;
7 Rees St; noon-late; )
The big attraction at this otherwise aver-
age bar is the roof terrace - a wonderfully hidden-away spot for an alfresco drink. Later
in the evening DJ-inspired goings-on kick off and the dance floor comes to life. Tuesday
is open-mic night.

The perennial end-of-night
boogie spot - house and big beat gets the dance floor heaving till closing time.
Tardis Bar
BAR
(

; Skyline Arcade, 20 Cow Lane)
A good dance bar with regular DJs playing
hip-hop, drum 'n' bass and dub. Like Dr Who's phone booth, it's surprisingly roomy in-
side.

; 27 Shotover St; 4pm-late)
Before it was destroyed by fire in 2013,
