点评:Arcane is almost my perfect bar. The lighting and mood hit exactly right for me. Calm, intimate, not too busy, not noisy, with decor that feels considered rather than trying too hard. It’s the kind of place I want to sit for hours. The cocktails were excellent. Properly balanced, interesting, and clearly made by people who know what they’re doing.
What let it down was basic hygiene. The toilets had no hand soap and no paper towels. We told the hostess, who thanked us. Nothing changed. A few drinks later we told another member of staff, again acknowledged, again no action. After waiting and checking again, still nothing, we decided to leave out of frustration and said why.
The response was defensive. We were told there was an issue with the supplier. That isn’t an acceptable explanation. Not having soap means people can’t wash their hands. You don’t wait days for a delivery. You go to a shop and fix it immediately.
This should be my forever favourite bar, and it probably would be if the basics were handled properly. Amazing atmosphere and drinks, but hygiene isn’t optional.
翻译:Arcane 几乎是我心目中的完美酒吧。灯光和氛围都恰到好处。安静、私密、不拥挤、不嘈杂,装饰也恰到好处,毫不矫揉造作。我恨不得在这里待上几个小时。鸡尾酒也棒极了,口感平衡,风味独特,显然出自行家之手。
美中不足的是基本的卫生状况。洗手间没有洗手液和纸巾。我们告诉了女招待,她道了谢,但情况没有任何改善。几杯酒下肚后,我们又告诉了另一位员工,对方再次表示理解,但依然没有采取任何行动。我们等了一会儿,又去询问,仍然没有解决,最终因为失望而离开,并说明了原因。
对方的回应很敷衍,说是供应商那边出了问题。这根本无法接受。没有洗手液就意味着人们无法洗手。你总不能等上好几天才收到货吧?去商店马上解决不就行了?
如果连这些基本问题都能解决,Arcane 本来应该是我永远最爱的酒吧。氛围和饮品都很棒,但卫生状况不容忽视。
