Antipodea is highly recommended by Time Out so we thought we’d give it a go this Bank Holiday. It’s part of the Brew Café chain and “An all-day Australian brasserie that converts from a laid back Melbourne affair to a hustle and bustling night time dining spot”. Time Out said “Go ASAP, and book ahead…
The Mitre used to be an unremarkable pub on Holland Park Avenue but it’s now been regenerated into a pub serving seasonal food and cask conditioned ales. They have an ‘un-pretentious approach to service, where the main focus is making our customers feel welcome and comfortable’. I can concur to all of this as I’ve…
Lasarte is a restaurant in Barcelona with 2 Michelin stars. It is a intimate space with simple designs and murals inspired by Gaudi. Their website says that their recipe for success is a simple one. They just ‘work, strive, feel, listen, talk, taste, observe, thrill, improve, excite, think, imagine, inspire, decorate, pamper, reflect, research and work –…
Our Lieutenant’s Elaine and Max visited Phonox saying it was a great club with the latest sounds such as DJs Hunee (hear him) and Sassy J (a music lover, promoter and handcrafting artist.). It’s in the centre of Brixton and near the O2 Academy (here’s a review of O2 by wheelchair user Alex). Timeout says…
We intended to visit Foundation Bar on our BBS Bar Crawl 2017. We didn’t make it! However, this bar near Seven Dials in Covent Garden was recommended by DesignMyNight. It’s good for cocktails and dancing all night. They have a lift down to this basement bar and have a disabled toilet. They describe themselves as…
The Relative Lieutenant wrote this after a visit to Vienna and he thought Vienna was more accessible than he imagined. It’s very compact as long as you stay inside The Ringstrasse – a horseshoe-shaped avenue encircling the medieval centre. But there are cobbles!! Here’s his review of the Michelin Starred restaurant Steirereck and I’ve also added some…
Update May 2017: Eneko is very accessible (via lifts in the One Aldwych hotel), however, not the bar which is up a large winding staircase. The menu has somewhat changed and in the evening it’s not so much tapas but full meals &/or a tasting menu (which looked spectacular, if you’re hungry). The pork croquette…
The Shelbourne is a 5 star hotel in Dublin. It’s a Renaissance Marriott hotel and one of the iconic places to visit. The Horseshoe Bar is one of the best in Dublin and has been frequented by many a famous Irishman (and me!). As I remember the bar is easy to access but the rest is…
Update 2017: On our recent Bar Crawl for Disabled Access Day we tried to have a drink at Rules. We got in OK but weren’t allowed a drink downstairs as the bar license is only for upstairs. We would have understood but they kept quoting they were an old, Grade II Listed Building, at which…
