The Evangelist (Blackfriars - London)

The Evangelist

Well hidden on the back cobbled streets of Blackfriar's you seriously wouldn't even know it was there, the very long very slender effect of this large gastro style bar with open kitchen, sheek booths and a scattering of outdoor tables. The interior is set on different levels and the impression changes around each corner. In short you are impressed until you finally reach the bar at the end. Wine is around £5 a glass, the table service is terrible and the food is bad value for money. It does work well as a relaxing after-work bar but it is all show and little delivery. The essence of a bar-in-a-box, the only imgination used here is to hide punters in cubby hole booths which look like petals pulled from an exotic flower in the middle of, well, a gastro-pub.

Overall a nice place to bring a crowd mid-week for a few and its relatively unknwon except by the peopel in the area because it is well hidden from view so the target audience here is the audience and that might not be favourable by an outsider - 6/10
