Good Morning,
Looking to go to Leicester square for my 21st birthday on a Sat.
Could anyone recommend some nice bars / clubs to go to? Looking for reasonably busy bars / clubs, not expecting drinks to be cheap but not silly prices hopefully. Most charge to get in (bars as well?)
I know Zoo Bar. Any others? Possibly nice bar to start the eve and then onto few others ending in Zoo?
Ages will range from 18+ so cant really be 21+ bars.

Most of the clubs are 21+ around that area, and are all pretty shite bar Cafe De Paris and CC. The others are just full of foreigners etc. Tiger Tiger is good, but again, i think thats 21+. You could give On Anon a go, not sure if thats 21+ aswel though 
I think Equinox (shittest place ever) has also closed down.
Zoo bar is a bit shite aswel IMO, just let everyone in, and gets way too packed.
You are better off just going around a few bars on Liverpool st or Covent Garden. Roadhouse in Covent Garden is quite a good shout actually.
Search the net, everything is listed on there

It is a bit of a dive I agree But at least it has a decent atmosphere, good for a warm up before moving on somewhere else, wouldn't want to spend a whole night in there really.

I have heard that alot, but i went on a friday and it seriously wasnt that bad. Full of hot girls and no tourists in sight? Maybe the bouncers just didnt let them in or something.
I think im going to The Cross next sat for my 22nd, meant to me immense there.
Camden is alright, not really been there much, its more pubs than anything ive heard, and quite an odd crowd.............

Wooooo! I will be a London party-boy soon! 
I've been to Leister Square once, and yeah it is pretty shitty, but after a few extra bevvys, we found some dingy place with a basement & I danced my cock off. Loved it! Had a cracking night & wanted to party London ever since.

Tried finding a decent pub to watch England vs Ecuador during the last World Cup. Was bloody hard as most were packed. Either that or they wren't showing it  Found one and a pint of Kronenburg and some other drink was about £8. Bargain

It was a good weekend. London is pretty much on my doorstep but never really made the effort to go down there and see everything.
