I like Container Bar. And like all things I like, I five star it. A natural reaction caused by Container Bar's cool and simple concept. It's great that Container's showed up in an area that seems to be loosing most of it's cool and interesting businesses to development.
I managed to meet my friend Steph here on a day where the Folk Fest distracted the crowds that often hovered, making it a long wait to get into CB.
I sat down and ordered a gin cocktail and waited for my friend. It was a fortunate hot summer day and a community piano was situation just outside. Did I happen to have the most awesome half hour of reading, drinking, and listening to random stranger share their classical piano talents with the streets of Kensington? Yes I did! *self high five*.
Their staff was lovely and friendly. They really were because I was a fussy guy. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to sit under the sun or wanted a table, so I kept moving around a lot. They were accommodating in taking my orders and repeatedly drawing the blinds.
Their food was great. I had the brisket burger with salad. Simple food well executed. Brisket burger was rich and juicy and the salad was fresh and tasty.
Their price is about average from the usual fancy diner visit.
