    Escoba

    Orange walls, Dali-esque paintings and a hot and sultry atmosphere make this Spanish-style bar a popular drinking den. Cool Sol beers and jugs of margarita are the tipple of choice, accompanied by plates of fresh tapas.

    Moloko

    This curious bar seems to take its visual cue from Stalinist Russia - black paint, stark interiors and red stars abound - and you'll need the constitution of a Tartar to stomach the flavoured vodkas.

    Red Lion

    Having a pint here means downing a drink at the only pub in the world inside a stone circle. It's also haunted by Flori, who was killed during the Civil War when her husband threw her down a well – it now forms the centrepiece of the dining room. You can stay here too (single/double £50/80).

    Moloko

    Red radiators, Soviet stars and flavoured vodkas create a Cold War theme.

    Haunch of Venison

    Featuring wood-panelled snugs, spiral staircases and wonky ceilings, this 14th-century drinking den is packed with atmosphere – and ghosts. One is a cheating whist player whose hand was severed in a game – look out for his mummified bones on display inside.
