I like it lots
About five mins from Leic Squ
Oh jesus christ no.I like it lots
About five mins from Leic Squ
Revolting plastic irish pub.
If you're after action, Tiger Tiger.
If you're after class, the American Bar at the Savoy on the Strand.
If you're after cocktails and cigars, the Cuban Bar and Cigar Shop opposite Itsu on Wardour Street.
yeah its great - its not that plastic! Its big, lots of people and good beerage!
It will be full of suits etc
depends - if you are looking for a bit more classy there are other options depending on where you want to go.
The Cigar bar (i was in it last night) is a bit of a walk..........but a good suggestion. The cigars are seperate from the drinking now......so you won't stink........

Yes don;t do irish bars. Cheers Soovy. Is the American Bar open? thought it was closed for refurb?
May well be - sorry.The Cuban Bar and Cigar Shop on Wardour Street is unbeatable for a class night out. It's called La Casa Del Habano in London.
Review from my here Cigar Magazine...... said:
La Casa del Habano
100 Wardour Street, London, lacasadelhabano.co.uk
A Cuban experience in the middle of London, which shuns the stuffy atmosphere of a cigar bar for a more Latin spirit. Annexed to a fabulous cocktail bar the like of which you rarely find.
There is a great range of cigars on offer, and it’s the only place in the capital where you’ll find the San Cristobal range.
Best of all, it has been granted a specialist smoking exemption – so you can smoke indoors, sort of. The idea is that you sample a cigar ‘with a view to purchasing’ larger amounts of it.
Best cigar Montecristo ‘A’ vintage 1998, £39
Smoking area Indoor
Varieties of cigar 20 brands of Habanos
What kind of crowd? A young crowd – including some famous faces including Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.

Picture of the cigar room here - the bar is equally gorgeous with ace cocktails and is seperate from the humidor so you don't have to inhale smoke. Why you wouldn't though I do NOT know!!!!
Say I sent you. The chilli apple cocktail is unbeatable, as are the mojito and the daquaries.
Enjoy, and have one for me, sir.
Here's a (small) selection...
