Dark Horse

It's the future - cafes that look like bars. And sitting opposite its big brother, the Duke of York pub, what else would you expect but a cool, laid back space reflective of its equally insouciant sibling? Dark wood panelling, stained glass lanterns and antique mirrors lend it a Gentleman's Club ambience. And the Victorian floor tiles, feature ceiling and leather seating continue the parlour-like vibe. Soup, sandwiches and free wifi shore up the lunchtime clientelle. And, though there's no alcohol, you can buy a pint and amble back from the Duke of York.
