This is a fairly new (2008) bar, and is clean, trendy enough and quite smart. It's just off from the main centre of Victoria which is a good location as a) it gives you somewhere to go in Victoria and b) is away from the rest of the work crowds who overpopulate the other bars (since there aren't really that many decent places to go in Victoria).

The place looks nice inside - chunky wooden tables, good lighting etc. There's usually background music of pop songs - and it stays as background music, it's never turned up, so you can always hear conversation.

The furniture is a bit of a mix, comfort-wise. The sofas are really comfortable, if you get these. The high tables with high stools, however, might look nice but aren't very comfortable to sit back and relax in.

The food is ok. Standard bar menu (burger, lasagne etc). It's not amazing, but is good enough.

Final note: this is a tiny bar, so don't turn up expecting anything massive. It's function really is a smart bar that you can drop by for an after-work drink, or during work lunch.
