Bar #16 - Tonic

Next on the agenda was Tonic. This bar seems like it's trying for sleek and modern, but it turns out a lot more wanna-be than that. Stark grey walls, bare concrete floors and a bad mural on the back wall provide all the ambiance of the space. For some reason, they put bowls of gummi bears out on all the tables. I don't personally think that sticky, chewy, sweets go very well with alcohol, but I guess if you run a bar with no character at all, you have to do something to make yourself memorable. The drinks were ok, but overall, a totally forgettable experience.

Mary called while we were here and said that she and her brother Mike were going meet up with us, so we ordered a second round of drinks while waiting and overstayed the place. After our second round, we called Mary back and gave her the heads up that we moving on.
