It's about the size of a decent size garage but the decor is brilliant, the music is a mix of funky, dances, soul, hip hop and acid jazz. The friendliest bar staff I have come across in a good while. If you like somewhere a bit out of the ordinary this is for your. Even if you don't go and have a chilled time and great drinks.

Having to ask them to microwave the entire plate the moment it landed in front of us. Very odd. Very not Toby.

The bartender showed me how he makes a dry and medium martini including the different proportions. Simple, huh? What I found amazing was the quality was repeated from drink to drink. Not often are bartenders that precise (The only place I've seen that standard was in Tokyo's Imperial Hotel "Frank Lloyd Wright" lounge). In Plymouth, treat yourself to a work of art in the Refectory Bar in the form of a perfect martoonie , mixed and served in wonderful surroundings by "PhD mixologists".

Ah This pub used to known as The Old Library. Unsurprising, given that prior to its transformation…read moreinto a chamber of raucousness in the mid nineties, it was Taunton's very own hushed bibliotheque. Don't worry; we didn't burn the books; the library was relocated about 400m away and at the time I was quite happy to see a new pub to try and get served sans ID, (17!!). In its first incarnation, the pub celebrated its heritage by maintaining a quasi-literary (not semi literate) theme. Local historians pointed out that as the library building was a gift from the Carnegie foundation on condition that alcohol was not imbibed on the premises. Everyone else said let's get ratted. Now that the 'Pitcher & Piano' chain have bought it, they've seen fit to daub it the dullest colour known to man, just to make it that little bit more homogenous. No Piano either, despite plenty of space for one. OK, so actually it is going to be nicer than many 3 star pubs; there's a lovely beer garden which is perfect for watching the shoppers stroll along the quirky shops in Bath Place - but food is too bland, too pricey, too fried and there's so much more that could be done with such a lovely building. EDIT: I'm giving it a three as it's probably rammed on a saturday night, which can't be a bad thing.
