First drinks: A knowledgeable barman had some good recommendations for my whiskey-loving companion. My Aperol Spritz, however, was in an extra-large glass of ice, killing any flavour.
The vibe is: Dead on a Wednesday evening. There are less than 10 people here and no one in the Nook bar, which
you pass through to get to the bathrooms, adding to the ghost-town vibe.
The toilets: feature high-quality fixtures but are poorly maintained: A loo roll was left resting on the bench as there was no dispenser.
On the stereo: Generic house music which exacerbates the soulessness.
