[http://www.applesandpearsbar.com/ bars in brick lane] - London is suddenly teeming with night time bar clubs offering anything from burlesque to reside music as entertainment as the Licencing Act forces councils to permit bars to open later. How though is the casual bar goer to select the wheat from the chaff? This is where Club Insider comes in providing unbiased reviews of what is hip and happening working in london

Soho and the West End remains the spot for celebrity driven bars. Although for the casual drinker to discover yourself rubbing shoulders using a celebrity you'll have to get into the VIP area first. With the celebrity bars Punk and Kabaret remain the daddies even though real celebrity action is in the clubs like Bijou, Chinawhite's Soho House and Movida. Around the drinks front Lab continues to be the cocktail daddy although comparative newcomers like Milk and Honey, CellarDoor and specialist regional bars like Floridita are nipping at its heels. Club Insider also likes every one of the Match Bars as well as the much derided hotel bars like The Lanesborough and Met bar. Overall though Westminster's notoriously tight licensing rules have effectively put the block on new late licenses in Soho stifling the scene particularly with the chain bars continuing their onslaught gobbling up independent venues whenever they can. In addition a lot of Soho's bar activity has migrated for the private members clubs like Soho House and Vanilla which makes it that much tougher for the casual drinkers. Club Insider also only recommends Soho weekdays as at weekends its far too touristey since the bridge and tunnel brigade descend.

[http://www.applesandpearsbar.com/ bars in brick lane] - East London is when the action is around the new bar front with Shoreditch and today Brick Lane because the place where well moneyed hipsters like to available to open new venues. Leaders from the pack have to be Lounge Lover and also the humongous (but 100% private) Shoreditch House but the like of Home, Last Times of Decadence and Hoxton Bar and Grill all have their own own charm too. Actually along Brick Lane or Shoreditch Traditional achingly cool bars are actually any money several. All of which amusingly has created a back lash with lots of hipsters now declaring their passion for their tired old local on the flashy charms with the style bar(s) across the street. A honourable mention for Cargo and 93 Feet East too although both of them are really more music venues than bars. Anything missing? Well possibly a few more live music venues first of all.

For North London read Camden with as numerous music pub clubs per square mile with there being style bars in Shoreditch and members clubs in Soho. From your achingly cool Proud for the rather run down but ever popular Monarch Camden is the home with the indie bar (or in other words pub) club...... and nothing else. Actually that is not quite true Camden and it is environs also house several great gastropubs (the Enterprise being the best) and a couple of style bars too that Fifty Five is our favourite.

West London unfortunately is affected with the deadly RBKC (that is the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea) disease who within their wisdom have effectively position the kibosh on new night time venue openings. Club Insider however likes the electrical Cinema (part private) Paradise in Kensal Green and Notting Hill Arts Club.

[http://www.applesandpearsbar.com/ bars in brick lane] - That leaves South London? A combination of laxer licensing laws and cheaper property prices has generated a ripe environment for bar entrepreneurs attempting to try different things. Cue Lost Society and Lost Angel using their glitzy 30s themed take on d'cor and cocktails not forgetting The Loft in Clapham. Most of these venues are already picking up numerous bar awards from Periods and other magazines much for the annoyance of these North from the River London rivals. Recently Peacock Bar in Clapham Junction may be making waves using its clever mixture of burlesque and cabaret early with retro 80s and 90s Djs later. Having acquired almost every award there is certainly for burlesque and cabaret Club Insider hears they may be planning to so something big in the western world End very shortly. Watch this space.
