Booze might now be banned on public transport, but that doesn't stop us getting trolleyed in the stations. The Betjeman Arms recently opened at St Pancras, bringing a much-needed touch of class to London's catalogue of terminus taprooms. To celebrate, we decided to go on a campaign for rail ale. Despite objections from our livers and serious renal remonstrance, we spent last Saturday working our way though a laevorotatory pub crawl of the major......

Over the last few years it has become popular to enjoy football matches in the pub, rather than at the stadiums themselves. This is even more true of the often far-flung international summer tournaments and increasingly people want to watch each match alongside supporters who have a vested interest in its outcome. Two years ago we were one of several sites offering tips on where to go around London to watch Iran, Argentina, Ghana......

A Tufnell Park boozer has come up with a neat way of drawing in the punters during this time of heightened wallet worrying: they're offering customers a haircut along with their Heineken. The Dartmouth Arms has hired stylist Arlene Stainthorpe to visit every Thursday night, where for a mere £9 she'll whip out the scissors for anybody who fancies a rug rethink while they're Brahms and Liszt. With pub earnings beset by cheap supermarket......

Amy Winehouse's mid-song patter has leaned rather heavily on her 'incarcerated Blake' since he was locked up awaiting trial last November. And it doesn't look like she'll be needing a new autocue anytime soon, as her hubby has just pleaded guilty to the assault that has landed him in trouble. He and his two co-defendants admitted attacking landlord of the Macbeth pub in Hoxton, James King, back in 2006 – and also pleaded guilty......

A man rolls into a bar. Sounds like the start of a dumb joke? It’s not. Wheelchair-enabled people like going out in the evening as much as anybody. What does appear to be a joke is how difficult it can be to find info about wheelchair accessible pubs et al in London. We did a bit of online snooping and were dismayed by the lack of resources out there. What material we did come......

That's one of the relaxing conversation pieces to be found at a ‘Skeptics in the pub’ meetup. Tonight’s guest speaker is Dr Matthew Smith from Liverpool Hope University, who will talk about fate, the meaning of life and mid-life crises. We caught up with co-organiser Sid Rodriques to find out what skepticism is, and whether we should be skeptical of it. How would you define a 'skeptic'? A skeptic is someone who asks for......
