Read moreI really wanted to love this place, the sofas/styling and the drinks are great, the bartender is also super nice. The anesthetics are exactly what I was looking for. Liffy II would be perfect as a low-key, intimate bar. The only issue is the music is extremely loud and makes you want to dance.
