Vaulting to the Post Office Vaults

There’s a staircase that just drops right into the ground. It’s the ultimate test of whether you’re sober enough to be served, and if you hit the floor then you’re out. But if you enter via the rear, you only have to walk down a slope and through the door and the bar’s right in front of you. Seating can be sparse, and three solo people sitting on each table is enough to fill the bar up and you’ve got to wander how the staff can cope when there’s a rush on. There’s also a traditional bar billiards table that takes up a bit of space. But it’s a bar which is handy to pop into if you’ve just missed your train and you’ve got a little bit of breathing space before the next one. Just beware that you might be tempted to miss the next one too as you’re usually guaranteed to bump into someone that you know on your way out.
