I queued for over an hour to get into ‘On the rocks’ last Friday night. The atmosphere in the queue was pretty friendly and we managed to pick up a beer from the local offy (otherwise I would have been outta there!). Once inside it was overcrowded, sweaty and then queueing for the toilet commenced! Next, queueing for the bar!! The drinks were pretty darn expensive but the dancing was fun if you don’t mind being bashed about…... oh yeah and it was gay night…. didn’t even know until I’d paid my 5 quid to get in.

I visited the Geffyre Museum over the Christmas period where each of the rooms was decorated according to the style of the era. I think this added a whole new dimension to the experience. The corridor along which people have to walk can get pretty blocked because it is also the way out once people have finished their tour- be sure to go off-peak to avoid frustrating crowds.
I really enjoyed checking out the rooms and had fun with the touchy-feely displays. The highlight for me was the cute, great value cafe where I felt comfortable with a glass of mulled wine and a scone- I’m sure they do lovely food the rest of the year too! ;-)

You will always find a gaggle of Shoreditch punters posing around the door of this bar but don’t be put off. Inside, the decor is typical of the area, that is funky and minimal. On weeknights, Jaguar shoes is great for meeting up with buddies for a few drinks and at the weekends it’s the perfect place for a few drinks before heading next door to Herbal for a dance. The atmosphere is comfortable with sofas, chairs and tables available on quieter evenings. Drinks are not cheap but the bar staff can put together some serioulsy sexy cocktails.
