The Distillery — Restaurant in England

This bar needs to completely replace its staff, give the place a DEEP CLEAN, and any kitchen staff need not be anywhere near food preparation or cooking ever again.

Food: Shockingly bad, how do you undercook pizza?! And chicken wings?! These are basic bar kitchen foods?!

Service: Non-Existent staff were either having indepth discussions on skateboarding or buying vape pens from their local vagrant. BIG NO NO NEVER LET NON STAFF HANG AROUND THE KITCHEN AND BEHIND THE BAR AREA.

Atmosphere: None, televisions have no sound, staff talking nonsense amongst themselves and paying next to no attention to the very little customers they have.

Last but not least...

First impressions are massively important, so someone explains to me why empty bottles, pint glasses, and plates are sat on tables outside the main entrance. The floor is sticky and horrible to look at?! This place can't even do the very basics right, and as a hospitality consultant, I'm flabbergasted at how little due care and attention this place takes...

I was hungry so I ate it but noone came to check how it was. The cocktails were ok, the espresso martini wasn't garnished with coffee beans though. Overall a disappointing experience that I wouldn't be in a...

Drinks (even standard brands) so overpriced compared to better places within two minutes' walk. Staff seemed unhappy and therefore unwelcoming when I went, I suspect they are badly paid, trained and/or managed. This bar feels like a cynical attempt to exploit the recent fashion for high quality beer, spirits and cocktails by upholstering a prime location nicely (and it does look nice), while doubling pieces but missing out the commitment to good drinks and customer experience; I.e. chasing profit on the idea that customers won't notice. Or I'm wrong and it's unintentional, maybe teething troubles and will get better. Either way it's currently a waste of a good site.

To be fair, I didn't eat there, so perhaps the food's...
