| Now called Il Cicchetto and owned and run by a couple of Italian chaps, this place has a great Friday night vibe. Live DJs from 6pm has had the punters grooving on the last 2 Friday's I've been there, even managing to pull in a hard working council bin man for a quick boogey before he had to run and catch his truck! San Miguel, Carlsburg, Guiness on tap, cocktails and Italian type snacks on offer. BadaBaz - 3 Jul 2011 17:36 |
| Re-visited on Thursday afternoon to find it re-opened. The impressive tiled exterior is let down by the lounge-bar style interior. Inside, there is little or no atmosphere. The TV was showing Sky Sports News, but with no sound. After a while, the barman did switch on some ambient music. But this did little to improve the atmosphere. There are 3 glass tables with stools and a separate area of 'cube-like' seating around a lower table. The Adnams Bitter handpull had its clip turned round, leaving a choice of Becks Vier, Peroni, Staropramen or Guinness on draught. Bulmers was available in bottles (£4.10) and 'gourmet pies' were advertised at £2.95 each. Cocktail menus were supplied for each table. This may be a place for a fleeting visit after work. But probably not one to linger. blue_scrumpy - 22 May 2010 12:38 |
