No prizes for guessing what this cool bar was in a former life. A long, intimate space with curved wooden bench seating, tall cream walls and green leather stools fronting the bar gives way to a courtyard that looks for all the world like a sharehouse backyard, complete with brick outhouse toilets, ramshackle furniture, and luscious creeping vines on crumbling brick walls. Funky hipsters man the bar, swigging beer and spinning vinyl. They're a friendly bunch and will keep you up to date on whatever tasty drops are on the two rotating taps and the list of imported wines and boutique bottled beers.
