Pub-licenced restaurants make up a decent proportion of my posts recently, and will do for a while yet - as they're a category I am now having to make specific efforts to tick off. 

This one falls in to the "actually welcomes drinkers and has a real bar" category, a small enough selection; even smaller if you exclude places that used to actually be pubs but have become restaurants over time.

The bar here is large enough, and was initially worryingly quiet during our visit - but started to get busy around 8. All music is played off vinyl, a rare but not unique element shared with N0099 Big Romance and possibly some other bars in the city. 

There's a small, occasionally changing food menu in the bar; with more range in the actual restaurant, but we went for the bar. I suspect that bookings, if you just want to go to the bar, are not essential much of the time - but later on a weekend could be required.
