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…
La Becasse is a “stunning oak-panelled restaurant” in Shropshire. The Guardian seemed impressed by the restaurant and said “If fine dining was like this more often, maybe it wouldn’t be dying out” We haven’t been here yet but we’ve managed to find out they don’t have the best facilities for those in a wheel chair… There is…
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…

Porterhouse North is one of the Porterhouse Brewing Company’s bars in Glasnevin, Dublin. It’s found in a former garage that has been converted into a quirky art deco bar. It’s a good alternative to some of the more central Porterhouse places if you’re not in the centre of Dublin. The main focus of the bar…
A couple of weeks ago we wrote an article about Deaf Lounge – a cool new bar in North London. Deaf Lounge is the inspired creation of Paul Cripps and Domani Peir who decided to set up the first bar that can act as a social venue for people with hearing impairments. The Deaf Lounge, which…
The Last Word Saloon is the sister bar of the previously reviewed Bramble Bar in Edinburgh. It’s a cocktail bar that, like Bramble, is underground but the staff are happy to help you get up and down the stairs. The only issues that can arise are that when it is busy, getting around in a chair could…
