This is my parents' favorite bar. I was very impressed when they took me. Despite the name it is not a themed bar. I thought it might be, as Batman and Robin hail from a fictional Gotham City. It is lively but without being crowded. Seating is spread out over several areas and it is quite spacious. They have an extensive cocktails list, the reason for it attracting my parents. My parents swear by 'Brandy Alexanders'. This is STRONG stuff. WARNING - don't try this if you're already loaded with alcohol. Believe me, I have seen a few people suffer badly from this concoction. Ideally, you need to be a fairly hardened drinker. If you're into whisky, look out for a cocktail called 'Mile High'. The cocktails are not cheap, but can be included as part of a budget night out if your careful not to overdo it (for the sake of your body, don't overdo it!) or for a special occasion. Standard drinks are around the going price everywhere, but look out - they ALWAYS have special offers. These change from time to time. Look out for the posters above the bar. Otherwise the usual lager would be the cheapest drink. It is a relaxed informal bar where you can go to chat with friends. It is opposite Central Station, where the nearest Metro is.
