Baraka, Watford

Much as I love this bar, It is a cool place to just chill, the resident "music man", who is usually on weekends about 3 ish is the reason we usually leave early. he is allergic to lowering the volume on his mic, and his singing is f***ing painful. Too Loud....shame, cos until he comes on, they play a good selection of ambient dance stuff.

in fairness, he did sing Yoshimi by the Flaming Lips last saturday, so though he can't sing, he at least has reasonable taste.

Also, saturday, busy / matchday,
(ok, so the footiw was cancelled but thats another, very sad, story)...two bar staff....they might be cute and very helpful, but thats only when they finally get around to serving you...HIRE MORE SATURDAY STAFF>>>SHOOT THE GUITARIST.

The Sussex Arms, Paddington

Haven't been here for years but judging from Stevo's review, it hasn't changed much...

Used to live in South Kilburn and walk down here regularly, always friendly and welcoming, a great place for PEOPLE WATCHIONG on a summers evening.

Stanleys, Oxford Circus

On a recent visit I got into the Blackcurrant Daquiris..

sounds a bit gay but they were the dogs B******s.

Highly recommend a trawl through their cocktail menu.
Staff also friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
