Qype: Font in Manchester

Manchester - Pubs & Bars - Bars

Really great bar just under the arches by Oxford Road station and what was A1 music back in the day, my own personal mecca for many years.

The best night out I had here was when the 'In The City' music festival was on in September 2001 and I saw the now legendary 'Honey Shop Screamers' perform "Songs from English Motorways' - a classic gig. The band, as far I know, are now sadly defunct, but the bar lives on.

Well worth a look.

Qype: An Khang in Hamburg

Hamburg - Restaurants - Other Asian - Vietnamese

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Hamburg?! Who'd have thought it? This is a low-key, friendly establishment, which is reasonably priced and has delicious food.

The staff are so friendly that when our credit card didn't work they said, just pay next time! When does that ever happen?!

Starters and mains for 3, including wine, comes to around €70. Recommended.

Qype: The Basketmakers Arms in Brighton

Brighton - Pubs & Bars - Pubs

The Basketmakers is a real little gem of a pub hidden in some little lane in Brighton. I've never been anywhere quite like here, given the tradition of the punters scrawling tiny little notes and hiding them in the myriad old tobacco tins on the wall! This is UNBELIEVABLY fun! You can find wisdom, rhyme, phone numbers, lyrics and sheer randomness contained within.

But let's get down to business. On the beer side of things - it's a Fullers joint. This means, of course:

Pride
ESB
Discovery
HSB (Gales - but bought by Fullers I learned)
Chiswick Bitter

You can't go wrong with Pride, ESB or Discovery, so I was happy. There may have been a non-Fullers guest. Or maybe not!

Excellent place.

Qype: Bar Zwo11 in Hamburg

Hamburg - Pubs & Bars - Bars

Fish fish fish fish fish. Yes, this bar has an amazing projector showing undersea scenes non-stop. Initially I thought it was some sort of gimmick, but when I saw that the names of the fish occasionally pop up, I realised it's actually a valuable educational tool!

Other than that, it's desperately stylish, with all the features that come with such a bar - overpriced drinks, uncomfortable seating that's a bit shiny and far too low, very dim lighting, no atmosphere, old women with dogs... oh wait...!

Yes it's true - this is the bar of choice for Lassie! 3 stars.

Qype: osteopathy at roseandcrown in London

London - Health - Alternative Medicine - Health - Health - Alternative Medicine - Osteopathy - Health - Massage & Physio

Recently discovered the wonder of osteopathy as I decided to try and sort out my neck, shoulders and arms after years of abuse on the computer all day every day. Phil has a nice little room below the Rose and Crown hairdressers, where he clearly works wonders with his clients. The service is extremely professional, trying to find out what the root causes of any discomfort you have, and then manipulating the right joints to sort them out. He will also teach you useful stretches you can do yourself to help out.

If you have any sort of discomfort and have had no joy with your GP, I would highly recommend having a look at this.

Qype: Eleven Cafe Bar in Berlin

Berlin - Cafes & Coffee Shops - Cafes - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Cocktail Bars

Delicious coffee and milkshakes, right by Potsdamer platz station. I couldn't fault the little heart shape that the waitress had lovingly crafted into my latte, and the chocolate milkshakes are also a winner.

Qype: Adebar in Berlin

Berlin - Cafes & Coffee Shops - Cafes

Pretty decent late-night cafe bar that does a mean burger for just €4, and has no problem serving food well past when you should be eating it - i.e. at 2330. The beer is reasonable and it's fairly busy, no complaints at all really.
