Seeing this place now it's been refurbished, they might as well have not bothered, to be honest. Slightly more shiny than before, they seem to have increased the standingdancing space, so its not a place to kick back and relax. Exactly the same clientele as before, it's still a mecca for those after that very generic psuedo-trendy bar atmosphere, but who want something less downmarket than the Walkabout or O'Neill's a few doors down. If you can, go earlier during the week to get the best seats in the house, from which you can overlook the street in the huge bay window and watch the world go by.
