In London

Curt2000 · 05-18-2009, 06:02 PM

Hello all,
I'm in London for business, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good places to have a pint and sample the nightlife for Tuesday or Wed. night. I'd love to meet some of the London e9x members and I know there has to be a ton because I see a 335i about every other block! I’m staying in Kensington but can make my way around the tube.
Cheers,
-Curt

Upper street, Islington

plenty of decent bars and night life

Bar Atlantic in Leicester Square is a really nice place to chill out and have few drinks, you'll need a few bob though.

Porterhouse in Covent Garden is a fave with me.

Always busy and a great range of beers (for somethign different try Frulli!)

Theres a fair few places on that road too (Maiden Lane).

I love Frulli!!!
There is something that shouldn't be right about drinking strawberry beer, but it is just soooooooooo good.

If you want a decent meal with a vast range of beers, try Belgo's (also in Covent Garden).

I like Waxy O'Connors for a lively drink, and it's 30 seconds stroll from China town if you want a good meal. Navaho Joe's is also quite a lively place for a beer or two.

For those who havent tried Frulli... think of it as drinking watered down strawberry jam with alcohol.

Its brilliant - and im sure it counts as one of your 5 a day!

MEGA · 05-19-2009, 05:25 AM

I've never dared try Frulli, looks too wierd by half for me!

Might have to try one now...

BigDman · 05-19-2009, 05:53 AM

They also do Frulli at a Dutch bar called Da Hems which is worth a visit if your close to Soho

ed335d · 05-19-2009, 06:05 AM

All you girly types should try Kriek (cherry) beer - it's rather good too

Curt2000 · 05-19-2009, 06:16 AM

Thanks to all for the recommendations! I suppose Ill be having a go at one of them this evening.

If you haven't found this out yet, there isn't a shortage of pubs in London, many very good ones just around Piccadilly Circus.

zltm089 · 05-19-2009, 08:23 AM

You could try Movida for clubbing...and there is also Humbaba...A-lists clubs with celebrities there sumtimes.

But the real deal is going to Romford or Gants Hill..."experience" the Essex girls and night life!!! Lots of drunk girls eatin kebabs at 4am!!! lol

RCUK · 05-19-2009, 09:18 AM

Faces.... now thats the place to go to meet the ladeez.

Or if your strapped ... Palms!

Curt2000 · 05-19-2009, 09:34 AM

I visited piccadilly last night for dinner but was overwhelmed and couldnt really figure out which clubs were which...Great part of town though!

I'll stick to Guinnes!

Curt2000 · 05-19-2009, 09:49 AM

A lot of these places are located in essux, I donno if I want to venture that far, anything closer to central or western London besides piccadilly? All I have with me are my suits, so some place that people really dress up to go to would be good.

kgb1637 · 05-19-2009, 11:12 AM

Where in London are you staying?
