A mainstream crowd gravitates to Gem for gyrating salsa & Brazilian nights midweek, but everyone can get happy from 5pm to 8pm daily, when food & drink are half price. Cosmo is still the default cocktail of choice for Grazia girls, while caipirinha & mojito suit FHM lads. Value wines kick in at £15-30 or thereabouts for a top-ticket vino such as Crozes-Hermitage; bubbles start at under a fiver for cava, but Dom Pérignon at £155 is the fizz of choice for special occasions. Flaming hot BBQ chicken wings or pepperoni pizza from Gem’s crowd-pleasing menu might spice up a girl’s life in a venue whose bargain-basement/suburban ‘starter flat’ chic is clearly on target.
