The bar is slightly more expensive than the other places around it. The dance floor is also quite small and gets crowded fast but the general atmosphere is good and enough to keep an experienced clubber happy.

The 23 Club is big, covering roughly 300 sq/m; the dance floor can pack a large crowd, and the rest of the place is top notch too. There are big comfortable couches for patrons to take a break from the dance floor and the glass interiors are quite astounding. There is a large vaulted ceiling above the whole place which lends the bar an epic atmosphere. As the boss explained, 23 hours, or 11 o'clock is the busiest time for business when the place swarms with customers. He went on to say that the reason his place is so popular is not because they have the best drinks or food, but because they have set up the kind of environment where people can be comfortable and at ease. This, he says, is the key to having a successful bar.

Named after the London’s neighborhood, this bar is as every bit of an English pub that you could wish for, there is british beer and a pool table, even though it is a bit dodgy looking, the atmosphere inside is relaxed and the staff is friendly.

Truly tailor-made for expats, this pub is everything you need if you’re experiencing homesickness. Football matches shown every now and a then and themed party nights such as thanksgiving is organized.
