Square Meal Review of Dirty Martini ?

Drink ’em dirty, bone dry or wet at this New York-style speakeasy-cum-DJ lounge. Martinis, that is. It’s also ideal if you fancy investigating some international takes on the genre: Shanghai or Irish sour; Polish passion; Brazilian fizz; Old Trinidadian (Angostura 1919 rum, bitters, maple syrup & crème de cacao); sweet Swede; Indian (Bombay Sapphire shaken with violette liqueur, mango & lemon juice) or Colombian head cold (cocoa leaf liqueur, Jägermeister, Chambord & lime). Wines from under £15 & similarly priced, global sharing platters get the thumbs up from members of ‘generation Wii’ who frequent the place. A daily happy-hour policy extends to 10pm (Monday to Thursday), encouraging dirty stopouts to disport until at least 1am, if not later.

    Avoid at all costs-I had a lovely meal in the main part upstairs at Tuttons. But then went to start my hen night thinking it was a classy cool cocktail bar but oh my good god.

    We arrived having reserved a booth, to which each person had to spend a minimum amount on drinks etc, this would have been fine-if we had been served! We walked in to what could only be described as a health and safety hazard waiting to happen-a tiny room down some stairs with a bar, jammed with people- we had to ask for a certain waiter -we were told by the security guy upstairs-in order to get our booth as others had occupied it-so my friend asked for this person was greeted with a dirty look from the head barman. Nice!

    Anyway we got the booth sorted in the end, and the 1st thing that hits you is the smell, seriously Dirty Martini-I am telling you this for your own good, clear up your act-it smells of either sick or stail urine-and trust me you don't even get used to it no matter how long you are there!

    The booth only fit 6 people and there were 12 of us so half were left standing-and you cant dance as there is no dance floor?? I have no idea why they play the music so loud if you can't dance?

    Ok so we thought lets try out a drink-40 mins later and the people who had arrived after us had been served b4 us-we waited and waited and they said they had lost the order, fantastic! So not only were we sat in a place smelling of sick, there was no air con so we were roasting, and we couldnt have a dance or a drink-very dissapointing so we left and moved on to Road house down the road-which was far far better made up for it all!
