Attendees: Ben, Cam, Michael, Fae, Ivanka, Richo, Jos, (Tim & Claude)
Price: Charging pint prices for schooners. Poor form.
Location: 285 Brunswick St, Fitzroy
Distance: 10min walk - a decent stroll away.
Obscurity: None. Right in the heart of one of the most popular nightlife strips.
Ambiance: Atmoshphere "in a can". Trying way to hard and annoying lounge house music doesn't fit.
Character: Manufactured. Bimbos copy.
Decor: Quite good individually - great pieces such as a wall of back lit glass bottles. But together it seems a little cluttered and tryhard.
Comfort: Good provision of different spaces - small dark corners for a date or large round tables and counters for groups. Lots of options.
Patron hotness: Hit and miss. "I'm really rating the black chicks though" BH
Patron attitude: Subdued but easygoing & welcoming on a Wednesday.
Service: Amazing. Table service = win. Chatty bar staff as well.
Staff hotness: Dudes doing alright. Girls not.
Amenities: 5 star. An event in itself. Worthy of an award
Specials: Pintxos (Spanish snacks) - take from underneath the bar and pay at the end based on how many toothpicks you have (honesty system). So as cheap as you want ($2 each normally). 50c each on Monday. Bimbos style infused vodkas.
Outdoor area: No
Arbitrary Score: 70
Trying too hard to be a lighter, trendier version of Bimbos & Lucky Coq. Amazing amenities. A good option amongst some much scummier Brunswick St alternatives. Potential for a pretty wanky weekend crowd (hard to avoid on B'wick St these days!)
