The Victory Inn, Brighton

Visited this pub last weekend and have to say loved it. There was a cheese and cider theme so a wide range of great ciders. My wife and I were fortunate to be sat outside and enjoyed a half dozen or so lazy drinks in the sun on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, both times for no less than 4 or 5 hours.

The staff were lovely and friendly too.

Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet fame was there Saturday night for an hour or so with some pals, drinking the same cider as me (Cheddar Valley).

All in all, had a great experience there and will definitely go back when next in Brighton.

The Big Chill Bar, Shoreditch

The last time I was in The Big Chill bar I wasn't with the right company thus my experience wasn't anything to write home about, and had some reservations about going back here.

However, Saturday just gone, with a few pals and one of the most enjoyable sets of music (Aldo Vanucci) I have listened/danced to for absolute ages, + brilliantly drunk, my memory of the place is favourable.

We only went for a few quite drinks from early eve', but it was a good 6 hours later before we left having danced and drank our socks off.

Wouldn't go regularly, but with the right pals, right level of drunken shenanigans and a set like the one we heard - a fantastic nights entertainment will be had.
