..in Kentish Town chatter recently - was in this evening with one of my girls, still a lovely pub but six paaahhnds ten a pint, unless you had a ticket for the lesbian icon singing next door. Anyway, ‘decamped’ up to the Bull & Last. |  |

To return to the OP, do you get reduced prices with all lesbian icons singing next door, or only with that particular lesbian icon singing next door? |  |

Aperol Spritzers are OK Konk, as it's Aperol, Prosseco, soda and ice. Just a long drink really and it looks nice. Don't take too long to put together.
Edit: - Forgot the fruit.

The word aperol spritzer should only ever be uttered by a w@nky director of a clerkenwell based marketing agency, when celebrating "the completion of a mega client contract"... platitudes such as "we've had a bumper week... pizza? Aperol spritzer? Who's in?" Should follow... he will also be sporting a blazer, nirvana tshirt and new balance trainers [Post edited 6 Mar 2020 18:03]

Used to drink in the Bull and Gate before heading a few yards down the road to see bands at what was then the Town and Country club - a fantastic venue back in the day. Saw The Waterboys there when their first album had just come out - what a gig that was. |  |

This afternoon, by sheer and unexpected chance, I stumbled upon an establishment which I’d not stepped inside the door of for thirty five years. I was blown away to rediscover and spent a few hours happily drinking and nattering away. Anyone else ever use The Spanish Bar near Tottenham Court Rd? Looked like it’s become well known, which is a shame because we never got there ‘till midnight, admission by tapping on the door, then heading downstairs to a small jam packed basement bar where we hunkered down until the trains started running or a 4/5 am Chinese meal.
There were a few other overnight Watering holes we’d use but this and the Wardour Mews were my favourites. | |

Bradley’s? Great little spot. That said, probably not been there in 20 years, either. [Post edited 6 Mar 2020 19:56]

Mrs R from Afar recently stayed at an historic hotel by the Thames, near Windsor. It was bed and breakfast plus we had a really nice evening meal, preceded by a pre-dinner drinkie in the bar.
On the Sunday, we were checking out when I noticed a "service charge" for the pre-dinner drinks, 10% as I recall. This was suspicious as we had actually stood at the bar to order the drinks and had taken them with us, from the counter, to our table, the wild-eyed radicals that we are. So, net net, we had paid over a quid for the barman to complete the arduous, nay, hazardous schlep from the optics to the counter. Honestly (seethe, fume  ) |
FrooPs is the new 'Historic' now.
Well, maybe not there but they did offer a really good Wallbanger back in the day but sadly, no beaver except maybe Friday's. |  | | |

Does the Spanish bar still have that old style jukebox up top? |  |
