new bar 'BOHO' serving sushi

[Otto]

had a drink last night. reasonably fine place - nice staff. if you are tall, stay upstairs. i am unsure about the fashion video. but it seemed to attract a girl crowd. even with that, there must be something better to show...

an improvement over the tivoli.

[dullwitch]

Has anyone tried the sushi yet?

[Annasfield]

I saw a few crab sticks and jellied eels on the bar when I was in there. Didn't really fancy it.

[Muley]

Does this mean Manzes' pie & mash in Peckham will have to up their game and start serving cocktails?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Don't be silly, Muley - they already serve fine liquor.

[Muley]

Ha ha, good one PGC. You've left me shaken (but not stirred!)

Commonly known as the 'Nunhead Nigiri' I believe.

Upstairs downstairs! Upstairs is vile, too bright, yuk... Downstairs so much better, enjoyable, well lit

THIS.

The only thing I'd add to it is PROTIP: Get fresh fish. And I'm not talking 3 day old fish that's been sat on a fishmarket, I'm talking so fresh that you can still taste the saltwater. Zushi isn't as complicated as you'd think, the SUPER SECRET METHOD is to ensure that you don't overcook the rice, that can be the dealbreaker between a dish that is OM NOM NOM to a dish that is MEH. Get some nice rice wine vinegar and you're pretty much set to go.

Zushi is better than Sashimi IMO, because you can cook whatever fish you're using without offending the Japanese Gods. If you're dead set on eating raw and you're all about Sashimi, I'd say go Hotate-gai, it's like eating fishy steak.

^ ^That reads like a copypasta from the 4chan recipe book.

[Starmix]

It's OC bro.

[shurrrp]

the sushi will taste like a chinease man has thrown up in my mouth after he ate some fish

[orlakeilyhandbag]

Went to Boho Bar earlier this evening and had the Sushi, it was fantastically fresh and really good. The staff were really friendly. Really enjoyable experience ( and no, I don't work there etc, etc...) This is a genuine recommendation.

[char1ie]

I thought Boho bar was crap when I went for a couple of drinks recently. No door policy, random punters, pointless screen, not good. Shame because if it was more discerning as to who it let in, and a few details were adjusted I'm sure it could be a fine little place.

"more discerning as to who it let in"?

::o

[Jah Lush]

Popped in for 20 minutes or so early last Friday evening and had what was supposed to be a Mai Tai. Dreadful. Absolutely nothing like one and it came in the smallest glass imaginable. It's supposed to have three different rums in for feck's sake. Half empty and a dull ambience. Must try much much harder.

So who had it let in (apart from you of course) and why do you think they didn't deserve to be there?

Who do you think should be let in, and why?

:-S

[Asset]

People like Charl!e obviously!!!!

[????]

I know I am sounding increasingly grumpy on this but we have an almost globally unique institution with many architecual gems etc etc...and yet anyone under 35 seems to want to drink in expensive, poky, plastic ex-shoe shops??? Beats me

This is exactly what I was wondering. I have absolutely zero interest in drinking in a bar with a "discerning door policy". In fact if you're so picky about who you drink with, why bother leaving the house at all?

They let me in with my depressed divoercee friend (bad choice), they let in a group of 6 pissed up large argumentative geezers (bad choice), they let in some very bored looking old men (bad choice) and the 12 or so trendy good looking young girls and boys that wandered in wandered straight out again because of the low quality punters that were in there.

So basically they let everybody in.

So you think they should only let in "high quality punters", which by your definition appear to be:

Trendy

Good looking

Young

??????

Have I understood you correctly?

Do you think they should have some kind of "good looks detector" on the door, and maybe ask everybody for proof of age in case they're over - what? 25???

Oh, and vet their clothes in case they've strayed off trend?

FFS :-S

For a while I was thinking that char1ie was charliecharlie and couldn't understand why a nice person like her was being so fascistic re bar punters... then I re-read the name... aah

[Mick Mac]

Yep Sean - there's only one Charliecharlie .....oops
