XO Café Lounge

Had a great evening. Good selection of drinks and really attentive service. Entertainment was great (singer) lovely atmosphere.

New place in town looks very upmarket and great to relax. Tried many cocktails on the list as recommended by owners who are very friendly and can say I somehow managed to walk out. Also serves lovely nibbles to share when with a group. Even for a quick coffee in the morning before grabbing the train even better for after work a quick tipple before the walk home.

Smart cafe, wine and cocktail bar. It's easy to walk past and dismiss this, being not very obvious what it is from the darkly smoked glass and silver XO sign above the door. Inside is a small, clean, contemporary cafe and bar run by a young couple. Mostly Cafe during the day and mostly bar by night. Quality of several drinks are excellent. Black Russian and strawberry daiquiri expertly made. The proprietors take care in the drinks they serve. It could benefit from some higher class spirits though, kraken being the best rum for example. Could benefit from just one good rum, whiskey and cognac to choose from. Can be quite quiet in the evenings.
