his Kensington has a lively crowd of good-looking 20-somethings, in a rather bland setting. If you go in expecting no more than that, you'll leave satisfied. But for the rest of us, there must be a catch to this place.

The bar is equipped with high tables by the one bar, a vintage themed lounge area in red, an elevated stage, a dance floor, and yes, even a disco ball! A very standard bar/lounge set-up, nothing too original, yet average enough so that anyone can migrate through comfortably without getting lost.

The drinks are cheap - could that be the catch? Although the bar selection is minimal, so perhaps not. After my orders of Bailey’s, Amaretto Sour, and Liquid Cocaine shots got turned down by the witty bar tender, I settled for beer to avoid further rejection. But hey, who doesn’t like beer? (At least they had imported… I’ll give Neutral points for that)

Or could the catch be the entertainment? Neutral hails itself as an alt rock bar, a place where young talents perform on stage. The bar hosts anything from live bands, new rock, classic alternative, dance and reggae DJ’s, to film and poetry sessions. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different scene attracting a following of a diverse College street crowd.
