At first you think, this looks like the coolest place ever with it’s late 1980s, early 1990s style neon and video games parlour. It is deceptively hipster-ish. But like the movie ‘Clueless', it’s, like, totally a Monet. As in, looks great from a distance. But once you’re up close, it’s a total mess. I was really looking forward to visiting 1989. We sat at a table, that was so thick with grease that I wiped a serviette on it and it came off black. We eventually had to attract attention by going up to order, because it wasn't going to happen any other way, it became apparent. Our drinks were forgotten. We re-ordered. Their Wifi is so slow it’s unbelievable. Yes, it’s free but pointless in that case. The flies lazily buzzing around in the window, the humidity, and the clientele. The girl who kept loudly trying to make Church sound cool (give up), and the middle-aged dude at another table who actually appeared to be interviewing. Seriously, if you’re too cheap to have an actual office space, you’re going to choose here? The burger I ordered was terribly presented, fried within an inch of its life , everything overcooked and dripping in oil and mayonnaise. It spoke to me and what it said was 'I don't care'. Obnoxious, noisy, grotty looking staff. Seriously, there were no positives at all. Sure, at night when the lights go down they probably do an OK cocktail, it seems pretty popular. But I guess I’ll never know for sure because from me it’s just NO to ever going back.
