Let's get one thing clear straight away - there is absolutely no African connection here, either in the food, decor or theme. If anything it takes its inspiration from America and New Orleans lounge bars in particular - think canvas awnings, ceiling fans and deep sofas. It's slick, relatively sophisticated and attracts students, media-types from the BBC just down the road and professionals, getting especially packed at weekends with those wanting to live the high life. The restaurant upstairs serves up an American and fusion menu - voodoo fishcakes, sesame-coated catfish fillet, nachos etc. - while the bar downstairs is famed for its fabulous cocktails, served with entertaining flourishes by the bar staff. They do serve the standard beers, spirits and wines as well, but honestly, why would you bother when you can have a Manhattan or a Seabreeze?
