A very comfortable, but expensive bar, though the prices are par for the course in this area of town. The setting is fantastically plush. However, the staff a little slow, even when the bar is quiet.

The food looks good value, though I haven’t tried it.

Another style bar, but this one has an ‘older’ feel to it. I think they are aiming for a 25+ clientelle and have refurbed the old Bar38 to reflect this. The cocktail list is lovely, and when I was in on a week night, the 3 of us and 2 others were the only people in the bar. For me that is a good thing though, as I hate the pretentious vibe that George street picks up at a weekend. Food nibbles and tapas are also available. Not the cheapest bar, but nice for a stylish drink in comfortable, peaceful surroundings!

The old Bar 38 has been redone and redone well, with more of a focus on a bar again with great food served daily, the decor redone and the clientele completely changed it is far more of a pleasure to head there for a meal or drink these days.
