Rugby themed pubs don’t usually do a lot for us here at AZBarLondon, but occasionally we scrum down and just get on with it. For F we’ve decided to check out Ricky Casanova’s local in Finsbury Park, the Faltering Fullback, a rugged establishment if ever there was one. Someday AZBar is going to come to you from somewhere less salubrious, but not this day.
We’ve been taking our viewer feedback pretty seriously here and everyone has been mauling us about the lack of information on the actual bars themselves. Our initial reaction is to direct people to Beerintheevening.com, a place where no one knows your name, but everyone knows a little something about most pubs. Fair enough, but we like to get a little bit more up close here on AZBar. With that in mind we’re introducing a new feature, the 3 second review. Take a look, we think you’ll like it.
It’s been a while since our last episode but Ricky Casanova has his phone back and he knows how to use it. For the letter ‘C’ we stopped by The Coach and Horses on Greek Street in Soho. Unfortunately our camera battery decided this was the day it was going to give us only three minutes of filming, which of course may not be a bad thing.
A special shoutout to TrashBlanc friend BeatmasterV who kindly agreed to partake in this episode’s crack in the jacks. Truly awful BV, thanks for nothing.
The more astute of you will notice we’ve ditched YouTube for the infinitely better blip.tv. We’ve also introduced a level of daylight and sobriety into proceedings. Not sure if they’re connected. We’ll let you know next time.
It was with a heavy heart the AZBarLondon.com crew travelled up to the Boogaloo in Highgate on Friday night. But even Jezza would have to admit, the show must go on. And what a show. Instead of the usual banter about one of London’s finer drinking spots we’ve put together a little something especially for England’s favourite prankster.
Boogaloo. A lot of you thought we wouldn’t have the cheek to keep up this epic pub trawl after our first episode. You were wrong. And this Friday we’re going for the bridesmaid letter of the alphabet.
A is the eternal lead-off hitter, but it’s our feeling here at azbarlondon.com that it’s B where the party really starts. And there may not be a better party pub in London than the Boogaloo on the Archway Road.
It’s nearly time to get the A-Z party started. We were going to use YouTube to publish our videos for each pub we hit over the coming months but perhaps Seesmic is a better fit. It’ll speed up publishing and mean we can do everything live and on the hoof, or barmat. Let’s see if we can get an alpha account…
Ricky Casanova and myself will be drawing up a list for the first few letters of the alphabet tonight. Suggestions are more than welcome though, we don’t claim to have an all encompassing knowledge of London drinking holes. We’re more than willing students of those with greater experience in this area. Let’s keep them inside zone 2 though, 3 at a real push.
Finally, get ready for “Cracks in the Jacks”. More info on that one later.
