Bar Aquarium (Old Street - London)

Bar Aquarium

Not to be confused with a club down the road with the same name, this is a bar/pub of surprises. Inside it is very pub-like and seems small with a fast, curtious bar facing you as you enter vai the front doorsand the bar splits of in two directions, both busy and both snaking into a well lit back room with 2 small banquet tables and expensive leather chairs, then this leads outside and up some stairs to a roof-top beer garden and another door leads onto a club floor complete with second bar, DJ and dancefloor. it gets to be a very busy venue early on in the evening but if you get in early it is the perfect place to bring a crowd. Drinks are about average price, the only drawback is the escallating temperature in the summer months and that it feels like a posh dining room in those winter months.

Despite its complexity it still feels a little compressed for what it is and some areas feel private where perhaps it may not be clear to punters. Overall 7/10.

I was no aware of the existence of this pub. It looks nice! Maybe I will go there.
