What it’s like
A basement bar for live DJ sets and jazz nights, with a kitchen serving food most of the week.
This is a bar and live music spot, not a family venue, so it's one for the evenings when you've got a babysitter sorted. Down in the basement you'll find DJ sets and jazz sessions running through the week, the kind of low-lit setup where you can grab a table early and let the music do the work.
The kitchen's open Wednesday to Saturday from midday to 9pm, and Sunday until 8pm. The bar itself runs later, till 2am Wednesday through Sunday, which means a jazz night can easily roll into a proper late one if you're up for it. Entry's free, which takes the pressure off if you just fancy popping in for a drink and seeing what's on.
There's no booking link listed. Given it's free to get in, that's one less thing to sort before you head out.
