I like bars.
I can get a 'mint julip'/'mojito'.

I like bars with subtal background music and a plessent up-market vibe.
Big comfy sofas, waiters to your table, friendly atmosphere... prehaps a food menu.

They're generaly more expensive, but I think they're worth it. I know a couple of great ones in london, and if you don't mind spending £70+ on a one-off night, you can have a great time.

They're also good for before/after going to things like a show.

I hate it when a bar trys to be a club though.

£70!
Jesus.

Is that good or bad to you?
I spent £150 last weekend. I am not proud of it.

At the end of the day, if you have a whicked night, and can afford it, then its worth it.
well, its not worth it, because you would do it every weekend if it was. But once every few months, its good fun.

£150 is a bit steap in one night though, prehaps a weekend. Unless, of course, you went for a posh meal and did the champers thing (ie, a birthday). Generaly though, there is only one person the group who spends that kind of money, and that person changes with every trip.

I honestly don't mind "bars", mind you, £70 in a night is taking the piss.
There's plenty of decent averagely priced places.

I'm not down with pubs that think they are bars and vice versa, or the dreaded GASTROPUB.

I like bars which are either small and cosy to take an OMGGIRL too
or a big fuckoff acid house style warehouse club where you meet lots of new people and can get totally bismarcked without going in the same room twice

The only multi-room bar i've been too, I would describe more as a club.
Was 'Risa' in B'hams' Canal Street.

I fucking loved it there though, B'ham is fucking whicked.

I would describe the wearhouse style ones more as a club though.

does being 'bismarcked' involve taking a torpedo to the rudder
and then going round in circles until the British navy finish you off (not in a sex way)?

Haha.
I'd go for that. Is there a dress code?

Looking like a ship
and being covered in seamen (FNAR!)

I'll give you that.
Damn I like mojitos.
(I helped save b3ta! rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Tue 20 Mar 2007, 15:23, archived)
Couldn't you get a mojito in a well-stocked pub?

(I helped save b3ta! Newington, Tue 20 Mar 2007, 15:23, archived)
Most pubs dont keep brown sugar or fresh mint
which is essential for a mohito/mint julep
(I helped save b3ta! prem1um is full of life, Tue 20 Mar 2007, 15:24, archived)
or lime juice
or rum, actually, apart from that black as tar "navy" rum shite.

Being a rum person
I am quite spoilt (figuratively and literally) by the selection of decent rums in the Brighton pubs.

"I'm sorry, we don't serve queers here"
would be a typical response, I should imagine.

I suspect that market forces would act against this tendency.

if the owners/managers knew their job
and listened to what the customers wnated, then yes

My local is a 100% proper pub
and the landlord (who has run it for 25 years) is justifiably famous for his knowledge of cocktails. He could piss mojitos into the slack-jawed mouths of any half-wit teenage cocktail bar in great britain.

I will find you.

Same with our local
and their fuckoff spicy Bloody Mary's.
