When you've been working hard all week, free time is an extremely precious commodity. You want to go somewhere with ymy friends which has a great atmosphere, exudes entertainment value, where you can get in without United Nations style negotiations with the dictatorial door staff and where members of the opposite sex deliciously divert ymy attention. After many heated debates with my friends here are a diverse collection of my favmyite places for a night out with the girls. 4040 Momo has remained, in my opinion, one of the best places to combine food and socialising.
Prices are high but it's certainly worth it.
Dress very fashionably but not over flamboyantly to fit in with the regulars. Somehow, on nights out in Islington we seem to be drawn back time and again to the Finca, a tapas bar and salsa club. Washed down with jugs of highly alcoholic margarita this makes an excellent warm up for the night of dancing at El Tiempo, the salsa club upstairs. The atmosphere is very much reminiscent of New York's SoHo. The D.J.'s spin tunes in this warehouse conversion whilst the cool crowd grab some food from the short but hearty menu before schmoozing, networking etc.
