Just how good are pubs for meeting women? (London UK), How many with good reputations?

Question

Do you know any good pubs in London (UK), to meet women? The net is SOOO bad for meeting women; they never get off their asses to meet up. Ok, so it's taken me years to get the courage to try it, but now I want to sort it out, get off MY *** and go meet some women in pubs, but wanted some info on some good places to try that don't cost a small fortune or that will end up becoming a warzone. ie, reputable pubs with good, (but not snobby or heads-up-their-own-asses 'establishments'),.. say either students hangouts, (mature too of course!),.. or media-employees, lawyers etc, hotel staff,.. people like that,... good, wholesome places to hangout. Do you know any? Names welcome! Anyone want to show me where they hang out?

Answer 1

Pubs in general and in London in particular are not good for picking up women. Most women who go to pubs will go there with their falks for a drink and loughter. You stand a better chance in the "red line" areas, such as in Soho than anywhere else.

All the best!/

Answer 2

Go for backpacker clubs or bars like


www.thechurch.co.uk (as far from a real one as you can get...see the photos... recomended going in a kilt or orther fancy dress)

or the Walkabout bars such as in Shepherds bush or Redback Tavern in Acton


Also try Carwash night www.carwash.co.uk at the Aquarium on a Saturday... Have to pre book, be in 70s 80s fancy dress and Id bring your swimminy cossie and a towel for the pool and jacquzzi. Note the dress code or lack of dress code in there is er liberal in the pool room.

What theese have in common is alternative or novelty nights


Ie in these sorts of places or metal/rock/goth

Or Psi-trance rave (bar ones in brixton now unfortunately 9used to be fine)

see www.accessallareas.org


You pretty much avoid any trouble and if on the rare chance there is any its very minor and not psycho gangs outside or anything with all around you putting a stop to it... As mentioned bloody unlikley.


The top lot would be better for girls, the bvottom more maty.
