time too when you actually stand a chance of getting served within 10 minutes.

Review of Malmaison Bar & Brasserie
26 May 08, 19:39
Girly Gossip 
Its so a girly gossip and catch up place, with the venue itself being very young and modern with a nice champagne cocktail on offer. Its a little more expensive than other pubs, but its what you would expect to pay for this style of bar and restaurant. Ive only had starters and dessert but i can certainly recommend both.

Review of Missing
26 May 08, 19:37
Whats Missing 
The only thing missing from here is your feather boa, in fact this place is mainly for gays and girls, who know how to party in a gay joint. Its very relaxed and make sure you shake your booty if you are gonna come here, if you are going to stand at the bar with a face on then go somewhere else. Great atmos in here.

Review of Red
26 May 08, 19:35
Red Bar 
Its loud and funky and has an extensive bar which sells my favourite blue gin, so a bonus for that in my books. Otherwise its just another decent boozer down New Street.

Review of Bar Academy
26 May 08, 19:31
Bit loud 
Mayb im getting loud as i do appreciate decent live bands but you can find bands here almost every night and they really pump out the sound. Some great talent can be found in here, but i find you need a few beers before hand.
