A very modern style downstairs bar venue, with music in the evenings and a pool table to keep you entertained. I popped along to see the Departure Bar early on a Thursday evening, located on the East side of the City close to the Minories and Aldgate. The decor is red, red and yep you guessed it red (with a little brown) it was already starting to fill with early bird drinkers since prices are held £2 for there 6-8pm happy hour. Service was reasonable although a little slow for that time of evening. On tap are Fosters, Bud, Stella and Guinness you can get bottled Bishops Finger and they do have a draught house beer Departure, but I don't have that, maybe next time.
