this review will be short and sweet (rather like the cocktail i had) as i was only in the huxley briefly for a pre-dinner drink.  my first reaction on walking in the door was a bit of astonishment as the place is completely different from the rutland bar that previously inhabited the location.  and completely different in a very excellent way!  gone are all the tall dark chairs and dark colours that made the bar well very dark.  instead there are softer colours with smaller normal sized chairs and a brightly white tiled war with the taps behind the bar.  there are also so cosy arm chairs but again remaining a normal size not the monster size ones that the rutland had.\n\nthe drinks menu is rather short, but i don't think this place is aiming to be an extensive cocktail bar as they have a fairly large selections of beers.  so much more a place to have a beer, which suits the menu of burgers and hot dogs.  however, the cocktail list does have a good choice and i went for the breakfast mojito while the boyfriend went for the full moon.\n\nour drinks took a wee bit of time to arrive, but i watched the bartender making them fresh so it's nice to know that they take care when mixing up drinks and the taste shows their effort is worth it.  my mojito was a lovely twist on the original.  made with grapefruit juice limes and mint it was very fresh tasting.  i could actually see how this might compliment a breakfast haha!  my boyfriend's drink was quite nice as well the blue moon beer added a nice creamy touch while the bourbon gave it a good kick.\n\nso first impressions are good and we've both decided we need to go back and try some of the food.  so look out for an update once i've sampled more of the menu :)
