We were in Southampton for one night prior to a cruise. When the business we were looking for in the same area was permanently closed, we stumbled on Vodka Revolution and decided to take a chance. The food was above average, but the drinks! Wow! It reminded me of all things I could have possibly wanted in college. The vodka drink I had came with a flavor injector so you could flavor up your drink as much or as little as you liked. Also, the paddles of shots were very reasonably priced(compared to America!) and there were probably 30+ options. We had a Dr. Pepper-based shot and it was delicious! VR runs specials if you are a part of their membership club. We were there on a Wednesday and based on what we ordered, we would have spent more money if we didn’t join. BONUS: The membership comes with a free pair of men’s boxer-briefs? If a good dinner is what you’re after, I don’t think VR will disappoint. However, just be aware that the whole concept, ambiance, and menus are designed around getting you and your party to drink! The concept and execution of this restaurant just reminds me of college, and for the nostalgia factor I give it 4-stars!

Lots of fun to be had dancing upstairs or swaying with your drink downstairs. Great drinks, sometimes a good special on. Lovely patio on the third level until around midnight. No cover charge makes for a busy night on the weekends but worth a go!

Lizard lounge is now a vodka Revolution. In the evening it has a nice atmosphere with good music and comfy chairs; it offers lots of vodka related cocktails as well as the usual drinks. All day Monday is BOGOF on burgers. The burgers are the type you wonder how you are going to eat as no matter which way you turn them they won’t fit in your mouth. The staff are friendly and serving time was good.

This is a smart, slick, trendy bar in Bedford Place. It’s not particularly cheap but if you’re looking for a busy place, with a more upmarket feel to it then this might be the place for you. The perhaps slightly over-zealous security on the door means that you probably wont encounter trouble here, but it does get very busy on a friday and saturday night. Gorgeous staff, pretty drinks and trendy music means a great night is more than possible in this bar. And if not, its in the centre of a city of student bars and clubs, so you’ll easily find something else.
