A country boozer in Hammersmith

Posted in London on June 29th, 2008

A country boozer in Hammersmith
The Queen’s Head in Hammersmith does not feel like a London pub but like a successful country boozer. And it’s enormous on the inside.

West End wine bar is a corker
The Cork & Bottle near Leicester Square has been setting the standards for wine bars since the early 1970s and the onus of the place is still on quality wines.

Music fund may be going the way of the phonograph
The Music Performance Fund has for 60 years paid musicians to perform free concerts. But in the age of downloads, the fund is minuscule, and officials differ on what to do about it.

For 60 years, the Music Performance Fund, an unsung charity financed by a small fraction of record company sales, has paid the piper — and just about every other kind of musician — by helping to bankroll thousands of free concerts annually all over North America.

Bandol

Posted in Tokyo on June 28th, 2008

Bandol
Stylish, yet unpretentious, Bandol's wine list makes for impressive reading. Vintages from France, Italy, Spain and the New World rub shoulders with an extensive cocktail menu on which you can find old favourites along with more unusual concoctions like 'Ontology' and 'Fantasy'…

Bar Bourbon Street
Bar Bourbon StreetOne has to admire a bar that aims to offer a 'taste of New Orleans in Tokyo.' But this quirky, cozy bar with its homely, accessible atmosphere really pulls it off. Ideal for those feeling a tad lost in translation, those who want to slow down and chill out after a spell in the frantic Japanese capital…

Re’Cue
Rub shoulders with Japan's smart-set in this temple to chic in the Far East. Thanks to it's dark interior, artfully dimmed by table-top lamps, and a labyrinthine layout, it's all-too-easy to get lost. But who cares when you can sip on sake, or nurse a mighty beniotome to clear even the most jaded of palettes in readiness for a wooden bowl of tofu…



Nothing outstanding about Schrodingers

Posted in London on June 28th, 2008

Nothing outstanding about Schrodingers
Schrodingers is better than it has been for a long time but with ales that are served too cold this venue is still not on top form.
