I finally managed to visit a couple of nights back, hitting the bar pretty early in the evening as I was going on to see a band elsewhere. (Broadcast at the Deaf Institute, in case you were wondering!). Even early on, there was a good number of people checking the place out, which is always a good sign. Basement bars often have a difficulty getting a foothold in a busy bar scene.

Anyway, these are obviously still early days and it probably needs to accumulate some Tiki clutter to increase the Tiki bar vibe, but at the moment, they are obviously concentrating on getting the drinks right. To my mind, that's getting the priorities right. The bar is well stocked with about 80 different rums, and they hope to expand the range even more.
I had two Zombies (Buy one get one free during happy hour) and they were well made - nicely balanced, served very cold and with a suitable kick.

A worthy addition to the rapidly expanding UK Tiki scene.
