Evil Eye is a popular venue for students with its adventurous cocktails and relaxed atmosphere.
Its claim to fame is that Hollywood star Johnny Depp once declared that it was his favourite bar.
I know for a fact that the Johnny Depp rumour is rubbish as I used to know three members of staff at evil eye who told me the then manager made it up to drill up publicity. It obviously worked!
I know Johnny personally so I questioned him on the matter, he assures me that the Evil Eye still stands as his favourite.
I'm Johnny Depp and I only drink at Varsity. Peace.
It's a shame that evil eye is in so much trouble, it's easily one of the coolest bars in town. I finished a monster roast there!
A friend of mine used to work there and told me that the staff weren't actually allowed to drink while on shift, they were encouraged! Love it.
This is Johnny and you're all liars!
I don't know any of you!
Stop pretending to know/be me!
It makes me feel sad. I cry. My makeup runs.
I used to drink at Evil Eye in York, it's true, but I came on to a beautiful woman there and it turned out to be a GUY!
So I never went back. I should have known when he told me his name was Tony :(
Forget fires! WATCH OUT FOR LADYMEN!
