Fringey top 5 pubs

* Bradley's Spanish Bar - Unofficial Fringey Headquarters. Cute barmen and a spot on jukebox. But please don't come along to check it out. It's only wee and there isn't room for you!

* The Lock Tavern - excellent live music played by real live DJs, reasonably priced gin and the prettiest boys in town drink there including Mr Alex Zane

* The Endurance - it's in Soho, it's full of media types yet somehow it remains a decent boozer. And it's got a boars head on the wall- bonus.

* Phoenix Artist's Club - Ok, so we've seen Towers of London and Charlie from Busted all having drinks in here, but don't let that put you off!! (Heat reported that Zane Lowe's been spotted in here too- pro or con, you decide? LF).

* The Ten Bells - It's probably haunted by Jack the Ripper, the sofa's are fooked, one of the loos in the ladies is taped shut and if don't get in there quick enough on a Friday you have to stand outside but it's still a good un.
