The Carlisle Street Guinness specialist just off Soho Square pours the best pint of stout in central London, with a basement room that fills before 18:00 and spills out onto the pavement once it does.
TipGuinness only, do not order anything else. The pavement crowd is the bar, the basement is the conversation room.
The Frith Street gothic basement runs a cantina menu of garlic-laced everything and 101 flavoured vodkas through a sound system that is mostly metal, and the upstairs garden patio is the unexpected smoking court.
TipThe garlic beer is the dare drink, the chilli vodka shot is the warning. Skip if you have a date the next day.
The Cavendish Square pub with the cellar live music room runs cask ales upstairs and a small-stage programme of rock and indie nights downstairs that costs nothing on the door.
TipThe cellar gigs are free entry, walk down the side stairs and put a fiver in the bucket for the band.
The 1999-opened Farringdon warehouse with three rooms and a Bodysonic dancefloor is still the global benchmark for how a serious dance club should sound, programme and last the night.
TipBuy in advance, the door queues on Saturday curl down Charterhouse Street by midnight. Room One is the bass-rattled main floor.
The 1991 Elephant and Castle warehouse that exported British clubbing as a global brand is still pulling tier-one DJs into the Box, with a sound rig that earns its reputation.
TipThe Box main room sound is the experience, do not get sidetracked into the smaller rooms before midnight.
The Brixton Road club run by the Mixmag-tested Phonox crew runs a no-headliner format where one resident plays the whole night, and the Saturday booking policy has built a loyal regular crowd.
TipGet there before midnight, the door cuts off well before close and the queue gets brutal on a name Saturday.
