Hooters

You know exactly what you're getting when you walk through those doors, and sometimes that's precisely what you want. The wings are properly crispy, the beer selection does the job, and the big screens mean you won't miss a moment of whatever match is on. The orange shorts and crop tops are as much a part of the furniture as the booth seating. It's not trying to be anything other than what it says on the tin – an American sports bar that happens to occupy a decent spot on London Road. The staff are genuinely friendly rather than just playing a part, and the atmosphere gets properly lively when there's football on. Sure, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for what it is, they do it well enough.
