Any one else been here yet?? Went last night,very nice bar imo,nice decor,good tunes,not overly expensive (£4.90 for 2 pints) and friendly door staff. They've got a massive wine list,including cistal at about £200 a bottle for all you players out there. Should be nice in the summer when you'll be able to sit on the terrace outside,definatly worth checking out.

Also went to Sola last night for the first time in about a year, £3 a pint in there now,glad it wasn't my round!

That's going to be its problem.

We heard about it and never even saw it the other week when we walked down Norfolk St, but last Friday a group of us went down only because someone had specifically arranged it and lo and behold there it was hidden away in Tudor Sq.

It seems really badly laid out - all ramp and steps. I don't understand why the entrance wasn't in the rotunda at the lower level... therefore no space hungry ramp and steps.

The seating area needs sorting out too - either arrange it better or get rid of the tables. They take up far too much space and it looks cluttered and untidy to say there's only about 6 tables in a huge area.

Unfortunately, I think it will bomb, but I do hope it succeeds for the proprietors hard efforts.

I thought the bar was going round the whole of the building, but I heard that the other side may be another chinese buffet.
