I think TBE is winning at the moment

it depends what kind of night you want
TBE is v loud, buzzy, lobsters and burgers. plus there are a few pubs around there when you've finished.

another good option that's easy for everyone to get to is kazan in pimlico - near vicky station, amazing turkish food, cocktail bar next door for snecklifters.

Snecklifter is a type of bitter (by Jennings if you give a shit)
I think you're being robbed if you're buying it as a cocktail.

According to the blurb on the bottle:
In northern dialect sneck means door latch and a sneck lifter was a man’s last sixpence which enabled him to lift the latch of a pub door and buy himself a pint, hoping to meet friends there who might treat him to one or two more.

Er, it's Cumbrian slang for someone who's always looking to scrounge a pint.
"sneck" being a latch on a door. Someone who sticks their head round the door to look for a free pint.

i so am not!
i am implying that they could go to the pub for a few cheeky opening pints.

and then do a runner. it might help if you knew the bar in question, one "elusive camel", a formerly dingy pub now trying to market itself as a dingy cocktail bar.
