First impressions are pleasing, warm lighting and a cheery reception. As an upbeat respite from the mayhem that is Courtenay Place on a Friday night, Hummingbird succeeds beautifully. Drinks are immaculately presented with flair and finesse by engaging and considerate bar staff, and there’s plenty of room to swing a rosary in a layout that’s spacious whilst still providing plenty of private corners. As an added note, they also serve Coffee Supreme – laudable taste! With such accomplished bar staff, it’s probably fair to assume that the barista is also a master of his or her art. It’s just a pity the music has to be so loud to drown out the horrible noises from next door.
