Review: Julie Whiting
East meets West in this quirky bar influenced by a mixture of cultures. The first thing one encounters upon entry to Sentido Funf is the main bar, where during busy times, drinkers prop on bar stools to soak up the vibes in comfort.
The adjoining room is similarly decorated in chintzy Baroque style, complete with old fashioned wallpaper and a fountain. You could be forgiven for settling down here and soaking up the rich atmosphere into the wee hours, but not before you check out the annex - a more contemporary, less cluttered area with its own bar and beer garden. Oriental is the order of the day out the back here, with a weeping cherry blossom tree inside to create some good Feng Shui.
Some beats play on weekends and when things get wild the back area can transform into a dancefloor. Otherwise social banter is the main form of entertainment. The Sentido Funf crowd is a diverse one, consisting of groovy students and professionals of all ages. The 'just turned 18' types seem to steer clear though, because Sentido Funf is an experience to be savoured.

Outdoor Area / Beer Garden
The lush beer garden is half under cover and has an Asian feel, making it a different drinking experience to the norm.
Second Opinion
Well worth the trek to have a look at, Sentido Funf will often have more action out in the back beer garden area than inside the front bar. DJs and a small dancefloor in the beer garden section liven things up, and heaters keep the cold at bay.
