The Lincoln Lounge, Kings Cross

This secret bar is legendary amongst the locals and those who stagger across it. Drinks are cheaper than most in North London and the service is good and friendly. Beers on offer are Becks, Staropramen, Hoegarten, IPA, guiness and Stella all below 3 quid.

The music varies - weekly it's normally the radio one live lounge album which is being played by every bar in London - so it could do with a CD change. However, the DJ's are all excellent with good technical skills. Both DJ's I've spoken to play a cracking set and Stevie (DJ and Local) always welcomes everyone with a warm greeting and cheeky grin. (You owe me a drink now Stevie - ha ha)

The locals are a mix of local office workers, media and the odd builder - but all are very warm and open to conversation and banter.

Toilets - I've seen better, but I can't really grumble.

There is some kind of library which I've never had a look through - but with loads of sofa's, you have to get there early to claim your seat for the night.

All n all - A cracking little bar full of warmth, smiles and good music!

Well done the Lincoln!
