"Now this is what you call a bar. Tucked away at the wrong end of Gertrude Street, the astonishing granite-and-timber edifice that's the centrepiece of Gertrudes is worth the trip in itself. Lean on it when you order a bevvie, sit at it to snack on some tapas, or lounge back in one of the booths and simply admire it. The relaxed, no-fuss atmosphere belies the professionalism
with which this cool little bar is run. In the evenings the food and drink is complemented by a nice mix of DJs, live music and film."
