Review of The Cameo Bar
08 May 08, 18:43
My sister's favourite! 
I absolutely LOVE this place! My sister and I went in here and this is her favourite bar in the world. The atmosphere is really lovely, very dark and cosy with small corners where you're tucked away from everybody... lovely food, it's delicious and well cooked. It's a bit like an American Diner menu (burgers and chips) but all homemade. The vegetarian burger was amazing. It's EXCELLENT value for money and the chips are great. In the winter they have an open fire which you can sit right by to have your drink or eat your meal. It does get very busy on weekend evenings, it does get crowded, but during the day and weekday evenings, it's so nice and quiet but still enough people to make it nice. The staff are very young and friendly. They're also really informal so you feel really relaxed. It's not for students, but it is for younger people... it's pretty much the opposite of Malmaison, very informal. It's very popular with people after work as it's opposite the Scottish Civil Service building. Highly recommended!

Review of The Fat Cat Cafe Bar

Great food during the day 
This might not be the first place you think of if you're looking for lunch somewhere, but I went on Saturday and they do REALLY nice food. Plus they've got an undercover outside area so you can sit out. The staff were really friendly too. Definitely recommend for the day. I've heard it's a really good place to go in the evenings too... lots of tasty men of the rugby playing variety. Hmmmm!

Review of Chicago Rock Cafe

I imagine it'd be better when drunk 
Good God.... OK again, you can't enter this place if you take yourself too seriously. If you want a laugh at the end of the night, then it's ideal. Good for a laugh and plenty of places to sit. Better, I imagine, if you are hammered!

Review of Revolution Bar

Really nice surprise
This is SUCH a nice place to go on a Sunday like my friend and I did. We had a really nice lunch which was good value and sat outside in their garden bit at the front watching everyone go by. Inside is really lovely and it was so quiet when we went there we didn't have to wait at all. One thing though, and you may think I'm weird, but I hate it when bars have the women's toilets miles away from the bar, up four flights of stairs and in the attic like this one (not literally) but I could imagine on a quiet evening it's not very nice as you feel SO isolated. That's the only thing I would suggest they change. If you're like me and think about things like that, take a girlfriend with you.... also they have free papers so I imagine it'd be really nice to go on your own on a weekend and chill out during the day.

Review of The Secklow Hundred
24 Apr 08, 09:59
Staff are a little dappy 
The staff here managed to double book my birthday party - joy. I rang up on the DAY to confirm and was told they had no record of my booking, despite me having paid a deposit AND had a receipt. Luckily, because I kicked up a fuss, they put the other party in a different section of the bar, but it's not what you want to be dealing with on your birthday. Plus they weren't very helpful at all. The manager there at the time was a proper dragon. Having said that, the upstairs bit is great to hire. Music is OK and it's not so noisy you can't have a chat. Nice to chill out in during the day too

Review of Yates's Wine Lodge

Keep an eye on your bag at all times!
This is just an average chain bar in MK - it's OK but it's nothing special. We used to go in there a lot when I was younger for a little dance but the dance floor is really tiny. Plus I got my phone nicked so keep an eye on your stuff all the time...

Review of Isola

Always quiet 
You can't even find a phone number for this place online as the owners haven't updated any of the new information!
It's always been really quiet whenever I've been in and quite pretentious. The drinks are REALLY expensive and come in small glasses and it's really small inside. The decor is nice though and they do have a nice courtyard. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Review of NB's Bar
23 Apr 08, 11:57
Bit disappointing
I know loads of people who go here... but I don't see the massive appeal myself. It's OK but I'd much rather go somewhere a bit more like Society. There's a good outside bit for smokers but I just wasn't feeling the atmosphere in the place last time at all...

Review of Oceana
23 Apr 08, 11:51
HUGE selection
I'm not a massive clubber myself, but Oceana is amazing. Some of the people are quite grim and watch out for the 'boudoir' section post midnight when all the dry-humpers think it's really sexy to get it on infront of a room full of people. Tasteful! But other than that there's loads of choice for everyone. The Japanese bar is great to go and chill in if you've had enough of the Ice Room... plus the disco room is fun and plays loads of cheesey stuff. Not much room to dance though so you may find your face in many an armpit. Nice.

Review of Lloyds No. 1 Bar
23 Apr 08, 11:48
Pretty average
I'm not a massive fan of Lloyds - it's OK but definitely not the place to go if you actually want to have a chat with someone. Plus last time I went, the girls seemed to have difficulty in grasping the concept of wearing clothing. One girl decided to wear a TINY white mini skirt with no underwear which fully rode up as she danced - the bar got to see everything. She wasn't the only girl so keen to flash the flesh, so if you fancy a bit of a perve, then I think you'll like it. As bars go in MK it's pretty average but certainly not worth heading out to for a whole evening...

Review of Kazbar

Gorgeous
I went here ages ago and then again more recently with some friends - it was AMAZING. Great food, the most amazing atmosphere and although quite pricey, I definitely would say worth every penny. It's really relaxed and you don't feel like you're all crammed in having people listening into your conversation all the time...

Review of Lloyds No. 1 Bar
22 Apr 08, 11:36
Not a fan
Hmmm.... I'm not a huge fan of this place. It's fine for an after work drink but the food isn't very nice (my friend's prawns came back uncooked twice) and they weren't very polite about it at all. It doesn't look very clean either. It's cheap and maybe a good place to start on a night out, but I'm not very impressed
