Bridges

Slip into the fashionable swivel chairs or perch glamorously on the bar's high stools and choose from the fabulous array of cocktails (many with historical explanations in the menu). The suggestion of Art Deco, the quiet piano music, and the discreet service all work to create a comfortable, orderly space for civilised conversation. The generous cheese and fruit plate or mixed Arabic grill from nearby Fairmont restaurants sustain a hungry drinker, and the 5o% saving on alcoholic beverages between 16:3o and 19:3o will excite the frugal.
