Don't be put off by the pretentious look of this bar from the outside. For a start, it's the only one anywhere near to the tube station and secondly it aint that bad. It's a short walk if you take a right out of the tube and cross the road. Inside there is a flat screen monitor, proudly logged onto the Elgin website although it wasn't working on our visit. There was mistletoe hanging from the ceiling and cool lighting circumnavigating the entire ground floor. They had also commissioned a chocolate cake replica of the pub which sat next to the optics, surely never to be eaten. And best of all it had women! They were everywhere you looked.... a rare sight on many a MD night. Would Warwick Avenue be so bountiful...?
No comment!
