It's true, this is part of a chain and so it's not exactly oozing character by the bucketload. But there's one thing that sticks out in my memory about the time I came here for lunch...\n\nWhen I first came here to go to uni 4 years ago, anyone and everyone shared all their little pearls of wisdom with me. All except for the one that says, \"don't go out on the lash the night before your parents are coming up and you have to spend the day with them\". This, I learned the hard way when my Dad was speaking at some meeting at the nearby International Conference Centre, and whilst he was doing that my hangover and I went for lunch with my mum.\n\nWalking into this branch of All Bar One and clocking all the bottles and beer taps behind the bar was the last thing I needed, and my hangover suddenly got ten times worse. Anyway, to get back to my review, although the place was soul-less and totally overpriced, the waiter was an absolute lifesaver in the way that he kept bringing me pint after pint of iced water. For that reason alone, I will give this place three stars. Although I was too busy concentrating on trying to make the room stop spinning to notice whether or not it was the winking waiter mentioned by Stuart, I can safely guess on the basis of how rough I was looking that it wasn't!
