It's a sorry state of affairs when the best thing a bar has going for it is an 80s night. Come on, hasn't the novelty of dancing to "I Think We're Alone Now" followed by "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" followed by "Billie Jean" worn off? Ok, keep "Billie Jean" then.

It's a long time since I last went to Alfa, but I feel they need some new ideas. Nobody seems to talk about the place. It's got a decent location and always used to be busy, I think they've just lacked direction and run out of ideas while other bars took things forward. The front lounge bit is cool, nice place to sit, and some idiot always goes for a swim, which is a good laugh. Service was always rubbish though - painfully slow if you try to order from the booths, and the staff just seem like they can't be bothered. Wake up, Alfa.
