Tongue and Groove the new sensation?

Didn’t know that mural was hand painted, so no more impressed. 🙂

Sorry, that is meant to read “…, so NOW more impressed”. Sounds a bit harsh otherwise. 🙂

Stopped in for a drink one Tuesday night with some mates. Enjoyed the lime and chili martini which was only 13.50 (most places in canberra do martinis starting at 14 – I thought). Found it odd how you can get table service for drinks if you sit at the tables, but not if you’re on the comfy seats etc. Not sure how that works out when it’s chokers on the Friday nights etc.

Liked the decor, reminded me of Kremlin Bar. Didn’t know that mural was hand painted, so no more impressed. 🙂 I also really liked the lighting above the bar – so much so I took a photo.

Haven’t eaten there, but would be interested to give it a go just to know.

Rubbish place full of rubbish people.

Just another yuppie spot that will be gone in a few years. No character or class. Good place for pubes who think they’re hip to hang out.

was there a few fridays ago, was very nice.
even nice enough to attract the likes of gary humphries who was there at the same time!

I tagged along with some workmates there for lunch one day, and they took one look at the prices on the menu and high-tailed it out of there.

Popped in on Friday night for a pint – seemed more like an exercise in attempting a Guinness book of records entry. How many people can you fit in a concrete box?. Left 5 minutes later with no drink.

Shockingly bad name btw – really a technical term for joining wood together….hmmmm

“the hammer & nail in the coffin”

There was mention of this place in the comments from Megajames in the Valentines Day Rip Off story:

Tongue & Groove – rude staff, very slow bar service, what’s with the take a number and come back in 15 minutes for your cocktail!?!?

Checkout the Mural on the back wall…hand painted by a very talented local and now rich artist..
