| - Working outside of the core, I have to admit I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to new, happening places. So, when it came time to find somewhere for drinks, I relied on social media to guide me in the right direction. Was I ever surprised at what I found!
Stylishly decorated with a 60's influence, there are two levels in this lounge. On the first level, seating and tables are tucked behind walls and shelves, creating a sense of intimacy despite being small and fully visible from the front windows. Sprinkled throughout are cleverly placed, hype phrases designed for the tech-fluenced millennial set (myself included) to photograph and tag. Downstairs, the intimate and 60's lounge feel persists with the addition of an exposed brick wall. Bench style seating extends down the perimeter of the space with tables and standalone chairs. Space is designed so that small and large groups can congregate in the same area with a good amount of mobility. In my opinion, the best part is the noise level of the music. On all occasions that I've been, it is upbeat enough to generate good energy, but quiet enough so that you can have a decent conversation. Service has also been friendly and prompt and drinks are good. I can't speak to the food since we've never eaten but, atmosphere and drinks alone is five stars for me. One thing noticeably lacking from TWR is the typical douche-bag set (which is probably what has made the whole experience more enjoyable). Whether they're at surrounding bars, more ostentatious lounges or just simply haven't discovered TWR, I'm happy they're not there!
To note, I've only been here on Friday evenings for drinks only. I can't speak to other days of the week and for food but, will most likely try it out again based on the good experience so far.
