Last weekend, I popped into Blakes Hotel’s bar to use my Champagne For Life card.
I’d never been to Blakes before and I loved what I’d discovered:
The intimate bar, which sits in the hotel’s basement and adjoins the restaurant is tastefully stylish. The design is Chinese influenced.
We were there on a Sunday afternoon, so it was pretty quiet. But apparently, on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night (especially), the whole place is rocking.
That afternoon I had a couple of glasses of champagne:
But I hear Blakes also make a delish Chinese Mojito. This is just one reason to return. The end of week party vibe as well as the restaurant are a couple more!
*UPDATE: Since receiving a Champagne For Life card as a gift from the brand, I have had a couple of problems with bars accepting my card and I have also had to explain what the card is to venues who are on Champagne For Life’s list. Before signing up for the membership, it may be worth hanging out with someone who already has one to see how it works and to see if it is for you.*
