One Big Sunday - Leicester
Your Guide to Leicester

Swan & RushesPubs/Bars

"You might want to go for a couple of bevvies on the way back into town, so why not make a stop at the trendy O bar on Braunstone Gate, or relax in the sun at The Quay at Bede Island Park - there's always a game of football or frisbee to join in with!"



"Chris Moyles is going to be there and we all know what he likes to do - drink! If you're up for a bit of a lads night out, at a pub with a truly awesome atmosphere, then my particular favourite has got to be The Hat and Beaver in Highcross Street. It's got a real buzz about it. The loud chatter combined with the number of pipes you see, and old fashioned ale, make you feel like you're living in Dickens times."

"On a weekend, Revolution Bar is a novelty way to 'kick start' the night ahead. Follow their dress code and you'll find it has an unrivalled selection of vodkas from different countries, which means there are copious amounts of different flavours. Or how about you make a 'combo' - a larger, some champagne and Jack Daniels together! Or you could try your luck with the Lizard Lounge which has two chill-out bars."

"Street Life is a gay bar and has an excellent atmosphere. For the moshers out there, there's The Shed with local bands playing during the day and the occasional chance to watch DVDs"

The Donkey on Welford Rd, only 15 minutes walk away from Vicky Park, has the most comfortable sofas to aid the enjoyment of a pint. Then, you've got the Swan & Rushes. Admittedly the average age in that place is 65+, but the strength of the beers could tranquilize a hippo! The authentic glasses you get are a sight to behold. Ask for a bottle of Kwak and see for yourself..."

"If you go to Time for a pre-club drink,
Be sure to have a Monk's Candy Bar,
Chocolate and butterscotch schnapps with cream,
The best ever cocktail by far."
