Jake’s Bar, in Leeds, “has long been renowned for the quality and selection of our cocktails and mixed drinks.” They also do a selection of bar snacks and platters to share which are a bit random for bar snacks – ‘thinly sliced ox heart’ anyone? We haven’t visited Jake’s Bar but we have found out that it is…
Sorry we tweeted that Horse & Groom had 2.5 BBS Ticks – should be 1.5 BBS Ticks & provisional!! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The Horse & Groom is a bar in Shoreditch and is “one of the leading electronic music destinations in the area.” They have a Thursday to Sunday music program and have a 4am drinking and…
Ziloufs is a cosy and cool cocktail bar in ‘the nicer end of Islington’ (their words not ours). The bar team, under the guidance of Niall Downey – who used to work at Ottolenghi’s NOPI – strive to find the perfect way to mix your drink. They focus on making up new drinks as well as…

The New Ellington is a hotel in Leeds but we are only reviewing the bar and restaurant. A friend of Blue Badge Style, Danni, has been there but we called up to confirm and get more details about the disabled access and facilities. We managed to find out that the entrance of the hotel has 2 steps…
The Maven Bar is in Leeds and is a “characteristic cocktail lounge with a pre-Prohibition look & feel but with a twist.” We haven’t been to The Maven Bar but we gave them a call only to find out that their disabled access isn’t so great… The bar is upstairs and there is no way of getting…
I keep forgetting to write this review and I don’t know why as I had a great night out at Bubbledogs, in Charlotte St., London. They serve exactly what you’d think champagne – direct from growers so there are some unusual and very good bottles of ‘poo’ – and hotdogs – which were fine but…
