The North Pole, Greenwich

After reading previous reviews about this bar/restaurant, after visiting London for the weekend for a friends wedding, me and my 5 girlfriends decided to come to Greenwich and experience this place for ourselves. We spent the afternoon in Greenwich visiting various tourist attractions. Before we knew it, it was evening time and as it was a Saturday night, we changed into our heels and decided to go on a little bar crawl around Greenwich. We started off in what they call the cutty sark area or the centre of Greenwich should I say. It was rather quite rowdy and after a couple of drinks, we decided to take the short walk up to the North Pole. Well in our heels, it most probably took a little longer than it would have done otherwise. Just as we were approaching it, we all agreed that if it turned out to be how one of the reviews explained it to be, we would catch the train back up to central where our hotel was. Well let me just say this, we didn't get back till gone 4am! It was a truly amazing night in there and if the lights hadn't been turned on, we would have stayed a hell of a lot longer! We were actually presently surprised as to how much fun we had that night in the North Pole. It had a lot to offer with 2 floors of music and 2 djs. Music was great. We loved the fact that the Dj upstairs responded to all of our requests too (unlike in some other places where they do so after 2 hours if ur lucky). Even though it was manic busy, the Dj said he would play our songs and he did. We were dancing the night away! We were also up and down like yo yos as we wanted to dance to both types of music! It offered music to suit everyone of all ages. Cocktails were lush, staff very friendly and helpful! What topped it all off was at the end of the night and how the staff were so helpful in helping us find a cab to take us back. They called it for us and said for us to wait inside until it arrived. As a group of girls, we felt so safe especially with it being so late and what with being unfamiliar with the area. Overall a top top night!! It was amazing! I will be sure to come back when I'm next in town! This time, we will miss out the cutty sark area and head straight to the north pole restaurant which I have yet to experience (sure this has even more to offer!) and then down to boogie boogie boogie!! Definitely 9/10 for our night out!
