thanks for the suggestions. i was definitely going to check out the Nell Gwynne, and that Notting Hill place sounds great.

(I'd be well up (?) for a FAP if persons wanted to go to the trouble, but don't really know my schedule yet. I think I'm going to be free on a sat night (the 25), and perhaps the tuesday or wednesday of that week, but need to hear back from a friend and make some decisions first. I may or may not be going to a quiz night on the Sunday. Don't know where and I'm guessing it's not music-related.)

(oh, and i was tentatively planning on some pre or post-barbican drinking in clerkenwell on monday. i should probably start another thread or use a different thread, but want to get a better sense of my schedule first)

I don't think I ever looked UP enough to realize that's what the building housing the Foundry looks like!

Foundry remains stubbornly undesignatable for me - scuzzy - check, lots on draft - check, wouldn't order a white russian - check; yet the suspended bondage dolls and narrow demographic. I would just call it a "student pub" and be done with it except it's not right next to any school and everyone in there is about 30.

i think "studied junkyard look" is fair enough in terms of the foundry. its just that i dont really have a problem with that.

they fail to mention that its probably one of the cheapest bars in the area, which for me is a great incentive. for that i am uninterested in their opinions on this point.

The Lock in Camden is a bar masquerading as a pub.

i really don't like the lock tavern.

The Lock's ok in the summer, when you can sit on the terrace, but the observation above is absolutely correct of the Lock, and applies to a good few other places in the Camden/Kentish Town area besides.
