This new link in the popular bar chain hasn’t been open for too long, but it’s already pulling in plenty of punters. The clientele is largely dressed up to the nines – or at least the sevens – but it’s still possible to get in with just a T-shirt, jeans and trainers. Inside it may be a little bit of a struggle to find enough seats for a big gang – like we said, the place is popular – but once settled, the crowd gives it a pleasantly intimate vibe, as does the low lighting and plush surroundings. The staff is friendly and efficient – though perhaps not numerous enough to deal with the masses – and there’s a veritable rainbow of bottles behind the bar.
