PUB TOILETS –  THE DECORATION EDITION

PUB TOILETS – THE DECORATION EDITION

January 20, 2017March 6, 2023 14 Comments

PARENTAL ADVISORY – CONTAINS “ART” I seem to be taking a lot more photos of pub toilets recently.  What you can read into that, I wouldn’t like to say. Perhaps it’s just than loos are often one of the architectural and artistic highlights of a pub visit. As part of my irregular spring cleans of… Continue reading PUB TOILETS – THE DECORATION EDITION

EL PATCHANKA, HAVANA

December 30, 2015January 4, 2023 2 Comments

The bar scene in Manchester has a bit of a head start on Havana, but Patchanka wouldn’t look out of place on Tib Street, or anywhere in East Berlin. Patchanka has the massive advantage of no obvious Hemingway connections, or inclusion in the usual guides, having seemingly opened a year or so ago. Very basic, covered… Continue reading EL PATCHANKA, HAVANA
