text: In need of a home away from home? Part of The Dogs chain, Underdogs is rather aptly situated directly under The Dogs, which is beside Amore Dogs. Whilst The Dogs and Amore Dogs are restaurants, Underdogs is a basement bar that somehow mixes comfy, commmfffyyyy sofas arranged in a living-room type arrangement with lamps and coffee tables, with a whole host of drinks, bar nibbles and food. For either a Sunday evening coffee, or a Saturday night pre-cocktail sniffter, this is now one of my favourite go-to bars.\n\nBe prepared to sit down and go \"ohhhhh!\" at how comfy the sofas are. Then \"hmmm\" over the pretty wide range of drinks on offer, and then just wait in a comfy stupour whilst the waitress comes to take your order. It's table service, and pretty efficient. \n\nThe ambience is wonderful. Low-lighting, cosy, homely yet still somehow sophisticated. Although, as I've discovered, it's hard to look sophisticated in a shortish skirt whilst fighting the urge to lounge, limbs akimbo, in an arm chair with JD in hand.\n\nI came here on a Saturday night for the first few drinks of the eve and it really started the night off well. Friendly staff, wonderful ambience, really central, and a nice crowd. And if you dine upstairs, all the better to head down here after.\n\nVerdict: Underdogs is the dogs danglies.
