If you want to go to The Roadhouse, a restaurant/bar/club at Covent Garden, make sure you get there before their cover charges kick in ? ?10 after 9 on a Friday night seemed pretty expensive for a place I wasn?t going to be spending too much time in.

When Nathan invited me to his roommate?s, Sarah, birthday-do I wasn?t expecting to be thrust into this very American retro style bar. It is actually an okay place ? the music wasn?t too bad (everyone loves ?Footloose? right?) and the place was jamming. Unfortunately this and the fact that the bar men were busy showing off their flashy ?Cocktail? serving style meant that bar service was very slow. Sometimes its good being a girl though as I?m sure I got served much quicker than some of the guys who appeared to be camped at the bar.

I didn?t stay long, two shots (kamikaze and a melon mix) was enough to make me realise that I was never going to catch up with Sarah and their crew. They were looong gone and having a great time and to be frank I was dead tired. If there had been any talent to keep me hanging around I might have stayed longer but sadly The Roadhouse was really a case of quantity but no quality!
