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

Soho and also the West End continues to be the spot for celebrity driven bars. Although for that casual drinker to discover yourself rubbing shoulders having a celebrity you'll have to get into the VIP area first. Of the celebrity bars Punk and Kabaret remain the daddies even though the real celebrity action is within the clubs like Bijou, Chinawhite's Soho House and Movida. Around the drinks front Lab continues to be 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 all of the Match Bars as well as the much derided hotel bars just like the Lanesborough and Met bar. Overall though Westminster's notoriously tight licensing rules have effectively place the block on new late licenses in Soho stifling the scene especially with the chain bars continuing their onslaught gobbling up independent venues when they can. Additionally lots of Soho's bar activity has migrated to the private members clubs like Soho House and Vanilla rendering it that much more difficult for the sporadic drinkers. Club Insider also only recommends Soho weekdays as at weekends its way too touristey as the bridge and tunnel brigade descend.

[http://www.applesandpearsbar.com/ brick lane bars] - East London is when the action is around the new bar front with Shoreditch now Brick Lane because the place where well moneyed hipsters like to ready to accept open new venues. Leaders with the pack have to be Lounge Lover and the humongous (but 100% private) Shoreditch House however the like of Home, Last Events of Decadence and Hoxton Bar and Grill all get their own charm too. In reality along Brick Lane or Shoreditch Traditional achingly cool bars are actually any money twelve. Which amusingly has established a back lash with lots of hipsters now declaring their love for their tired old local over the flashy charms of 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 for starters.

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 the achingly cool Proud to the rather rundown but popular Monarch Camden will be the home of the indie bar (or in other words pub) club...... and nothing else. Actually that's not quite true Camden and its environs also house several very good gastropubs (the Enterprise being the very best) plus a handful of style bars too that Fityfive 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 put the kibosh on new evening 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 variety of laxer licensing laws and cheaper property prices has generated a ripe environment for bar entrepreneurs wanting to try something different. Cue Lost Society and Lost Angel making use of their glitzy 30s themed accept d'cor and cocktails not forgetting The Loft in Clapham. Many of these venues happen to be picking up numerous bar awards from Periods along with other magazines much for the annoyance of these North of The River London rivals. Lately Peacock Bar in Clapham Junction continues to be making waves having its clever mixture of burlesque and cabaret early with retro 80s and 90s Djs later. Having acquired just about every award there's for burlesque and cabaret Club Insider hears they're about to so something big under western culture End very shortly. Watch this space.
