Review:
This ultra modern bar (part of the
Inventive Leisure PLC chain) just oozes class. As
you enter you will be amazed at the sheer size of
the place. The architecture within is the most
impressive of any bar in town. There are huge ornate
pillars that span the length of the bar and an
exceptionally sculptured high ceiling, that has to
be seen to be believed. The top of the walls are of
marble design and there is carved wooden panelling
throughout. Beautiful shaded lights that run along
the full length of the stainless steel topped bar
and throughout the the pub, further enhances its
character.
The large
glass windows to the front of the pub give it a
bright and airy feel. There is a wooden floored area
by the bar with plenty of standing room, and
directly opposite there are a number of high backed
leather seated booths with tables and chairs. Sofa
styled seating can be found near the main entrance
and at the other end there is a corner area that is
used as a small dance floor.
There is an
upper raised area that has similar leather seating
and settees and an open fire to the centre. A small
corner bar can be found in this area. The
atmosphere in the bar can best be described as
intimate, with a feel of East meets West and
is
a good place to relax and enjoy a drink. It
attracts a mixed clientele of business people and
partygoers and is popular with the young crowd at
the weekend.
There is regular music on play
at most times. A DJ is a feature on Monday, Friday and
Saturday playing motown, jazz, funk & hip hop. Live Jazz music on Sunday nights.
Toilets are smart and
clean. Disabled access excellent - with own
toilets to the rear.
The pub is available for private
parties and functions and buffets can be arranged.
They also accept major credit cards and a cash
machine is located near to the main entrance.
