BARS AND CLUBS

Many four- and five-star hotels have bars, pubs and nightclubs. Happy hours are common. The dress code in bars is usually casual, but some bars and all clubs forbid shorts, jeans, trainers or sandals. Some require shirts with collars. As a rule nightclubs have a stricter dress code. Bars and clubs usually stay open until late, some closing at about 1 p.m., others remaining open until 3 a.m. In general people tend to go out late, usually not before 9 p.m., although if you are in a tourist venue the action can start a little earlier. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest nights. Sports fans are catered for with many of the pubs screening major sporting events such as Premier League matches.
