Venue type: Bar
Review: Claudia Kane
Dim lighting, classy. Waiters flitting around in their black suits taking drinks orders at tables. Think long to very long bar on one side, sandstone, lit up in blue. Dark cushioned seating in cosy alcove style down the middle of the room, dividers of the black iron lattice type.
Now picture curtains around most of the Long Room's walls. Look really closely and you notice the holes. All around are hidden alcoves (for about 15 people each) with more great couches and cushions. There's even a second, smaller bar in one area.
Eye catching and interesting objects make up the rest of the room - strange statues, moose antlers, bubble lamps, you name it.
The location's just right, too, being part of the Georges complex. The Long Room is an upmarket bar that will suit many just nicely.
Our tip: watch out for the smart casual dress code. It's the Georges complex, after all.

Readers' Reviews
When you first enter the Long Room, you're faced with a bar as far as the eye can see, seconded by the suits, skirts and general attire. On the surface, one would say the Long Room draws a pretentious crowd - though you soon find everyone to be as friendly and welcoming as you are.
The clientele are generally professional, and tend to look the part. If you're looking for a great night out, with the possibility of meeting a special someone with whom you can enjoy an intelligent conversation, don't go past the Long Room.
Finally, the venue is large. Lots of bar space, as well as a couches area. But on Fridays it's a full-house. Get in early to avoid the line-up.
