A Nice Place
Apart from allocating a 2 hour time slot in between the pre and post theatre goers menus on a Saturday night, we had a nice meal (slightly overpriced), great service, nice atmosphere, would go again, but something (not much) stops me raving about this place the way I feel I should.

A Great Experience!
When I was a teenager up in Scotland far too many years ago, I used to read adverts in Sounds and the NME for Punk bands like the clash and Pistols appearing at the 100 Club and would dream of being able to attend these gigs.

Well 30 years on the 100 Club is alive and well and still putting on excellent shows.

I managed to catch the Blockheads there recently, and apart from the Pinstriped city boys trying their best to be one of the crowd with mockney accents, it was a brilliant night.

Its in a basement, its crowded, the bars are too busy, it gets very hot, but the atmosphere is electric and the acoustics ring!

The club has a great system where you can order tickets for gigs online, pay by paypal, then you give your paypal name at the door and your let in....tremendous. The tickets were very cheap considering the rip-off prices you pay at some venues.

Give it a try....its a different and enjoyable night out and they have some great acts. Chuck Berry is appearing there soon!!

A Pleasant Discovery
We discovered this though my Partner wanting to see the comedian Micky Flanagan and he had a very short run here. They seem to have quite a few comedians and plays, we were very impressed by upcoming events and will definately visit again. The ticketys for everything seem pretty inexpensive, its not too far from a tube, and there are loads of cool places to eat close by.

They have a bar that serves food and the drinks prices were quite good.

Micky Flanagan was appearing in a studio, not the main theatre, this made it a very intimate and entertaining gig.

Highly Recommended Venue.

Handy for the Soho Theatre.
We had tickets for a late show at Soho Theatre, after picking up the tickets we walked outside looking for somewhere to eat and found Hamburger Union. I have never come across them before but the menu sounded nice so in we went.

The burgers are nice, I had the Monerey jack and it was tasty, lovely bun too, some sort of doughy portugeuse thing, the chips were real home cooked affairs, a nice thing about them was they werent greasy, just really tasty. My partner had a Greek Salad, she said it was nice but too heavy on the lettuce and not enough Feta or Tomato(do authentic greek salads have lettuce?)

Overall we have to recommend it, nice ambience, fast service, we had soft drinks but you can have beers and stuff, a nice touch is when you pick up your cutlery they have jugs of iced water ready for you.

Fantastic!
4 of us had a lovely Lunch here, the O2 is nice just to visit and wander around the main concourse, lots of bars and restaurants, we've been a few times for gigs/events and both times have eaten at Las Iguanas. They do a great deal on Cocktails at lunchtimes and a couple of Long Island Iced Teas (recommended) and I was starving...
Try the XimXim, kind of a curry/Satay feel to it, but lots of exteas for a hungry person and it was wonderful. (supposed to be Peles favourite and I can see why) My friends food was just as good, dont have starters, the mains are huge. The drinks are not too expensive and the staff were really great, friendly and attentive. The music was good too. I can highly recommend this place.

Reluctantly Disappointing
Special friends took us here as a treat after the theatre. Very impressive entrance, lively cocktail bar, candles on every step up a sweeping staircase giving lovely ambiance. The service was attentive and efficient, but the food was at best average, well presented, but my friends gaots cheese tart was soggy and tasteless, the steak small but nice, in fact all the dishes bordered on the small and unsafisfying side. the deserts were okay, the cheesecake lovely but the others were average.
For the price, if your looking for pretentious, chique and to be seen, then this is the place for you, if you want really good food then I would look elsewhere.

The poor side of corporate entertaining
We had our corporate Christmas party here this week, the food was average, the waiting staff were efficient, but the management were attrocious. We had arranged and paid for a bar area after our meal where we could entertain guests. After the meal we were asked to go downstairs to our arranged entertaining area only to find this barred to us. The had sneakily arranged another party to use this space and would not entaertain any arguments, it left our Christmas party standing on a gangplank in the freezing cold locked out of a boat we had booked. Disgraceful behaviour from a venue that was too greedy for the Corporate Christmas Buck. Dont go here you will only be disappointed.

A Sunday Morning Treat
Visit Columbia Road flower market, cruise the junk shops and stalls at Brick Lane, then drop in here for sustenance. Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese are fantastic!

Amazing!
What a fantastic place! I'd love to do a supermarket sweep in there.....the guitars are just amazing in condition and diversity. The guys are great too, helpful, informative, knowledgable. I only wish I could afford to shop these weekly. Its worth a visit just to see some wonderful rare and vintage guitars, but you will be tempted.
