Avoid. Like you might avoid an infectious disease. Went there the other day for our group's Christmas night out. Was without doubt the worst food I've ever had the displeasure to pay for anywhere in my entire life. The so-called Christmas buffet basically meant taking some very average food (pizza, cheap pate on bread etc) and smothering it in cranberry sauce and sweet pickle. Some sort of pasty thing was like a jam sandwich it was so sweet. There was a sweet cranberry sauce-free bowl of new potatoes, but they weren't cooked properly - crunchy how you might expect carrots to be.

I'm not a fussy eater but this was inedible. No atmosphere, lazy staff and grumpy door man too, this place has nothing to redeem it. Visit the dentist instead - you'd need to after eating here and it'd be more fun too.

Disagree.
Been there many times incl Dec 2008. Completely satisfied with food and the service!
Had Christmas party as well along with other 15 of my colleagues and had so much fun!!

The chicken wrap at Bar Room Bar is good. OK atmosphere but drinks are too pricey.

We went to the Bar Room Bar @ Arc on a Sunday night. Drinks were good, atmosphere seemed lively. The acts took to the stage. We were enjoying quiet conversation, but were asked to keep it down, despite being at the back of the bar and couldn't hear each other.
An almost enjoyable evening until a 'comedian' took to the stage and began white bashing! If you enjoy racist jokes, I would recommend Bar Room Bar @ Arc to you
