The Victoria, Camden

Warm weather, nice garden, but very bad condition of ale and lagers.

The Old Queens Head, Islington

The door policy in this place stinks so badly that you would be forgiven for vomiting on your shoes at 100ft.

A half empty venue ( I later found) on a saturday night, yet two guys get turned away because it's "mixed groups only". To make it worse, there was a group of girls behind us (obviously that's not mixed either) but lo! that's fine. So by "mixed" they mean "not guys-only". Wtf!? I though that crap was what happened in crap-house late-license bars in the 'burbs, along with "no trainers" and "no jeans".

Blatant sexism of the highest degree. If you think two guys is somehow an excuseable reason, I witnessed an extremely smartly dressed guy, alone, walking up (there was also no queue) being turned away for the same reason. What the hell is wrong with this place!!! Are they stuck in 1990?

The two witches minding the 'guest list' near the door also bitched feverishly to each other about other women standing nearby smoking or in the queue.

Hideous!
