On Saturday evening Suzie_Q and I went out for drinks in London to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The chosen venue was Waxy’s Little Sister on Wardour Street in Soho. This is a small bar opposite Waxy O’Connor’s (a much larger bar of the same chain in which we later tried to get a drink… but gave up due to the sheer weight of people inside). Waxy’s Little Sister isn’t particularly large, but upstairs they do at least have a comfy seating area which we invaded and occupied. I don’t remember there being any music played in the bar, conversation was easy. If anything musical should have been played I’d have recommended whale songs; the ceiling décor reminded me very much of Weymouth Sea Life Centre.

There’s only a bar on the ground floor at Waxy’s, and taking a tray of drinks upstairs via the crowded bar area and up the narrow stairwell would prove very difficult I imagine. Luckily somebody intelligent installed a small lift for drinks in the bar area – it works very much like those seen in shoe shops but in reverse. Place your drink orders downstairs and then wait upstairs for the lift to produce the required beverages. We didn’t experience a great deal of success because two drinks never materialised on one round (of many) so we had to go downstairs anyway, but the principle was interesting nonetheless.
