Salsa, WC2

Awful place. No style, no real reason for its existence. And no ale.

Large, split-level hall with an elongated counter along one side and another smaller one on the raised area with windows overlooking the Thames. Fairly sparsely furnished, so not that much seating anyway for a place of its size (and even less with almost all the tables reserved when I visited). From the street, it also appears to have at least one other room off to one side (for private hire, presumably). As a sports bar, the numerous TV screens and some national flags are the main decorative features. No real ale of course, and some of the keg lines were closed for cleaning too, so went for the bottled Victoria Bitter (£2.50, annoyingly served - as everything else after 18:00 - in a polycarbonate 'glass').
