The New York Bar (Rubens at the Palace), SW1

A bar in a very posh hotel, well it can't be that posh, they let me in, but they do have a doorman who opened the door for me. Anyway, it has a small bar area which gets very busy with orders for drinks from the restaurant waitresses. The walls are adorned with military memorabillia. Doesn't sell real ale or Guinness, but a half pint of Murpheys costs £2.00. my rating is for the style of the place rather than the range of drinks sold.
