Groucho Marx: "I don't want to join a club that will accept me as a member"

Review

Where is it?

Located in the heart of seedy Soho, this is the centre of medialand and on a road that runs between bustling Oxford and Old Compton Streets. It's near to Tottenham Court Road tube.

What's it like?

It's pretty unpretentious, although some of the younger patrons (yes, i mean you Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver) can be a little rowdy sometimes. The members are all media types, stars and starlets. Don't expect to get in without a membership, it just won't happen! The cocktails aren't overpriced at around £7-8, and if you are as fabulous as Johnny Ikon or any of the celebs that have made this their second home you can expect to be left in peace to enjoy your drink without the more annoying aspects of less selective 'celebrity' haunts.

Why does Johnny Ikon love it?

It's the perfect place to spot a story - I've seen Jude Law snogging someone he shouldn't here, Lily Allen abusing a French tourist on the way out and Rhys Ifans drowning his sorrows post-Sienna split. It's scandal central!

Johnny recommends somewhere to eat before

	Asia de Cuba St Martin's Lane Hotel, 45 St Martin's Lane, WC2N 4HX. Global cuisine for the global traveller
	Hakkasan 8 Hanway Place, W1T 1HD. A well-hidden gem!
	Tom Aikens 43 Elystan Street, SW3 3NT. Chi-chi, smart and exclusive. More than the froth!
	Suka The Sanderson Hotel, 50 Berners Street, W1T 3NG. Elegant yet casual Malaysian fine dining
