Never been to 69 colebrooke row, but have heard about it.

Actually there were 2 bars at the Savoy. The Beaufort and The American. One was for the hookers, the other for the wives, but I can't remember which one was which (no jokes, please). I wish NJS were still on this pages to tell us the story.Luca wrote: 20-25 years ago, the bar at the Savoy was full of hookers.....
.....I agree with you that many of the most interesting and quality joints are ‘out East’, with the West End often charging prices that bear no relation with the quality of the drink.
That reminds me of the old Naval toast....hectorm wrote:Actually there were 2 bars at the Savoy. The Beaufort and The American.

In the 90s, when I resided in London, "East" used to mean the East End, into which Westenders would venture sporadically for some business. Nowadays there seem to be places like Hackney out East where people go for drinks. With a cocktail in a Mayfair hotel bar at twenty two pounds sterling a pop, I don't blame them.
Old toast indeed. The bars at the Savoy have changed with the culture, as the Naval toast has changed with it too. "To our families" is the update, instead of "To our wives and sweethearts". The traditional response "May they never meet" no longer makes sense.lxlloyd wrote: That reminds me of the old Naval toast....
