79 CXR, Charing Cross Road

pretty well empty on my last visit. the refurb seems to have attracted no one much.

i know they rely on their rep as a late opener status, but i'd suspect they are struggling.

Comptons Of Soho, Soho

full last night when i visited, but that was a friday night. the last visit prior to that was on a thursday about two weeks ago and surprisingly, this place, which used to be guaranteed to be heaving, was only one third full.

i can't fault the service on the last two occasions, but you'd never say it was an exceptionally friendly place.

Oblivion Bar, Preston

gay bar, friendly, decently run, but clearly struggling. they serve boddington's on tap, something i can never fathom ... and a bunch of the usual suspects, fosters, guinness etc.

honestly not a great environment for drinking. gay bars work mostly when they are heaving full, and this place certainly wasn't.
