I had some lovely evenings at The Prickly Pear. The cocktails were fantastic and the service was professional and friendly. Ranjish and colleagues were very accommodating and made the best margs, negronis etc. I highly recommend

Came here for a few drinks during happy hour. It was nice and relaxing watching people going in and out of the hotel, the traffic did give a lot of exhaust fumes while sitting there. Anyway i would still come back, the drinks where good and i felt relaxed.
