Nu Lounge Bar isn't like your typical "speak easy" tiki bar, it's much more of an open bar with big windows and brighter lighting. That's not meant to be a negative so don't read into it wrong, it works for this bar and area. The drinks are fantastic, the service was attentive. And as a tiki mug collector they had a great selection of mugs to buy.

The inside is really cute but the obvious option is to sit outside in the bustling seating area. We sat on the steps across from the bar and had a lovely pre-dinner drink.

The bar isn't cool of course because of the deaf-mute staff, but for the opportunity it gives people with disabilities to have a go at a job in an area where otherwise they would be likely to be discriminated.

Not much of a service as it's buy at the counter however the bartender was one of the friendliest of people around. He was always smiling and had some great suggestions. When you know you are in a small space which has seen the likes of Muhammad Ali and Anthony Bourdain and many other celebrities, you surely feel you are at the correct spot. Buy food as a takeaway and bring it here. You only need to buy drinks, much cheaper than the same restaurants around. Save yourself and do not sit down at any of those tourist traps. You'll thank yourself (and maybe me if you did it after reading this).

It seems exclusively at this point to service food tours, which they seem to do well. We walked to the back by many other tables reserved for other groups. It's somewhat divey, which I think they lean into. The wines were pretty good and curated well for the tour. You're allowed to bring your own food, which is seemingly the thing to do. Would I venture here outside the tour? Probably not. But definitely serves the purpose for the tours.

We came every night during our four night stay, and it was always a great atmosphere inside and out. The downstairs bar has a great beer selection. If you look behind the bar, they have shelves with all the bottles, labeled by style. We tried a few new barrel aged stouts we had never come across, some of which were solid 10/10 beers. The food puts them over the top. The cheddar burger is a tasty burger, but the fries. Oh these fries. They are so crispy, so salty, and almost pinched in the middle so they have a little curl. They are so delicious, a real treat to end a long day's wanderin'. Bonus points because all the staff we interacted with was lovely every time we visited.

I loved how they had a bunch of different toast flavors spread amongst all the meats and cheeses, as well as fresh fruit. The chicken spread on toast was by far my favorite, and the mortadella was outstanding too. One of my new favorite cured meats! I'm not a huge cheese person but my friends like it. The plain bread on the side was also really good. Overall great experience!

This very handsome man from Madrid said that they did not open for an hour. So we walked on. Did I say we were hungry? We were further up the street when the Spaniard came running up to us and said that the cook arrived early and if we wanted to come back he would make our meals. Well, this by itself earns this restaurant 5 stars! The Pasta Bolognais was fantastic. The decor was wonderful. This charming server was friendly, and empathetic to our hunger pains. I highly recommend this restaurant!! In fact all four of us do!
