Vito Lounge, Fareham

A large, wannabe lounge café bar style establishment, which seems a bit out of place here in Fareham. Spread over 2 floors joined by an open staircase, it feels modern, cavernous and not terribly cosy. The wooden floor appeared to be recycled from a school gymnasium, though I’ve seen this style before recently so wonder if this is a trend. The furniture is a mixture of tables and chairs, plus a few armchairs and sofas, and there is a cupboard with board games and a book swap. The clientele are a mixed bunch, lots of young mothers complete with prams and babies, some middle-aged men looking a bit lost in 1980s clothing, a few nervous hen-night revellers, some lads out for a fatburger and a few lagers. The evening fare looked unappealing, mostly lard and empty calories, and there was a multinational breakfast available at the appropriate time, though this was more expensive and less inspiring than most greasy spoon cafes. No real ale, and only one craft offering, Punk IPA, which was predictably over-priced and bland. Not my preferred destination.
