Pause Bar (Aldgate - London)

Pause Bar

This is a really swanky bar aside from the lack of space. There are plenty of seats but nearly all of them were reserved when I went for a quiet drink after work on a weeknight. The cocktails were small but really well made and the menu promised a wide selection. The service was really good where they brought your drinks to you. This saved jostling at the bar as it got very busy towards 6pm. The happy hour had decent offers – two for one on cocktails (but at £9 each that still didn’t provide enough of a discount for the size of the drink). Overall I think this is a nice venue that played decent music and created the right atmosphere. The clientele left a little to be desired as they were quite noisy and rude and the place got busier. The main downfall was the lack of space to meet the demand.

Rating: 6/10
