Apt Bar, City Of London

Apt is the kind of place where dreams are made. That is it can be the night of your life, or unravel into a nightmare. As bipolar as a sexually experimental polar bear; busy nights can be laden with pretty people game for a carnival of flirting, but can just as easily descend into a m�l�e of belligerent drunken fools waiting for any excuse to practice their white collar boxing. City egos... Funtime Frankies or Turgid Tysons.

To reiterate a previous review, I happened to speak to one of the senior barmen recently who informed me Thursday nights were more often than not frequented by the faux-upper crust; those of who are the types to start a tab, depart as the lights go up and cancel the card the next morning. Tsk tsk. Does the 90s TLC hit 'No Scrubs' apply here?

My suggestion is to attend one Thursday, go a bit early, or even reserve a seating area ahead of time for a group of your friends and enjoy the music with familiar company, then you'll have a great time.

I will also second a previous critic in that it isn't the cheapest venue, however happy hour does last from 6 til 8.
