Cocktails are great (try the Akane) but the food is the star. Affordable bar bites with real finesse. Have the hot dog, the tuna cigar, the ocean trout sashimi & the lobster roll. Service can be slow.
Check out Gaunt's clock, which is flanked by two giant statues of the mythical figures of Gog and Magog. Since 1892, the two mammoth statues have struck chimes at every hour. Read more.

A great range of interesting books/CDs/records/zines/mags/gifts etc, cosy seats, art gallery upstairs and a tolerable sound track. Sucks time out of your schedule so beware.
