The Chelsea Potter, Chelsea

My perennial favourite pub in Chelsea because of its perfect balance of Kings Road vibe and traditional English pub decor and drinks menu. Service is brisk, professional and unpretentious from the mainly Australian bar staff.

I like it. So, I suspect, will you.

The Botanic Inn, Belfast

I went into this pub tonight, a Friday night. There was a female DJ. She was shit. Clueless. Virtually everybody left the pub during her stint. Notice to the owner: don't employ this shit DJ any more. She empties your pub!

I mean, Friday night in Belfast - and a pub that should be heaving is empty! FFS!

The Bridge House, Belfast

I'm told that this is one of only two Wetherspoons bars in Northern Ireland. Well, as a Londoner who's visited most 'spoons in London over the past twenty years, I have to say the Bridge House in Belfast puts all the rest to shame.

It's brilliantly run and has a really 'safe' atmosphere inside its huge environs - it's even got an upstairs area for special occasions.

Or maybe it's because Belfast people are just more civilised than us Londoners!
