Alibi, City Of London

Good Bar for drinks after work on a Friday night. Happy hour from 5pm - 7pm with the jugs of cocktails �9.10 and other specials (although only one beer at a reduced rate?). It's the usual expected local work crowd having a few cheap drinks before heading out or off home. The service is friendly and efficient with enough staff to cover the amount of bar space. I have been here 4 times and left about 8.30pm after the happy hour finishes and the crowd starts thining out. Music is OK too.

Walkabout, Putney

Hi All. Amazing how many people slate a pub where lots of people go and have a great time. The music is always a good mix of styles and the service is efficient. While there is not a large selection of lager, there are some very nice bottles in the fridge (I highly recommend either Speights or Mac's) Sure it doesn't sell warm ale and have 10 old guys sitting around complaining they have to go outside to smoke now, but that is not I look for in a pub. I'm a Kiwi and have been here about 10 times since it opened two years ago. I have had a good time on every visit and have never seen any trouble like fights etc. Sure the occasional person gets more drunk than they should and may be a bit loud, it's just more noticable when they have accent. I was here for Australia day with some friends last month and it was brilliant. It is also a good place to watch sport (you can stand next to someone supporting the other team without having to worry about getting stabbed - or is that just a problem when watching soccer (sorry football)).

Thirst, Soho

Spent most of last night (Friday 11th May) at Thirst and loved it. Got there at 5.30pm just before it started filling up. The Staff were friendly and the service was good and reasonably fast for a cocktail bar. The half price cocktails (happy hour 5 - 7pm) were awesome. Drinks were well priced anyway, especially for a bar in Soho, so we stayed on until about midnight. We were downstairs most of the night with the music. Really liked the illuminated sign above the DJ saying No Requests, a nice touch.
