4 Carlisle Street, Soho, London W1D 3BJ

Candy Bar

4 Munchkin last updated on 17-02-2009:

A good gay girls night out in London will invariably result in an adventure to Soho and why there what good excuse can there be not to go to The Candy Bar. Located on Carlisle Street, a stone’s throw away from Tottenham Court Road, this seemingly ladies only venue is the perfect place to start, spend or end your night. Upstairs in the spacious bar you can find a pool table and down the stairs the less casual entertainment is found in the form of a dance floor and strip poles (Be sure to catch the strippers on a Saturday night). On the middle floor is the calmer area to sit, drink and chat without the usual cheesy tunes which are pumped out at the ten thousand decibel rate at other Soho haunts. You might sometimes incur a charge to enter, although never over a fiver, and your big gay man friends can even join you too if you’re in a big enough group. Definitely a great place to spend an evening with friends but the friendly crowd also seems to allow for a night ventured out alone to end less lonely.

115 South Street, London EN3 4PX

The Falcon

4 Munchkin last updated on 30-01-2009:

This local pub in Ponders End is as interesting as it is original. There’s usually a friendly crowd inside and it happens to be positioned right next to Robbins Hall (University halls of residence) so a young group can often be found in there. The decor gives you the impression you’re a couple of decades behind but the messy, aged atmosphere has a very homely feel to it. The drink prices are pretty good too with a pint only setting you back 1.99, also the landlord often lets punters use the pool table for free if there’s a large group of you! The welcoming bar staff and the comortable environment definitely make this a decent place to chill out and have a few beers on your way home from a long day.

Clifton Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1 7GX

The Junction

5 Munchkin last updated on 05-12-2007:
Since the early 90's The Junction has been growing as one of the most popular venues in the area. Now recognised as a centre of excellence the space offers music, theatre, comedy, dance and club nights at a great price. The Junction hosts easily a thousand events each year so it's obvious to note there is something for everyone. In recent years other leisure areas have developed in the same location on Clifton Road, meaninga day out in Cambridge can be had in this cosy space alone, no need to head into the busy City Centre. The club nights definitely have to be the best aspect of The Junction, from classic disco's to Dot Cotton - the monthly gay night, they normally run well into the early hours and offer a wide range of entertainment and drinks. A definitive place to start, spend and end your evening.

2 Norfolk Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1 2LF

Man On The Moon

4 Munchkin last updated on 05-12-2007:
The Man On The Moon is one of Cambridge's friendliest Pubs which most nights double's up as a gig venue. The back room is where the music emanates from and the people found in there are as varied as the selection of music offered. The more structured nights comprise of Punk Rock to Jazz whereas Open Mic night on the last Tuesday of every month offers aspiring musicians/poets a chance to get up on stage. Music isn't all The Moon has to offer, with a wide screen TV up front and a pool table there's a place to relax in a quieter atmosphere if the music's not to your taste. Food is also served at most points during the day although drink prices often reach as much as £3.00 a pint. Definitely a great place to start your evening.

86 King Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB1 1LN

King Street Run

Definitely a place for the locals. Everyone in this pub undoubtedly knows each other and many are recognisable by the graffiti scrawled on the walls, doors and the occasional ceiling throughout. The drink prices are pretty standard but the limited smoking area outside makes it difficult to move when you go in search of nicotine. The backward doors, wonky floors and various items of furniture, which can more commonly be found attached to the ceiling instead of on the floor make for an initial source of amusement, after your 7th or 8th drink you might find yourself wanting somewhere to sit over something to look at. Overall an interesting place to drink and definitely one of Cambridge's more unconventional watering holes.
