Review:  


Small 1st floor bar that is upstairs from Scalini's restaurant on Osborne Road. A large staircase to the left of the main entrance leads to a small bar with a part tiled and wooden floor. The bar is bright and airy by with glass windows to the front with wooden blinds. The bar has a distinctive Mediterranean feel with the decor primarily maroon and gold pastel colours. There is also several clay pots and urns and an array of wine bottles on display. The walls are adorned with several small pictures of a drink theme and Private Eye magazine covers.

There is plenty of seating throughout with modern style low tables and chairs and high stools next to the bar. A balcony area overlooks the restaurant below and in this area there are two widescreen TV's where live sports are on show. Regular music is on play at most times. The bar attracts a more upmarket crowd of young people, business people and those dining out at Scalini's. It is busy on a weekend but can be a little through the week.

Outside there is a very large forecourt area that has further seating. There is plenty of tables and chairs with some heated lamps. Disabled access can be difficult to the bar as access is up a flight of stairs. The bar is fully air conditioned. Toilets are small and clean.


Price: Moderate.
