Harry's Bar
32 - 34 Marine parade

       
Opened in 1983 as Devine's Wine Bar.

My recollection of Harry's Bar is very vague, going back some 20 years or so. I seem to recall what was basically an underground long room with mirrors along one wall making it seem larger than it really was.

The lighting was always dim, probably for a reason. The clientele were I recall, made up of people who didn't seem to fit in anywhere else. I do remember being greeted by a sort of door man in leather jeans with a matching waistcoat, bare-chested of course, probably had a medallion too.

I am surprised to find that it is still going.  I will assume there have been a few changes since my last visit.

I do wonder if the underground structure is a remnant of the old Royal Sea House Hotel  with the above arcade simply built on top.
