Review of Mechu Drinking Dancing Dining

04 May 08, 15:06

Is it good though... really

This bar is very well presented, there is plenty of space but something just isn't right

I can sum it up in my bathroom experience here...

The freshen-up guy in the gents really didn't get the fact, that i was capable of washing my own hands and that he needed to move if i was going to get to the hand drier. I know we're all used to finding ways around freshen-up guy, but this one was determined, he just wasn't gonna let it fly... what really got to me was that he was hiding one of those blade hand driers, that are ten times better than than the paper towels that he has pilfered from the cubicals!

Apply this rule of thumb to the rest of the place and thats meechu, fine if you like to waste money for nothing... but rubbish if you want good value and self-respect

Review of Bar Epernay

Can... you hear a piano?

No... but there is one

If you are attracted to bars that elevate themselves by using gimicks like a revolving grand piano... then go, it's grrrreat!

But, if you can see through these facades, then don't bother. The drinks are expensive and the people... aren't your people!

And if you are thinking... "hmmm i like pianos and the sounds that come out of them, i might just go anyway - regardless of what this synical roughian might say" ... don't bother, because you won't be able to hear it over the chattering of drunk people

I mean honestly, how dizzy must that pianist get!

Review of Red

Oooh, its loud!

Nice bar this, alittle pricey - but very comfortable and friendly

Only thing is, i've only ever been there on a friday/saturday night and i did think the music was too loud for such a small watering hole.

Thanks for the memories, but i don't fancy tinitus

Review of Isaacs the Bar on the Waterfront

Continental Drinks

If you want to escape the british way of drinking, you can find a continental watering hole on the docks

This is recomended in the summer, get a cool drink, sit outside and enjoy the clean air and funny looking boat people

Definately worth it

Review of Pitcher & Piano

A Nice Bar

This bar is very pallettable, it is well kept - the service is better than you expect and it is very comfortable in off-peak hours

However, on a friday or saturday night - the place is packed and very difficult to get served and stuffy

Review of The Sports Cafe

Its not a cafe...

It is a great place for pool with some mates (can’t say I’ve played all by myself) and to catch the football / rugby with some cheap beer... but smells a bit like sick
