Jam Circus, Brockley

I was incredibly surprised to see the negative review about Jam Circus by planchic as I would whole heartedly disagree with them. I was not born and brought up in the South East (I'm a South Westerner from Wimbledon!) but have enjoyed living in Brockley for the past 3 years. Jam Circus is a regular haunt for me, my boyfriend and our friends who also live locally. Though I have been away for the past 4 months, I'm back on Friday and will most definitely be stopping by that evening for a welcome home drink.

Jam Circus is one of the warmest, friendliest, cosiest and laid back bars I have ever had the pleasure of entering, with welcoming staff, excellent food and a brilliant fire. I would recommend it to anyone (and have done), and will continue to give them my patronage for as long as is physically possible.

Keep up the good work Jam Circus - you're fudging brilliant! See you Friday, where I will be happy to indulge in a glass of wine.

Three Sisters, Edinburgh

Though I have had a few good nights in here, it's not in my top 20 drinking venues in Edinburgh. It can be a laugh (especially when someone you are with wins 1 minute behind the bar! Painful but great!) but as mentioned in previous review, it stinks of vomit more often than not and is a haven for hen/stag parties. Not my idea of fun, but every so often it can be wicked. Try at your own discretion.

The Star Bar, Edinburgh

I genuinely love this bar. There is nothing that stick out that makes it so great, it is an amalgamation of wonders. Unfortunatley I only found it aout 9 months before I left Edinburgh but I make sure I go there whenever I am visiting my mates. Has all the board games you used to play as a kid (jenga, monopoly etc), tattered books, table football, a jukebox that plays for 20p a song - that alone should sell it! good selection of beers, not so good for wine but no complaints. Great for a quiet/boozy night which more often than not turns into a brilliant night.
