Street sounds in London barTopics: Bars 
Recreating a Havana slum on London's Essex Road may seem a bizarre concept for a bar but the recently opened Barrio North is pulling in the crowds.Billing itself "a neighbourhood DJ bar…that combines the spirit of community and collaboration with street culture from the ghetto archipelago", the venue is basically a fusion of urban sights and sounds from around the world. Since launching in September 2007, it has attracted some great soul, Latin and funk acts, as well as a faithful weekend clientele making full use of the 3am late licence. So-called 'street food' served at Barrio North includes snack staples like nachos and wraps, but beer choice allows more adventure with a vast array of unusual options and the promise to try and source customers' own global recommendations. Those wishing to make a real party of the night can hire a rather cool cut-up and customised 1970s caravan in the corner, which accommodates up to 15 revellers. Other DJ bars on the Essex Road include Embassy. While it plays a broad range of music, emphasis is on urban cuts and hip-hop.  |
