Decorated like a house of mirrors interspersed with loud patterned wall-paper and trendy bar-staff, Henricks makes a hearty effort to be a sleek, cool bar – but is left somewhere on the cusp. Not that the loyal, ale-sipping locals seem to mind, or notice, most attention being paid to the television screens and smoking terrace.
 
Behind the bar is a varied glossy cabinet of spirits and those on a budget can enjoy sharing a bottle of house wine for only £8. Food is also available; don’t expect gourmet cuisine, but if standard, cheap pub grub is what you want, Henricks delivers.
 
Just a stroll away from the King’s Theatre, this is a pleasant, relaxed location for pre-theatre drinks. In itself, though, no show-stopper.
