Its quite busy in the evenings-especially the outside sitting area. On the night we were there,there was a young man behind the bar-wearing spectacles-,engaging his guests,smiley,lean(making one feel likes he just made 18!! Anyways,we ordered their signature drink.....and he put on quite a show!! Like a proper barman!! Haven't seen proper barmen in quite a good long while,sadly!!! I enjoyed the antics...even got a video of it!!! If you havent seen this barman doing his art(oh,am told they are two though go see what am talking about.. Keep up the show!!! Kiitos!!

Perfect pre/post evening dinner or theatre. I used to drink in the Cafe Royal in Piccadilly, London (gone now, sadly , but this place, whilst vastly smaller is as good!
