Back to central London after and a trip to City of Yorke, Holborn for me.

World's your lobster from there but I'm after tracking down again a tidy Polish bar I found last time out. I'd had a sherry or two so can't quite recall it's whereabouts but reasonably central.

Also, also, we managed to get into a secret bar just off Liverpool St the other night and it was ace. Not sure what it will be like on a Saturday (lads/footy traffic) so suspect we'll struggle to get back in but will give it a go.

Please note: prior to hitting the post button, I've double checked for anything that could be construed as "Anti Semitic" and to the best of my knowledge it isn't. Anything deemed to be of a Xenophobic nature is therefore purely accidental or down to your own misconstruing.

When I used to work in Holborn an early round of vodkas in there on a Friday night would set things off....

Although if anyone ends up around Holborn then the Holborn Whippet is a must:

And, err, The Griffin for those who like that sort of thing.

Cheers Steve, that's the one! And The Whippet is indeed worth a visit too, forgot about that place.

I can't imagine what The Griffin is like on a match day evening..cough..

The Tattersall Castle.... floating bar on the Thames on the Embankment opposite the London Eye, although it is better in the summer as a lot of seating is outside.

The Polish bar has been running for years.

First went there must be 16 years ago if not more.

That's when Vodka flumes of ice were the rage.

City of Yorke is great but sells terrible beer. He could try The Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street or The Bear and Staff Covent Garden. Maybe you should have narrowed the area down a bit.

Personally i like The Commercial Tavern on Commercial street.

Commercial Tavern is indeed a great shout and opens up the delights of Shoreditch for a quick hop back to Liverpool St.

I’m not a huge Shorditch fan as you know but Sexy took me to a great bar once that I have never been able to find again. I also found a great old style pub there with Marlene but that seems to have disappeared, it’s probably a vegan cereal shop now.

No idea. The pub my mate took me in was a small bar playing House. The other bar was an old fashioned bar with a juke box and beer on the floor.

I’m not keen on trendy bars so I dislike shorditch. ABB is the polar opposite. He likes places with shiny things and lights. I prefer somewhere where you have a fair chance of being shot.

I've been there! With a mate before the Fulham game a couple of years ago.

Re the OP, really need to narrow things down a bit re themes and areas.

I've spend loads of time in the Lockside Lounge in Camden from my DJ days and it is a great pub with a pretty varied clientele.

However I also really like the Black Heart in Camden which most of you on here would prob hate!

There's a nice restaurant near that called AbsurdBird.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I don't know what I want I was hoping You lot would know. We are not into music or dancing but like drinking and people and randomness. Already going to have had a fair few at the game but planning on a full night of drinking until the early hours. Something including either good beers and pretentious cocktails. Just fun or interesting is good with people having a laugh.
