"All bars part of glassy new build developments are questionable by virtue of looking like a shiny Be At One you’d find at Terminal 5. But, at Buster Mantis, you’ll find a low-key spot under the arches that suits group gatherings that grow as the night goes on. The moodily lit cocktail bar has a Jamaican influence that appears in its food as well as its drinks. Wray & Nephew features heavily, particularly in homemade punch, and their bites are all pleasant enough. It’s a cocktail with a side of salt fish fritters kind of place. Or just come at around 10pm on the weekend, when tables are cleared, a DJ takes the decks, and cans of Red Stripe hiss as they’re cracked open around the room." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager
