Well I never thought I'd do it - but I have been to Rascals (the new Rascals Lounge) and I have to say it's very nice.

Thankfully it now boasts a new clientele after its change of ownership and I am certain it's going to be a success. Already a load of forum members are frequenting it and a lot more will be doing so over the coming months.

If you haven't been yet - put it on your list of bars to visit. However, be warned. If you place it at the top of your list you just might not get to see any of the others.

Have to say that like Micheal, we vistited Rascals for the first time since Racheal and Sergio took over, what a nice place. Although fortunately for us we wern´t in the night before when apparently it was full of a rather large noisy crowd playing ´woolf´/gambrinus, thunderbolt etc!!!!

good luck to you both

Tricky

No idea what you are on about Tricky. Us, loud???

Hi Tricky, Rachel told me you had been in and introduced yourself. Pity I missed you. was hoping to come out next week but I've got some teaching hours to do........hope to see you all soon. x x

Hya,

I have also been to Rascals during my stay between 20th April - 04th May and it is amazing. Rachel and Sergio are great and give you such a warm welcome. Great Bar, Great Food, Amazing Owners. You have to pay a visit 100%, you really dont know what your missing.

April, have Rachel and Sergio considered responsoring their own board? I am willing to moderate on it . . . with Steen's and their permission.
