Knowing the difference between Narnia and Neverwhere is not a prerequisite at this brilliant Commercial Dr nerd pub. But if you do, you'll certainly make new friends. With displays of Doctor Who figures and steampunk ray guns – plus TVs that might screen Logan's Run at any moment – dive into the craft beer and settle in for a fun evening.
Alongside the BC brews (plus well-named cocktails including Romulan Ale and Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters), the grub here is of the cheap-and-cheerful burgers and wraps variety. There are also role-play books and a huge wall of board games for the so-inclined (if you know what Elfenland is, that means you). Twice-monthly trivia nights and weekday happy hours also add to the festivities.
