Motion Bar (Embankment - London)

Motion Bar

An underground bar and club tucked away next to Embankment tube station. Entrance to the bar is via a staircase to the left of an updoor restaurant, past a cove of couches halfway down the stairs overlooking the venue then unleashed onto the lower levels. Before looking around we head straight for one of the bars (there are two in total) and find a jug of cocktail for £9 - a good deal for the area but it is happy hour after all. Its a failry young as i can tell by the candlelit lighting effects and between the arches there appear to be large tables which can be reserved for groups served by velvet couches in a soft red. The bar staff are a little clumsy however and seem awful out of place among the soft background music which thankfully one can happily talk over. Deceptively there is in fact no dancefloor though this doesnt stop many people shaking there thing in the spacious aisles. Afetr a couple of glasses of cocktail i realise how strong they make them and leave the way I came in and the crowds retreat and fill the club in waves.

Apparently quieter later on, will be busy at seven but thats probably for happy hour. Overall a top 7/10, i'm sure i'll be returning.
