You forgot to mention the best show I’ve seen at The Old Blue: THE DRIPS

I also loved The Drips’ show! It was awesome.
But Old Blue Last = best pub for music? Well, not that much competition is there? What other pubs are there? Dublin Castle? The Full Moon in Putney (ha!)?
I’d say The Water Rats is better though, I’m sure they’ll win next year.

These little ‘best xxx’ listings make me cringe. “What to say?”. Are they kidding me? Also, Peaches Geldof is a regular? GREAT! And that means what? That I should go more often? That it has the celebrity seal of approval? That she’s a barometer of all that is cool, and more importantly, good (rarely the same thing)?
OBL: best pub for City wankers and media wide-boys sitting at the bar on stools so no one can get a drink.
