Packed on a Friday night, unsuprisingly. Very stylish bar with lots of pretty people - I would probably go back, but maybe during the week to avoid the crowds. Champagne cocktails were tasty and the staff were attentive and polite.

The Long Bar at the Sanderson hotel is very impressive looking, ultra chic and minimalist, with unusual looking furniture in the hotel entrance.

The bar is certainly very long and you need to jostle your way in to get a space. The bar staff seem to know their stuff and can rustle up any requested cocktail in the blink of an eye.

The Long Bar is a great establishment for people watching, highly amusing. All types can be seen posing at the bar, from wannabee fashion types, lawyers and accountants, the odd celeb and orange, bleach blonde older women on the look out for a wealthy catch.

All in all, the long Bar is a great place, music isn't too bad either and an entertaining, fun evening can be had by all.
