Bar Review 3
Buddha Bar in the Grosvenor hotel at the Marina.
Seriously upmarket establishment this, beautifully decorated and achingly fashionable, even early on the place was packed with some fantastic, 2 figure numberplated, ironware parked outside.
Service a little snooty but ok and prices not too ridiculous, clientele was interesting with a much higher percentage of local chaps and chapesses than normal.
Drinks were fine and we didn't eat but the food looked great. However, on the downside, all this effort was spoiled by truly atrocious music. The Weasel had waited for Eid to try the place simply to make sure it was seen at its best, and music is one of the USPs for all Buddha bars.
So why was he subjected to dirge after dirge that had him crying into his G&T and eventually drove him from the place, seriously one of the worst sets ever heard.
It probably needs a second try to see if this was a one off but a course of prozac may be a sensible precaution before visiting again.
