Review:
Large stylish bar
that was formerly known as Hooties and more recently The Apartment. The bar is from the owners of As You Like it,
Mr Lynch and Nancy's Bordello .
It has been given a complete makeover that should make it more appealing to all tastes.
It is decked out in the style of a Miami bar & tropical garden with palm trees
and bright colours throughout. There is even an outside beer garden area within the bar with seating and a BBQ that
churns out reasonably priced meals.
The bar has large glass windows to the front that create a bright
and airy feel to the place. There is a long bar
with a stone floor and brickwork pillars to the centre of
the bar. Regular music on play at most times with
a DJ or live music every night. There is a small stage
located opposite to the bar. The lighting system
is stylish throughout with large ball type
chandeliers and low drop down lighting. There is
plenty of comfortable seating throughout in all of
the different areas.
There are further bars to the rear and a VIP bar downstairs for celebs or footballers.
The bar attracts a
mixed clientele and is very busy on most nights
when there is often a queue forming outside. VIP's and footallers are also known to frequent the bar.
During the day there is a more relaxed atmosphere
with steady clientele of business people. The bar
is air conditioned.
Disabled access to the
bar is excellent with stair lifts to access
certain areas. Toilets are small and clean.

Expensive - moderate during happy hour times.
