| You'll queue for a while to get a drink. The bar top is constantly wet and the seating is limited. Here's the catch.The drinks are awesome and loaded (try the Cheeky Monkee), the locals and visitors are friendly and the bar staff are crazy. You'll not want to leave and will awake with a hangover to rival any previous ones and you'll go back. Trust me! Mark - 7 Jun 2006 17:34 |
| Freud Bar is most easiliy spotted from the street by the astonishing creeper that wends its way up three storeys and then down the other side - all one plant, like a Big Mama Triffid. Down the black metal stairs to the basement bar, which feels surprisingly warm and cosy despite the brutalist raw concrete decor. In the daytime its restful, with free Guardians and great homemade soup for £3.50. In the evenings it fills up early with a fashionable but friendly youngish crowd. Original art on the walls changes monthly and is usually pretty good. The bar staff might appear a tad surly occasionally but in fact are taking their work seriously - they are master cocktail-makers, and even the non-alcoholic cream soda and Freud's Lemonade are worth trying. Bottled beers and regular drinks are at very acceptable prices considering this is Covent Garden, darling. A tip: in the evening, get there early, or be prepared to have to hover and pounce in order to get a table for you and your mates. Gav - 10 Feb 2006 14:34 |
