Londinum... where to go?

[Thorwyn]

I`m in London this weekend. Will be on a seminar/workshop most of the time, but will eventually get some spare hours to go out and have a drink or two with my colleagues.
Any recommendations for cool pubs/bars? I know there´s an army of pubs in London, but maybe someone here got a secred tip or something.

which area of london you mostly around?

The hotel is somewhere between Somers Town and St. Pancras.

What sort of places are you looking for ?

Do you wanna dress up smart ?
Do you wanna go for a sit down meal ?
Just a regular pub ?
Are you on a mission to pull women ?
Club ? Lounge Bar ?

 

[Thorwyn]

I never dress up smart... I don´t even own an suit

Looking for a place to hang out, get drunk, chat to female human living beings and listen to good music. So any cool scene pub should do.

Islington is a really nice area to drink in:

Also I highly highly recommend going to Hoxton Square. Its a 5 minute cab journey from Liverpool Street Station. You'll LOVE it there !!!

In the same area as Hoxton Square, is Shoreditch - loads of GREAT places around Old Street:

"Square still attracts a devoted following of art students, ethnogeeks, Japanese fashion brats and an assorted (and motley) selection of scruffily dressed locals."

Perfect! lol

thanks!

The women in Hoxton Square are drop dead gorgeous. The whole area of Shoreditch / Old Street / Hoxton Square is alive and buzzing big time on Friday & Sat Nights.

I used to go to Tiger Tiger, but to be honest wouldn't go there anymore. Too chavvy. Far too many better places to go to without attitude or drunken 16 years olds starting fights.
