Monday Night Drinks

Okay so it's Monday and the week ahead can look a little bit tough. With the credit crunch and the weather getting colder, it can be hard to put a smile on your face. How about some after work drinks and a catch up with some friends?

We have hand selected some for the nicest bars and pubs around to try out tonight, or in fact, try them out any night of the week.

Bunker Beirhall near Leicester Square is a kitsch little underground bar that is great for an after work hours drink. It's a great hideaway from the busier bars in this area and plays some relaxing tunes. They also serve a great selection of European beers to warm you up on a winter night.

Sometimes the only thing that can make the ladies happy is a bar of chocolate; well we have something even better for you, Bar Chocolate . You’ll find Chocolate Martinis and more in this quirky little bar with fantastic service. No waiting at the bar for a drink, expect nothing but attentive table service and tasty cocktails.

For those of you that fancy a week night party, head down to 5b Urban Bar . Full of city slickers, it can get rowdy late at night but with a great selections of drinks and a jukebox to boogie around. It's a dream of a place to go after a hard day in the office.

Workies in Old Street can kick back and relax at Kick Bar after sweating it at their desk all day. They have great Mojitos as well as foosball tables and pool tables. Why not get your boss down there too and battle it out on the green? They may even offer to get the drinks in!

Our final recommendation is if the day has just got too much for you and all you want to do is find a dark corner to drown your sorrows in. The Keston Lodge is perfect for that. Lovely comfy sofas and tasty beers welcome you into this busy pub that is in the heart of Islington.
