Mostly quite friendly staff, security guy especially polite which is always a refreshing change, but let's say 50/50 as far as the clientele, all a bit too young & excitable. Their toilets were a bit grim on a Saturday night, & the downstairs bar is a better bet than upstairs if you like some degree of Covid safety. Absolutely zero air flow or fans upstairs in the 'speakeasy' which rapidly became a shouteasy, and was like a sauna. Perfect way to transmit covid, no masks on any customer at any time, only about half the staff, no social distancing, didn't really see any attempts at safety at all. One to avoid if you're trying to remain vigilant during this pandemic, like most bars in Brighton & Hove, there's not even the smallest sign of caring about those at risk now in mid August, a month after 'freedom day' when we were urged to remain cautious. But then, that's clearly also central government policy, so you can't really blame a city centre venue for their behaviour when it's obvious the tories want us back to work, paying taxes, and are happy to be losing the weakest and poorest in order to achieve herd immunity through an increase in widespread transmission. Well... That all got quite dark, quite quickly, where the hell did that all come from...
