Advantages: Nice bar

Disadvantages: Could be overlooked

Situated in Botanic, the centre of studentland, this bar is a nice surprise. Unusually for the area it attracts a diverse crowd and so isn't pigeonholed as a student bar. Attached to the Crescent Townhouse Hotel, the bar has been established for about 12 years now.

Spacious inside, the wood panelled interior gives the space a warm feel. The long mirror backed bar goes down one side of the space and the rest is roughly divided into three seating sections. There are spacious snugs, some high tables with stools and armchairs for lounging in, it would be rare to not find a seat though you may have to stand for a while at the weekends.

The mixed crowd adds to the atmosphere, this is more a place for a drink and a talk than a place to pose. It has drinks waitress service which is great at peak times and food is served during the day.

Just ever so slightly off the main Botanic street it is less frantic than many of the bars in the area, so a place for a relaxing evening or a stop off before heading into town.

Summary: Pleasant bar without attitude
