There is something about the Gypsy Tea Room that makes me appreciate how much thought has gone into it.
If I had to sum up this rightly lauded bar in one word it would be "thoughtful". Everything has been well-thought-out and there is a sense that real care is put into the bar.
From the decor to the staff, the GTR manages to be both humble neighbourhood bar and a class place to take someone special.
It looks lovely, but the real beauty is its drinks selection.
