A charismatic upstairs hangout awkwardly accessed via a staircase in the new age bookshop on the ground floor. As such it feels a bit like an in-the-know underground culture club, and sustains a surprisingly sophisticated atmosphere, despite the student crowd and dive interior full of clunky furniture, full ashtrays and umbrellas dangling from the ceiling. The beer is dirt cheap and the playlist is more eclectic than you'll hear elsewhere, with punk and grunge sounds that are generally a lot more aggressive than the subdued crowd engaged in conversation or chess matches.
