Claustrophobics will find a little relief at the far end of the lane. Sphinx offers a good selection of well-prepared Thai and western dishes in a (relatively) quiet, lush atmosphere with a little more elbow room than most venues in the area. Outside and up the stairs is Pharaohﾒs Music Bar, with state-of-the-art karaoke for those who are tired of listening to Abba sing their own songs. They also employ professional acts, when you get tired of listening to yourself.
