| Highly recommended. Never any trouble, good selection of drinks, still cheaper then most other places, polite bouncers, good crowd, 50/50 male to female ratio. Good music, mixture of chart, hiphop and cheese. Always have sport on the big screens and if there is a major tennis/golf tournament on, they will often leave the screens on throughout the evening. Also play MOTD on saturday. and Tvs in the toilets. Basically it is a sportsbar that turns into a night club. Sportscafe in Haymarket should take note! Only downside it it used to be really cheap (£1.50 for vodka/redbull) but prices have doubled in the last 2 years. This is a pity because it used to be a cheap place with a great atmosphere, away from the bright lights of picadilly/mayfair/leicster SQ. But now its expensive, the edge has been taken off. Guess this is a perfect example of the recession. Have shut down a few bards (leicster sq, islington) and doubles the prices in their popular ones. Very average cover bands, who sometimes kill the atmosphere. Cheap(ish) drinks + good DJ + MOTD + girls = WIN godson - 4 Sep 2011 15:52 |

| not as bad as many walkabouts. you will get hassled by bingo winged aussie girls but its a good size and never feels that busy. not a bad option for an afternoon skiving work to watch the cricket westyw9 - 10 Aug 2007 16:55 |
| Cavernous, characterless dive. There is one redeeming fauture - if you're in there of an afternoon, there's a good chance you'll see mice. beardhorse - 9 May 2007 15:37 |
