Review of Heebie Jeebies

This place gives me the... 
A cavern of a place, if you will excuse the horrible pun, that twists below the pavement of Seel Street and guarentees a cracking night out. The clubs many bars offer the usual mix of reasonably priced drinks (reasonable for someone used to the south) and a staffed by particularly nice group of people.
The music seems to vary quite a bit so check out the night before you head over. That said with three dance floors you're like to find something that suits.

Review of Korova
09 Jan 08, 10:04
Fun throughout the day 
Korova is one of Liverpool's premier music venues that hosts great new acts from all over the North. Since opening the bar, part owned by Liverpool's very own Ladytron, has seen acts ranging from Hot Club de Paris, The Longblondes, The Spinto Band and the Whip jump onto it's stage.
The bar is also home to a tasty cafe that serves stuff for lunch and bigger meals. Try the Jerk Chicken.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Korovian, the bi-monthly mag that showcase the Pool's brightest creative talent. Well worth a vist, and a read, if you are in the area.

Review of Oslo
13 Nov 07, 21:53
Slightly Prententious City Bar 
Oslo on Briggate will be a place that will divide your opinion. Some will see this as a pretentious bar in the centre of leeds resembling a science fiction film set. Others will see it as something a bit different with a great vibe to it. I'm in the latter and although some of the people here aren't the most pleasant of people, you can get that in any place you drink. I think its worth trying this place for a quick drink but maybe not worth staying there all night.

Review of North Bar
13 Nov 07, 21:40
Great Selection of Beers
The North Bar on New Briggate has a great selection beers behind the bar. Probably the best selection in the centre of leeds and probably one of the biggest I've seen outside of London. Because of this wide variety the place has developed a bit of a following and is busy pretty much of the time. It certainly gives the place an atmosphere driven by the buzz of young groups of people meeting up to socialize here. I think everyone who lives or visits leeds should come here at least once and see that places outside the captial can have something about them without seeming fake.

Review of Mojo
13 Nov 07, 21:35
Fun Weekend Nights but expensive cocktails
Mojo's on Merrion Street has a reputation for having some really good nights especially on a Saturday night. I went here one night and the first thing that hit me was an odd smell, probably that of beer spillt on a wet carpet giving off a nice damp aroma. Another thing about Mojo's is the expensive cocktails, although nice, are just too pricey too enjoy all night. As you can imagine then, there aren't many students here although there is a young vibrant crowd that do turn up. I'd only give this place a 3 out of 5 as a result.

Review of Beckett's Bank
13 Nov 07, 21:27
Stereotypical City Centre Pub
Residing on Park Row, Beckett's Bank is the name of one of the Wetherspoon city centre pubs in Leeds. It's a huge place inside probably exasperated by the huge ceiling. Because it's huge, it attracts a lot of people on the weekend especially when they do one of their theme weeks or nights like Halloween or recently the real ale festival. Nevertheless its a good pub and you get what you pay for.

Review of Angel Inn
13 Nov 07, 21:21
Samuel Smith Pub in Centre of Leeds
Tucked away down an alley, between two shopping precincts, The Angel is a large pub in the centre of Leeds. This is a typical Samuel Smith pub with old wood interior and cheap beer on tap. It's got a bit of character about it and the staff are very friendly but because the beer is cheap it only seems to attract people who you wouldn't want to take home.

Review of The Seven Oaks
13 Nov 07, 20:49
Good atmosphere and helpful bar staff
The Seven Oaks is tucked away on the edge of Manchester's Chinatown. Its got a good layout to it and some decent beers. I was impressive by how quick the service was and the bars got a great atmosphere to it. I think this place is probably best with a small group of friends, I recommend booking a table here for dinner if you can.

Review of Thirsty Scholar
13 Nov 07, 20:43
Thirsty Work
The Thirsty Scholar on New Wakefield Street has a terrific name for a pub. Its a bit dark and dingy inside and is very much a rock and roll on the jukebox kind of pub. This certain gives the place character but I couldn't find many drinks I wanted in here but the staff were helpful enough to find something for me. The atmosphere is nice in here and I could see by the posters that they have DJ's in on a weekend. I have only been here once so I cant say whats its like then but on first impression its worth giving it a go.

Review of The Sandbar
13 Nov 07, 20:38
Good Pub with Plenty of Potential for more
The Sandbar on Grosvenor Street has many great things about it. A good selection of continental beers (which I rarely see outside of London) some fine ales for those with a specific palate. Its got a relaxing atmosphere which is good when many bars in the city have the air of being rushed into drinking. The Jukebox seemed pretty good as well. All in all a good pub from top to toe.
