Freud Bar, Covent Garden

I second to the cocktail heaven! Love the minimal decor. Coffee is decent, too. Whenever I've gone there, it has been super busy yet the staff have been in control. It's small, it's sweaty, it's cosy, it's a social experience when busy. I don't particularly like the area of Covent Garden so Freud is my must when there. It's not a secret or a hidden gem anymore, but who can blame - it would be stupid not to share a good thing.

The Reliance, Old Street

As someone mentioned before - it's good to have a pub in an area of trendy bars. Food not that amazing and there are better places around to eat, but serves its purpose when the cause of and solution to all life's problems - beer! - starts getting to your head a bit too much. And the beer was good. The interior would perhaps need a lick of paint, but then again it would take away part of the charm.

The Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen, Hoxton

Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen is one of the cornerstones of Hoxton Square and I am glad it is there. Yes, the service is sometimes bad; yes, I could moan about a few not-that-good drinks, but when going out for a night in Shoreditch I always pop in for one. Don't know why. I just do. And I have always left happy.

Roadtrip Bar and Deli, Old Street

Oh, I believe I can read "Pubs, bars, drinking..." on the header of this website - why go on about the bitter here if it's not only for pubs? DJ bars in London don't usually sell bitter!
Anyway, had a great night on the terrace, danced to the DJ, sipped a few mojitos and as a Shoreditch regular I welcome this bar to Old Street with two open arms!
Differently to the experience of the previous reviewer I found this venue clean and smelling pleasant, although the food smell from the kitchen made me throw my plans to diet out of the window and I ordered a pizza. Nicely cheesy it was. As usual, you have to give a place the benefit of a doubt if something goes terribly wrong. I'll be going back and if it's as good as it was last time I'll go back again.
