The place only does two beers - San Miguel, or Stella Artois. A bit like Sophie's Choice really, it's not a pretty decision.

I opted for the San Miguel and a famed Bloodshot, and quickly realised why only two horrendous beer options are required. The Bloodshot strips out your taste buds, and your beer is going to get necked in a search for fire relief. Now...I've consumed a lot of stupid things in my time, but nothing before that made my eye sockets feel like vomiting. Wow! I think anyone who fancies themselves as a bit of a spice fiend needs to come here and try one of these. Like the hottest Bloody Mary you've ever had, times 10, in concentrate form.

Anyway, if Bloodshots don't sound like your bag, there's 100 others to choose from. The bar downstairs is nothing much (it's painted ceiling to floor in black, what is there to describe?), and plays metal. The upstairs looks much better, but as we weren't eating we quickly got whisked downstairs. Seemed an odd way to run a business - sweep everyone out of sight (downstairs or in the back patio) so your place looks empty, but it's been around for ages, so must work I guess.

This place is hilarious. Went in with some mates and just went along with the whole thing, drank some kind of vodka shot with garlic and chilli in it - foul and at £2.50 a shot left me wishing I'd put another 30p to it and got a pint of Landlord at the Dog and Duck ... but nonetheless a comedy interlude, not as funny as Dr Gibbles smashing a rancid cigar like a yank tourist he insisted on buying from that whisky shop on Old Compton Street.

I can see some people would love this place. They probably didn't enjoy school much thoughbut.

If you like garlic and shots that kill your liver, this is the place for you.
but do try and get the crypt in the back, as the place gets really busy on a saturday night.
Give the mummy at the bar a Liver massage from me.
