Geisha's sleek Japanese theme has you expecting sushi to come rolling out across the bar. Instead there is a selection of heftily priced cocktails and exotic sounding lager bottles. Modesty seems to have prevented the establishment putting the toilets at ground level and they are prudishly tucked away downstairs, meaning a short trip around the small dark dance floor.

Most of the bar’s décor is fairly straightforward: Black. But the smallest room’s stark white interior stands out from this, blinding you on entry. It is a little bit what I imagine heaven to be like when you first arrive, but probably without urinals and more hopeful anticipation of an eternal afterlife. That said, even St Peter needs to take a leak from time to time. | "I'm looking for a female to review Nottinghamshire's ladies loos.

At one end of the room, on the mirror, the floral pattern motif creeping in from the rest of the bar looks like an exploded paint pot. If you face one way you feel like you're in a hospital, look another and it's a Rupert the Bear Annual. Although clinical, there is nothing disheartening about this white, crisp surround. In fact it is quite enlightening and alarmingly one is tempted to stay for longer than a person really should, just gazing at the sharp, angled hand-basins.

Stare for long enough and you might expect a doctor to appear and start cleaning medical instruments. Or maybe it bears closer resemblance to an austere ablution chamber high in the mountains for people on meditative retreats. Either way, the entire room is awash with cleanliness and well observed Japanese chic. This is just the place for Nottingham’s finest, those who go out to be seen, to wash their dainty fingers. If you have ever felt the need to go Eastern in the East Midlands, here is your chance. |
