A perennial favourite and lots of fun. This drop-dead gorgeous bar simply oozes style and decadence. Drinks are remarkably good while food consists of an intriguing range of international dishes. You would never know from the visually stunning furnishing and decor that this bar was a former meat-processing warehouse!
