I have spent a Saturday evening here listening to karaoke and then came back next day to have coffee in the afternoon. It is a lovely when you with a charme. One of the coziest LGBT places I have ever been to.

I just popped in for a drink. Good music, real bar atmosphere. It must be great here in the evenings. I should check it out.
