People hate change generally but the redsign and launch of Kitchen22 from Alva is the reason why people hate change. From being a great neighbourhood bar to, frankly, a hellhole. A long time regular I have had enough of being loyal to this place and although Richie makes the best Martini around, it's time to move on and find somewhere where it's not just about shifting units.
If I could buy the place and convert it back I would and get rid of all the 1 glass of wine an hour amateurs and old crusties looking for a cheap feed. The much vaunted menu is average at best too.
Alva farewell, Kitchen 22 goodbye.
Pros: ace barman
Cons: very smokey, very cramped, rude hostess
