What it’s like

An adults-focused bar with live music every night and stonebaked pizza until 9pm.

This is a bar and live music venue, not a family stop. Every night brings local DJs or acoustic acts, and Tuesdays are given over to an open mic from 7 to 11pm if you fancy watching the local talent take a punt (or getting up there yourself). The site's clear that this one's built around the bar and the music, so don't come expecting soft play corners or a kids' menu.

Doors are open a long stretch, 10am to 2am every day of the week, which gives you room to swing by early for pizza and pasta from the pizzeria kitchen before the music properly gets going, or turn up late once the open mic's warmed up. The kitchen itself runs 12pm to 9pm, so the food side closes well before the bar does.

It's shut on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, otherwise it's open every day on the same long hours. If you're after a low-key evening with decent pizza and some live music that isn't trying too hard, this fits. If you're after somewhere to bring the kids, keep looking.
