The King Edward VII, Stratford

Is Stratford the bastard brother of Bradford? Cos these places are both as grim as each other. However, after the olympic nonsense we will no longer be able to sit and have a quiet cheap pint at the eddie - it will be a nobby gastropub full of 3-wheel buggies and yummy mummies. enjoy the silence whilst it lasts.

The Big Chill Bar, Shoreditch

Nice drinks, but it's a bit too dark to want to sit in there for any length of time. There's just something not right about the feel of this place... it makes me feel uncomfortable being there. Nothing wrong with the music either, it's just the furniture, decor bits that are a bit opressive....more big tension than big chil...

The Vibe Bar, Shoreditch

I went last week and had a fantastic night. Saw a live band, with girl djs playing 50s rock&roll and surf records, all for free, and had a pint sat next to glen matlock from the sex pistols. couldn't fault it to be honest....and it was packed out - there must have been 200 people there
(they happen to stock my favourite beer - timothy taylor landlord which i have never found anywhere else in the brick lane area so top marks for that as well)
