Candid Outlook: Eighteen Sky Bar, Greenwich

-


On this social occasion, due to time and distance constraints, I was forced to look for a bar which was close by but still had similar aesthetically pleasing views. Fortunately, I was able to find Eighteen Sky Bar, a top-floor bar based in the InterContinental at 02 with views overlooking areas such as Canary Wharf.

On arrival, my friend and I were met by helpful reception staff who explained how to get to the bar which was by taking the lift to the top floor. On a Sunday evening, the hotel seemed very tranquil and relaxed which I enjoyed thoroughly. 
When we reached the top floor, there was a window to the left of the lifts which showed a beautiful view, another perfect spot for those who love to take pictures.







As we arrived to the bar, we was pleasantly acknowledge by the host for the evening and shown to a table by the window. The bar was very quiet, which is surprising for a weekend evening, but was lovely as it meant the waiter was very attentive and the service was fast.




The cocktails were strong with simple garnishes and presented in a careful manner. Many times, I lost my trail of conversation just by looking through the glass as the view from the table by the window was gorgeous.

Overall, the evening was nice and I would recommend this bar if you are in the area and looking for a tranquil spot to have conversation over drinks.

Candid Outlook: Sette, Knightsbridge

Disclaimer: As someone who loves food, I try to be completely factual, to the point, unbiased and wholeheartedly opinionated solely driven by a holistic experience. I don’t think it’s right to create an opinion of a restaurant based on one waiter/waitress neither do I think it’s fair to say that a restaurant is fantastic if you’ve had several less than satisfactory experiences. Sette Knightsbridge This Knightsbridge restaurant based in the Bulgari Hotel oozes luxury and refinement. Within its first few months of opening, I went during the winter months - December 2019. It blew me away as with its amazing service, tasty dishes and modern decor. I felt reunited for my love for all things authentic and Italian.  The restaurant made me feel like I was in Milan with its sleek but very plush and comfortable interior. Food We started off with the complimentary bread basket which hands down - the best bread I've had in London. I'd happily go back just to eat the bread ha! The bread bas...

Candid Outlook: Madison, St Pauls

I had an ordinary working week, a bit more stressful than usual, so I decided to meet up with good friends for after work drinks. The destination was Madison, a rooftop bar based in St Pauls with views of the cathedral and a restaurant space for keen diners. On arrival, my two friends and I took the elevator up to the top floor and was met by a friendly hostess who asked if we were here for the bar or restaurant. After stating we were here for the bar, she kindly made us aware that we had a choice of two spots – inside or outside. With inside being so busy, we opted for this place first to see what the vibe was like on the inside. The inside restaurant and bar were very lively and busy which is expected on a Friday evening. There were a lot of business type attire which I assume is due to people who have come straight after work. Many people were standing in little groups with drinks in their hand and those who arrived early or reserved had a table by the window. On app...

Candid Outlook: Rozay Lounge

Rozay Lounge, West Hampstead  A few key things to note about this very pink and cute restaurant/hookah lounge and bar.  - The kitchen is not open all evening and closes around 10:00pm. Therefore, if you wish to dine, it is advisable to arrive early.  - The bar also shuts an hour before the venue closes. This is usually at midnight.  - The location is a little bit smaller than expected with 4 dining tables on the inside & double the amount of tables outside for shisha.  - The shisha part of the restaurant is outside with an inside feel as it is covered. It is quite snug but maintains social distancing between diners.  The aesthetics are Instagram worthy, with cherry blossom on every corner and pink lighting beaming throughout the venue. The chairs are pink, the teddy bears are pink and even the signature drink is pink too!  Each table is already dressed for each diner and is adequately equipped with hand sanitizer. The menu has a variety of opinions...
