This week I went to 3 different places and accessibility has never before felt more like a mission from the pages of a James Bond novel (or maybe I was too caught up in the Sky TV depiction of Ian Fleming) First was a visit to the private members club House of St. Barnabas –…
The Punch Room at The Edition Hotel, Berners Street, London by friend of BBS, Ann (this was before she jetted to Cambodia & Vietnam reporting on accessibility via her ‘postcards’, click here to view.): While Fiona raves about the Lobby Bar in The Edition Hotel… I have to put a word in for the Punch…
Vodka Revs, the most over rated club in the world. There are constantly people stood outside my university handing out flyers encouraging you to go and get ripped off in vodka revs and listen to their mainstream music – you could easily spend £80 and have a mediocre night here. I’d rather sit in my…
Lucy our student Lieutenant is now resident in Cambridge and has sent this report of one of her many nights out: I went to Fez a few months ago to ‘Propaganda’ which is their Friday night, I’m relatively new to Cambridge and I was told its the place to go but I thought the venue…
I went to Lounge Restaurant and Bar last Thursday on a whim as somebody had told me that apparently there was a good live band playing. They were right about that – the band were a lot of fun! They had that ability to get everyone up and dancing. It wasn’t massively busy but a good…

It’s a great improvement and a pleasant surprise. The main south-facing L-shaped room has been thoughtfully decorated and furnished to…

So it’s got my interest especially as they cater for ‘casual dining’ (the new trend in eating out) with their sharing plates. Unlike other casual dining experiences they take bookings and you don’t queue. There are…
I was told about Libertine (in Winsley St. just off Oxford St.) a while ago as it’s one of London’s ‘Hot’ clubs plus it’s accessible with a disabled toilet – unique for a London nightclub. Access is via a lift to all areas of which there are 4: The ‘speakeasy’ style cocktail bar – Reason &…
The Frozen Mop Pub in Mobberley Cheshire, was visited by the American Lieutenant over the Xmas Break. He recommends it highly as the food is good and it’s largely accessible. I was bemused to see that their toilet is an ‘Easy Access’ one. Here is his very succinct report: The Frozen Mop is part of the…
