Bar Corvina provides just the right feeling for a drink at most times of the day. It's a pleasant room to sit in, lighting, music and the bar have good vibes. A regular mix of tables and bench seating with timber cladding and a well-placed screen. The bar is located near the front to keep the activity level up from the street during quiet times. On the street on a warm night out the front is a great place, just out of the way enough to enjoy the view of the park and the good food and bar snacks to complement a reasonable list of wines (and a number by the glass). Nothing ground breaking but a great feel. Bar Corvina, as the French say "fits well in its skin".
