Go up the spiral staircase. I think purely in terms of layout, atmosphere and amenities, this could be the best bar I've ever been to. Games, view, couch, tv's, bar, live music, balcony, soul.Upvote9Downvote
Jo GraingerOctober 6, 2014On a Sunday evening they host a jam where individual musicians are called on stage for a couple of songs set. Typically they have never played together making each performance unique. V cool.Upvote4Downvote
