Even before they've really arrived, everyone's sick of hearing the phrase "small bar." Tired analogies to other cities become exhausting to readers, while the hyperbole surrounding these new ventures must daunt the keen entrepreneurs (heroes?), who have thrown blood, sweat and life savings into creating original places for us to drink.
So let's see these ventures for what they are, not what they're like. Through an innocuous door, sitting just above Little Oxford Street, is Ching-a-lings. A compact, gritty interior that suits it surrounds is complemented by a cosy deck, with a polished drink menu on offer. There is no ostentation, no gimmick, no claims to being a child of the revolution. It is precisely what this city needs: an accessible, well-executed new option that's all ours.
