The bartender wasn't particularly welcoming, when I asked if I could sit at the bar, he pushed the reservation sign at the seat I was pointing at towards me from what I remember... point taken that yes there was a reservation sign but I just wanted to check since I wasn't sure... perhaps I was perceived as rude since I asked in English, or coz I wasn't local and didn't know, or may be that's in keeping with the vibe of the bar, no idea. Obviously can't comment on the drinks, but yep, there was no effort made to accommodate me, though I also didn't ask. Oh well, too bad.

The loft is a perfect space for having drinks with a group of friends! The bartender was really friendly and helpful. They only had a few beer taps but had a good selection of bottles, as well as liquor, for very reasonable prices. The only downside about f.u.c. is that it is close to my flat so I will be tempted to go for a drink far too often. :)

I really like the atmosphere and its a good place to bring a larger group of friends. Its quite easy to have conversations here, unlike most other rock bars, where the music is cranked to level 11. A plus is that they also have food so if you have a midnight craving, you dont have to stumble to the nearest kebab. You can grab some pub grub right there!
