I have been a hotel lounge afeciando for a long time, and this lounge in the Queen Elizabeth is a great day diversion for anyone - who as on occasion needs a great drink in the afternoon - we've all been there good times and bad. However the after work scene seems distant stuffy and frankly old, without the school. Kinda crap that they are so accustomed to credit cards/expense accounts that if you do chose to pay via debit - you have to get up and nearly go behind the bar. But like I say if you are over 50 you may very much enjoy the lack of cacophony, but even a great Martini can be a little too dry. Nice escape on a dreary afternoon, though. PS like all good hotel lounges, snacks are complimentary and the drinks are served perfectly.
