Had to write something after reading previous review... The place is intimate, ie small, you don't go there to lounge around on velvet sofas but to enjoy edgy cabaret, cool coctails, wacky loos and a brilliant text jukebox. Course its full sometimes - it only takes 60 - If you're after somewhere quiet and reserved the Savoy re-opens in a few months time...

Disappointing 6th October 2008

Ugh! Not what its website claims it to be at all. "30s Berlin meets New York basement dive"? Far from it. More like "90s tack meets tourist trap". We stopped by on a Friday evening with high hopes for quality live music, a laid-back vibe, maybe some red velvet upholstery… But what we walked into was total carnage. It was packed to the rafters with whooping girls taking digital self portraits and guys in suits trying to pull them. Mirrored walls, cheesy lighting... Ick. I think I see what they were trying to do with the decor, but... FAIL. Disappointing to say the least.

You should try going to Parker McMillan if you're looking for a New York type venue... especially if you like Jazz gigs.

Thanks for the tip, Wallid. I will give it a try :-)
