Loco Loco

I am not normally prone to frequent bars that reside in train stations, especially if the station in question is in the city in which I reside - but for the new bar at Southern Cross Station (the old Spencer Street Station in Melbourne) I have made a worthwhile exception. I should admit before I go any further that I do have a professional involvement with the station and also that J was the genious behind the name Loco Bar (we are still waiting for the engraved bar stool...). But all that aside, this place looks smart. We went there last Friday afternoon for a drink and the place looked really slick. Drinks are pretty standard city prices, the staff are getting there, the nibbles were good and reasonably priced. Loco Bar is a great vantage point for people watching, or for admiring the architectural wonder that is the new station building.
