Zoo Bar: Pub in Westminster, London

Zoo Bar in WC2H is a place where the night depends on which night you pick. Much of the week leans towards students, with regular nights on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. That gives it a young, busy feel, though the mood shifts from one night to the next. Heavier music has a steady home here too. Metal and nu-metal club nights run late and draw people who came for loud guitars and a crowd that knows the words. If you're new to Zoo Bar, choose by the night rather than the day. A student night and a genre night feel different, and knowing which one suits you saves a lot of guessing.
