This was one of my favourite bars whilst a student at King's College. It is more commonly known (and easily pronounced) as 'the Polish Bar', in fact it says so in big letters on the window! It is very small and serves Polish beer and a huge variety of top quality flavoured vodka (an idea Revolution seems to have nicked). The size and back-street location make it feel like a secret, invitation-only society for connoisseurs, and a lot more welcoming than similar 'cool' bars. I actually feel quite guilty for revealing it!
Nearest Tube: Holborn.
It is in a narrow back street behind Holborn station. It's hard to find but I think the easiest way is to take the first right off High Holborn, around Pret a Manger then follow the lane around, bearing right.
