This quote from a friend sums up this place:
"In the daytime home to the city's alcoholics, in the evenings their delinquent kids."

Generally full of barely 18s. They are 18 arent they officer? Probably the place to be if you're on the cusp of adulthood in Woffud

Modello Bar & Kitchen, Watford
Could be unkindly said to be last chance saloon for Watford's geriatric singles. Less pretensious than elsewhere of course. Decidely lacking in totty but at least its not up itself. Up for some cheese or a forty something divorcee then mosey along.

Twin of Barneys, St.Albans. Owned by painful social climbers who think money buys class. Not big enough to swing a cat in. Come here for your dose of parochial home counties snob.

The worst of Harpenden in one place.Arrogant and aggressive crowd, more money than sense. IQs lower than average age.

Despite being genuinely ancient, this place seems to love catering to the chav brigade as a tanking up joint before the antisocial behavior starts. A DJ plays chav anthems to set the mood.

Age old live music venue. More of a pub with a side room. Probably an underutilised resource so far as this poster is concerned. I have yet to go and see a gig here.

This place is described as a hangout for those who dont yet realise that the 80s is over yet. I.e. yuppies from days of yore. I'm not quite sure who goes in here but I certainly dont. If you want a comparison think Barneys but a bit older.

Ok so slightly older crowd than the Vintry but still suffers from being chavved up.A kind of mix between the Vintry and Casa in some ways. Which is not a good thing. Basically you get a young end of the market crowd with the pretensiousness of people who think they are cool.A DJ plays some 'appening choons at weekends from his decks. Innit.

Economy sized hang out for yummy mummies. Run by the same snobs as it's twin 'Billys' in Harpenden, they obviously want to attract the same type in this place as well.The type could be said to be 'Ive got money, or at least i want you to think I have'.The food however is pretty good American Bistro style fare. However,you wont want to spend too much time here if you believe being accessorised or driving a drop top doesnt actually make you more worthy as a human being than the general proletariat. Still, at least the place doesnt fill up with 18yr olds and it is possible to meet people here who are slightly more intelligent than your standard pint swilling lager heads.

The newest drinkerie in Town. This place has only been since around March 05. At first it had the atmosphere of a library at the weekends, now its rammed. Pay �3 or �5 after 9PM at weekends. Its non smoking which is great. Theres a DJ Fri/Sats who sits in a booth overlooking the dancefloor so the DJ/Crowd interaction doesnt happen which is a major oversight. The prices are Weatherspoon issue i.e. low. Anyway, in terms of atmosphere / crowd, its not as relaxed as O'Neills and it can still suffer from pretentious St.Albans disease with upthemselves tartlets thinking they are too cool to be civilised.The geezers dont seem to have an attitude its the women as usual. There isnt enough room on the dancefloor when its really packed. However come here off peak and then open fires and leather seats are very conducive.

The Slug and Lettuce, St Albans
Casa, hmm. Worth a visit to look at the women sometime. Personally i very rarely find someone interesting to talk to in this place. It thinks it is a trendy London bar. Actually its a posy pretentious hole with not much going for it. Its certainly dressy though, and some of the woman are worth looking at. Dont expect much soul from any of them though. Its pretty arrogant but its not as bad as some. If you're with a big group of 'trendies' then you might be ok. On Friday a DJ attempts to play up front dance music on Friday but it doesnt add much. The door closes at 10:45PM Fri/Sat.

Actually I have to agree with the above poster. The complete lack of attitude and aggression is really striking. I cant think of anywhere else with this kind of atmosphere. I wish everywhere was like that.

The Reflex, Watford
Now open until 2AM. Expect to pay �4 after 9:30PM. It doesnt really come alive until 11:30PM.
Great for mucking around, dressing up and learning to pole dance. Recommended.
