The Sports Cafe, Haymarket

awful place - staff laughing and joking behind bar while angry customers wait ages to be served. no change when i went so after waiting a long time to be served i had to wait even longer for change. Went to watch cricket but most of the place was roped off for a private do. Short measures etc etc i could go on

The California, North Woolwich

well what can u say about the california - decorated by an incredible collection of boxing memorabilia and a pole dancing stage. Brazilian and Russian beauties writhe around while a odd selection of saddo's look on some paying the tenner for a private dance. ok ok i may have looked on now and again but they become boring after a while and u start to get annoyed when they keep coming around with their pewter mugs for another contribution.Classic east end sleaze and charming in its own way. Best to go 4 till 8 pm - they close up quite early when there are only a few punters left.
