The Medicine Bar
Feb 2009 - The Medicine Bar is now closed
From the outside this place looks like an antique shop where in fact inside it is more a Gothic-feeling cocktail bar with elaborate decor but expensive drinks. The cheapest cocktails are about £6 but the bar is well stocked and the service is fast. Looking around the place seems a little cramped and the music is all wrong for the feel of the place, surely a Gothic place would have similar clientele- well that’s wrong because in Upper street only the trendiest come here. Halfway down the bar you find some stairs which lead up to two small room equipped with a bar and soft furnishings. It is a little small but feels lost in the experimental trance echoing through the place. It feels like it is trying to be different and it certainly has character, just not the type that reflects a good night out.
I leave feeling bewildered. Needs some smarter changes. Overall 5/10.
