Go to Old Street on the tube and hit Hoxton Square. It's about a 5 minute walk from the tube station.

There is something for everyone. And the 'scenery' is fantastic.

As with many places, split down into pairs or small groups when going into a bar, as the bouncers don't like large groups of lads and you will get turned away at the door. No such problem for mixed-sex couples and groups of girls.

It's blatant sexual discrimination, but no-one will bother doing anything about it because the 'victims' are not part of a minority group.

If you get 'bounced' you can have some real fun. Demand to see the manager of whatever bar it is. Claim to be gay and say that, by refusing to let 2 lads in, the bar is discriminating against you. Threaten court action and newspapers. Demand free drinks as compensation.
