again, obviously you're going to go here, it's a huge destination for the ruin pub scene. again my hot tip is time-related: they have a farmer's market on the weekends and they also do a farmer's market brunch which is buffet-style and it is crazy good. it's more expensive than a typical bp restaurant but is well worth it and still probably less than you'd pay in america. plus then you can check out the whole place without having to deal with one million sweaty and drunk tourists. they also just generally have good events here that aren't necessarily clubby, so definitely look at their website to see what's what.
