Don't miss this place! Great atmosphere, and Jerry (the owner) was really welcoming, friendly and always up for a chat. The music was also great, with customers able to request songs to be put on, and it was just overall a very fun and comfortable environment. You know it's good when you visit somewhere on holiday and instantly note that you should come back the next time you're in the area - you know it's great when you go back again before your holiday's even over!

Lovely LBGT+ bar. Fun, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Kudos to the owner Jerry - sound man and great for a chat. Reasonable prices and we got a complimentary shot when we arrived. Not to be missed!
