Cube & Star (Old Street - London)

Cube & Star

From the outside this place looks like a darkened strip club but inside it reveals itself to be a very up market and cosmopolitan exhibition of cuban artworks, rum and fine cigars. Venturing inside you pass various tables reserved for what appears to be royalty by the throne-effect of the seats and the venue becomes a well-stocked cocktail bar to the left with leather furniture to the right. At the back there are stairs which decsend on a club open later on. At the bar a bottle of beer is three pounds and a coktail is six, expensive yes but delicious indeed! The place doesn't get too crowded and the back lit canvas' on the ceiling produces a relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere.

Overall a 7/10 bringing the night alive with great cocktails and jazzy cuban tunes even if it is a little pricey.
