Moda
Not a bad option for a night out - but there weren't all that many options in the first place
| 10 Feb 2007
Moda is a popular pre-club destination for many queens before a night on the tiles, housed as it is in the same complex as the Polo Lounge. With a vaguely pseudo-Scandinavian feel to the decor, and serving all manner of chi-chi cocktails, it's certainly not the worst choice you could make on a big night out. With a roaring fire and minimalist furniture, and a soundtrack of pop and r'n'b, Moda has a cosy but fun atmosphere. In terms of style bars though, there's not all that much in the way of distinctive style to set it apart, aside from being the only one to cater specifically to the LGBT market. The midweek prices are generous, but all in all the place, much like the soundtrack and punters, is just far too generic to truly distinguish it from the competition. Had it not been adjoining the Polo Lounge for a decade, it's doubtful that it would have lasted too long on its own. Moda is not a bad option for a night out - but there weren't all that many options in the first place.
