Match Bar & Grill



Pour your own vino as you please and then pay for it using a special swipe card. That's novelty.

Match is either really cool, or not at all. It depends on your outlook. This place is part of a chain which has sister venues in London and Ibiza. It's a bar-slash-restaurant with designer interiors, Wi-Fi, cushy booths, wooden deck and an automated wine system where you can pour your own tipples and pay via a swipe card that's charged up.

If it was a person, Match would probably be that girl at school that was hot, sporty, brainy, popular and the teacher's pet. You know the one - the perfect all-rounder. Did you like her or hate her? It's a matter of opinion.

My friends and I peruse the drinks list. It features a photo of a big, exhausted dog lolling on a couch with its tongue hanging out. Is it a warning?

We order the Match Spring Punch (lemon juice, raspberries, cassis and Framboise with sparkling wine). They're seriously good. Next, we try the Tropical Royale (Havana Club Especial rum with fresh pineapple and lime juice, topped with sparkling wine). They're even better. I grab the menu again and find myself intrigued by the Champagne Smash (Champagne punch with vodka). Hmmm, it sounds deadly. But then again, research is very important. I take another look at the dog and know my fate is sealed as I signal the bartender.
