Possibly the most futuristic watering-hole in the city. Gleaming chrome and glass are the main features of this superbly designed (although some have said over-designed) multi-million pound bar. Ultra-modern and very shiny, with bar and restaurant on different levels, Bar Pacific was built from scratch in 1997. Cocktails are on offer as well as the usual range of beers and spirits, and the cafe serves excellent food, although is perhaps a little pricey. The service is with a twist as each table features a pager, which you can use to summon someone to serve you! As you would expect it gets busy at the weekends so prepare to queue, but once inside keep an eye out for the many local celebrities who can be spotted hanging out there.

Not very good
Terrible time here. Food was awful service was worse and the staff didn't have a brain cell between them never mind a personality. I had to send the food back to check what it was then told 'chef was in a bad mood', there was no offer of recompence or sorry. We were fogotten while staff were on a break and when we complained no-one knew what to do. The children were offered Fruit Shoots which everyone knows are bad for them, when we refused one was brought over anyway. We had a main meals and were in for 2 hours!
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No
Why? / Why Not?
Our whole experience has put us off this place and no-one should have to go through what we did. The staff need to be either sacked or trained in waiter services. Saying '2 minutes' to clientele doesn't explain there are no seats/waiting for seats etc.
