the pic in Nix's sig looks like a casual relaxing place, he should take her there

Nix · 31 Mar 2016 at 23:38

There is no pub.

opethdisciple · 31 Mar 2016 at 23:39

I still have no idea where I'm going.

but it looks like a nice place for her to sit and chat, and to tell the OP the kind of things she likes

I went once and hated it. Can't really put a finger on why. Just a horrible place.

69 Colebrooke Row is possible.

We met in angel last time. Bit of a walk from Angel station tho.

Nix · 31 Mar 2016 at 23:46

OP, look on the tube map and pick a location.

Holborn is actually a pretty easy place for you both. Plenty of pubs around that area -- the Strand through to Fleet St. etc.

Failing that, go to Shoreditch. You can walk from Old Street and she can come up from Liv. St.

Failing that, stick to around King's X area. Go on google maps and use streetview.

Have you been?

Doesn't look too bad, but wont it be extremely busy over the weekend?

Closes too early! 11pm closed.

It may be the case that i do just take her to the Road House. It's open until 3am.

Narj · 1 Apr 2016 at 07:38

You're planning to be drinking til 3am? You're doing it wrong!

daz · 1 Apr 2016 at 07:42

Cahoots or Cellar Door are both cool.

Kol · 1 Apr 2016 at 08:08

Please not Roadhouse. It's terrible and you only go there because everywhere else is closed and you're massively inebriated. Definitely not a place for a date, it's for stag doos and nights out with mates at most.

Cahoots however is wonderful.

She says she wants something casual.

A park bench or the bushes should be ok...

Anywhere near CG should be avoided at all times. You live in London, you should know this.

There are some great pubs and bars off the side streets - you just need to know where to go.

Roadhouse is a good laugh, when I was "dating" went there a few times, or round the corner at Jewel. Seemed to be fine. Some places in London are a bit too try hard

Em3bbs · 1 Apr 2016 at 09:07

Pick somewhere near her place, just in case, you know.

I suggest The Springbok in White City.

It's a shame that the Walkabout in Shepherds Bush closed down.
