Zodiac, Regents Park, NW1

There is no real ale available here, but there are some standard and premium lagers and I found the barman to be nice enough. The bar itself is long and thin, but it has seen better days and could do with a lick of paint and a general clean out. There are some decks on the bar at the far end and there was a reasonably chilled atmosphere. I had to pass two girls sitting near the entrance that were eating some sort of calamari dish that had a stench that hit the back of my throat with such power that I thought I was going to hurl up my liver. Above them were some small motorised palm leaves that were dispersing the foul odour around the bar so I plotted myself near the sweeter smelling toilets. This place is unexceptional and I wouldn't plan to go here again.
