Casino Madness
A couple of friends asked me if I wanted to go to a casino night, I really didn’t fancy going to the west end and said so, only for my friends to say it was local, in fact round the corner in Lavender Hill. So I agreed and went along expecting an old table with a set of cards.
How wrong could I be, there was a roulette wheel, proper cards with chips and even a croupier, I was ecstatic as love a good gamble. So I settled down and began to play, I really liked the place, it is nicely decorated with a big screen to take your mind off the money your losing at the table!
They had an extensive range of cocktails and the guy at the bar did an excellent job of shaking or should it be stirring in this Bond era! All the cocktails were spot on though. The owner even joins in and it’s a real laugh, a great night indeed.
We left after more hours than had originally planned and agreed we had an excellent evening. It is now a regular in my calendar, it’s a great place to unwind after a hard and stressful day at the office playing with other peoples money!
