Portello Lounge, Nottingham

Now the Portello Lounge. Part of the loungers chain.

This place is now called Mud Crab - see photo.

Felicini is yet another new bar to open in West Bridgefords upmarket shopping area. Once inside there is one large room that is shaped like an oblong box,the bar is situated in the middle of the room,there were tall tables and chairs to the front right and leather bench seating in bays towards the rear,there were also some normal bench seats. The floor was tiled and most tables were laid out for diners,but there were more drinkers than diners on my visit. There were three lagers on the bar all from those horrible silver fonts,i had a drink of Amstel which was'nt that bad a drink,the other lagers were Moretti and Sangres. I asked for my drink at the bar but was asked to take a table,i then had to wait about 5 minutes for my drink to arrive and another couple of minutes for my change which was quite annoying. There is an outside seating area which was packed on a nice sunny day. This place appeals to Bridgfords bright young people and yummy mummys. This is not really my sort of place to go to.
