Very friendly bar. Bonus of being dog friendly too. Very pleasant atmosphere in late afternoon/early evening when I visited. Just one teeny tiny criticism. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was playing on a constant loop on both occasions I visited. Was it jammed in the DVD player? 😛
