We’ve all been there, the nights when you’ve left it too late to get any sleep before work, the days that roll into debauched downward spirals, leaving you praying for dawn. They can both make you or break you but either way these places have your back.
Goodbody’s Jazz Bar – Plymouth
Toe-tap for 24 hours straight at Plymouth’s premier nighttime hangout. A basement bar boasts kooky-ass interior: check out the original Moroccan lanterns swinging from the beamed ceiling casting the perfect atmospheric lighting for your all night lock in. Monday blues nights, weekly pub quizzes and live performances can become as riotous as you like. Look for the Minis on the roof and you’ll have it.
**Manchester235 – Manchester
**
Get your game on at this Vegas-style visual feast. Go for cocktails, food, poker… whatever takes your fancy, really. Wanna ball hard? The VIP area’s waiting for you, baby. It’s invitation only, so wear something short, practice your pout and you’ll be at the roulette table in a flash.
**Polo Bar – London
**
[ASSETHERE=image]
A sort of chic-ish greasy spoon, slam-bang opposite Liverpool Street Station, serving truckers, bankers, bloggers and Shoreditch w*nkers all day and all night. They’ve got a 24-hour liquor license, so whatever time you need your fix, these guys are your friends.
**Duck & Waffle – London
**
Those in the know head here as daylight threatens. The food is bang-on: foie gras all day breakfast, BBQ spiced pig ears and mutton tartare make for an interesting sunrise snack. Can’t find an afterparty? Smarten yourself up, act sober and rock up here. Champagne at the table in your sunnies is totally a good 5am look, right?
**Hippodrome – London
**
Get glitzy, get glam and go large at this nouveau riche casino. Black leather sofas and gigantic lights with flower-like stems that rise above the tables, there’s even a hidden theatre behind an electronic curtain… this place is so Kimye it hurts. You can eat anything from caviar to slow cooked shepherd’s pie but go big and order a steak, they’re big and yankee, just how we like them. Time stands still here, especially after a few of the aptly named Snake Eyes cocktails. Remember to save some cash for the bus home.
