My experience at 25 Hours Bar was fairly average, with both noticeable highlights and clear letdowns.
First, the pricing—drinks here are definitely on the higher side, more expensive than most bars of the same type. The value for money just isn’t standout.

The staff was super friendly and fun to chat with. Can’t...
