There's the usual selection of Lion beers on tap and the wine list is okay, if a bit run-of-the mill. The cocktails look good and taste good, too, although a bit of theatre in the making of them would go a long way. They're reasonably priced, though, which isn't always a strength of Britomart bars.
The food is another drawcard here. Platters, pizzas and small dishes abound and the prices aren't overly bandit-ish.
The service was a different story, or perhaps that should be an indifferent story. Certainly the staff weren't rude, but they did seem inattentive and almost exhausted beyond caring, as though they'd had a hard few nights.
Payment was received with a shrug and a sigh, rather than a "thank you, come again", which once again put me in mind of some large and largely inefficient arm of the public service. If they could serve their public with a bit more enthusiasm they'd be on to a winner.
