It was the old Medicine Bar, now the new Bar 78; the venue has been transformed into a bar and grill. Now when the place first opened, I wasn't overly keen to go and check it out because I just thought....'oh another bar' which it kind of is, but in some senses it's the new bar and grill place for Custard Factory residents and other clientele.
I've experienced it now, after my business partner said we should give it a try one sunny afternoon. As soon as we walked in the first thing we both said was: 'why is this place so empty for saying it's such a nice day?'
In our heads there should have been more people in there. When you walk in, you start to realise just how nicely fitted it is-they've done a good job with the interiors.
Apart from the interiors, my favourite thing about Bar 78 is the food. I like the food and I think they offer good meal deals for a reasonable price which is why I would recommend this place.
Me and my business partner had the spicy chicken pizza and drink and we spent £5 each that was all. When the pizza came out it was massive. We actually couldn't believe our eyes. Every time I've been in there, I've had to ask them to wrap up my left over's because I just couldn't finish the portions.
However, what I'm not sure about is what it's like at night because I've never been there on a night out. Also I've never heard people talking about it which slightly concerns me. read more
