  2. Baby Jupiter

  5. Dr Wu's

    Small and chock-full of black leather seats, this grungy bar would slot comfortably into New York's East Village, and don't the punters just know it. The vibe is studied cool and the DJs play a suitable blend of eclectic (but always alternative) sounds.

    Hip-hop, R & B and other urban beats make up the menu at this compact club known by some as 'Fight Cupboard' - but alco-fuelled trouble is a potential feature most everywhere.

  9. Japanic

    Take a traditional English pub and combine it with a modern, hi-tech karaoke bar and you get Japanic, where students flock to share a bottle of sake, knock back a few ales and take to the microphone. What's not to like? It's just north of the centre.
