Just wanted to rant a little about my former favourite bar. When this place first opened, it was a chilled out and friendly bar, with a great crowd, and good music.
Now though, partly due to it becoming a victim of it's own success, and partly greed. It's now hideously overcrowded, to the point where it is near impossible to move around. The bouncers are moody, rude, and on occasions aggressive. They now do the same as every other bar in Stratford, which is to play the same dull dance music you get in every other bar, and as loud as they possibly can, forcing you into a shouting competition. As if it wasn't smokey enough in there with a total lack of air conditioning, they now have a smoke machine to make the air as opaque and unbreathable as possible. On top of all this, you're now expected to pay £5 for the privilege!
On the whole, what was once a unique and refreshing change from the norm of every other bar in Stratford. Has now become just another hole with absolutely nothing unique to offer. Even the membership cards which were issued to us regulars, and which claimed to allow you to miss the cues, don't count for diddly squat.
Can you tell I'm upset?
