Le Beaujolais, West End (Bar / Restaurant)
“This decidedly french bar is well, french in attitude. A group of us wanted a few quiet wines after a lovely dinner at next door restaurant Souk Bizaar. Near closing time at 11pm, rather than a traditional "we're closing soon" comment, he decided yelling would suffice. Message taken. We left immediately. A horrible end to what started as a great night.”

The Gun, Canary Wharf (Bar / Restaurant)
“I visited the Gun on Saturday 22nd May 2010 following a stressful week at the coalface. This was my first visit but I was assured that the experience would be a good one having eaten a couple of times at one of their other establishments - the Empress of India near Victoria Park. However, this was to be a decidedly disappointing experience. Overpriced food and tiny portions were the order of the day not to mention haughty and extremely slow service. I was slightly confused given that the Empress of India is actually OK (aside from its peculiar Yorkshire puddings) but the Gun doesn't compare to the best gastropubs knocking around such as the consistently excellent Anchor & Hope in Southwark. All in all, an exceptionally disappointing experience which I will not be repeating. To add insult to injury, the 'voluntary' service charge of 12.5% was automatically added to the bill. This little act of sharp practice made the experience even more disappointing. This was removed when we asked but the presumption that I was going to pay this was certainly not welcome.”

Imbibe, Borough & Southwark (Bar)
“Imbibe Bar is excellent, I have been drinking here for many years. The Staff are all extremley friendly and look after you really well. I have started holding Events here also, and we have had an excellent time. The Drinks are great, and the food was excellent. If you are in the Southwark or Waterloo area then I promise you should give Imbibe a go......and if its on a warm summers evening you can chill and drink in their beautiful beer garden, surrounded by comy furniture and a pretty garden! One of my top bars in London, so I cannot recommend highly enough!! :)”

Canteen, City of London (Restaurant)
“I work near Canteen so I go in there quite regularly. I always leave full and satisfied but wouldn't rate it as my favourite venue. The food is good but I prefer to have more exciting offering on the menu. Still, it's convenient for work and I love Spitalfields Market.”

Cape, City of London (Bar)
“I’ve been to take Cape on more than one occasion and it never disappoints. I never have to wait for food longer than 20 min and if its busy I make sure I call too pre order because my brake is only 1h. The thing that I probably like the most is the staff. They always make sure my food is ok and that I get it they way I like it. The only thing I would suggest would be probably putting the candles out more often. It can get a little dark there sometimes. It’s also a shame they don’t have an outside area because the place would be 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend.”

The Barley Mow, Shoreditch (Bar)
“Are you a lush? Are you demon drinker? Then the Barley Mow is for you. A true pissheads pub. Everyone in there looks like they could be in The Pogues. Is that a blue flashing light? Don’t worry, it’s just an ambulance coming to collect another quitter. As an aside - great music policy.”
