This bar is located at the far end of Endell Street away from Covent Garden. It doesnt do food and its not the bast inside - it does have a few tables outside though which is nice if the sun is shining. They have a happy hour (2 for 1 on selected cocktails, including a very nice mojito) which lasts from 5pm-9pm Monday - Wednesday, and 5pm-8pm Thursday-Saturday. The toilets arent great.
But down to business. Their bloody mary is not included in the happy hour and therefore costs £6.50 for one, and we watched it being constructed with a growing sense of dread... they put as much worcester sauce in as was left in the bottle, but it wasnt much. They used schwepps tomato juice, which always tastes fairly concentrated, no salt (celery or otherwise) and no pepper, then they put almost a shot of lemon juice in....
On tasting it had quite an overpowering horseradish flavour, and was fairly acidy due to the amount of lemon juice. But it wasn't AS bad as we had feared. It wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but it got easier with time. It caused quite a conflict of opinion - some people quite liked it, some could not bare it - so consider yourself warned if you decide to test it out, but the lack of food and comfort doesn't make this place a good hangover hide-out. 5/10.
