Hairy Lemon, Dublin

sadly we can't review this bar.

The doorman wouldn't let is in. The bar was far from crowded, we were well dressed, not under age, not drunk and not wearing football colours, not a stag or hen night. In fact there was only three of us, two male and one female.

When we went to open the door to enter the pub, the doorman pushed his finger to the chest of our friend and just said "NO!", when asked in very polite terms why we couldn't enter he then just "NO!" and put his foot in the way.

Luckily we were staying at the wonderful hotel a few doors down, which not only has an amazing bar, but expert bar staff.

Maybe the doorman was having a bad day.

The Jolly Postboys, Oxford

This pub is starting to change for the better. The new landlord and landlady are making a real effort and it's making a difference.

Good service, normal but wide range of drinks, didn't see too many real ales, but the drinks they do have are looked after well.

This area of Oxford (other than the Prince of Wales in Iffley) is calling out for a decent pub and it looks as if this one is getting ready to be just that.

The Salisbury, Leicester Square

This pub is amazing, it's not a big pub by any means or the type of chain that would encourage large groups of people. So if you are on a stag / hen night or a big pub crawl maybe not the place for you.

Great service, a welcoming place for all ages and a wide selection of drinks.

It has the feel of a good local but in the heart of the City.

The perfect place for a nice drink and a chat with friends and long may it stay this way.
