It would be best if TOG was already there when you arrived, and was doing the freestyle MC thing. It would also be disturbing.
"The Dragon Bar is a living, wheezing artwork, its furniture a cornucopian confusion of tattered jumble, customised with colourful graffiti, and its customers a tattered, rollie-smoking bunch with colourful histories" Translates to, Its a bit of a dump, with lots of writing on the walls. Good place to go for a drink though.
Spot on - it's the closest thing to a Manhattan bar I've been to in this country, to the point that the first time I walked in there I thought "this is like being back in New York". Maybe you need to have done it appreciate it, iyswim.
How long has it been there. Three years ago I was working just around the corner from there on Bonhill St and I don't think I ever noticed it.

Generally speaking, the best bars I've been in, whether in London, New York, Amsterdam, or pretty much anywhere else, have had bugger all outside to indicate their presence. Esp. the Blue Oyster Bar. Love that place. Par-tay!
