A pleasant ten-minute walk past an array of bars clustered around the bridge, this first-floor boathouse-like venue above Caffe Crema makes great use of its location. It's occasionally hired for private parties but when it's open to all, you can gaze over the twinkling lights around the lock and the bobbing barges as you sip your Erdinger.
If it's too nippy, the interior is long and artily loft-like, and fairly relaxed - at least compared to the glug-'em-quick vibe on the main drag. Bottled beers, everyone's favourite Belgians, are preferable to standard tap lagers; cocktails are at prices just high enough to keep out spiky-haired young backpackers.
There's food, but most are happy to sit around and gaze; or, when DJs amp up the atmosphere
at weekends, to take to the floor.

Tables outdoors ( 10, terrace ), Babies and children admitted ( until 7pm ), Disabled ( toilet ), Entertainment ( backgammon 7pm 1st & 4th Wed of month; comedy 7pm alternate Thur; DJs 7pm Fri-Sun )Had lunch here today. Ordered around 1.15pm, finally got main course around 2.45pm, after other customers after us had eaten. Waitress apologetic. There were 6 of us, we had two platters and a variety of baguettes, one fish and chips, about two drinks each, the bill came to £128, they'd included a service charge-very cheeky.
Went to the ladies. There are four loos, two of which have the seats missing. There are four wash basins, two of which have notices that they are out of order [looked as if they'd been there for a while].
I used to enjoy coming to this bar, I won't bother again.
Great cocktails, great service and the staff were really friendly and quick, will definately be spending lots of summer evenings here!!
