Laverys which spans 3 floors is a choice that will suit most tastes. With a traditional bar on the ground floor with convent smoking area out the back, Mister Toms on the middle floor with its unique decor and the top floor with acts a pool room during the day and a nightspot later on. 21 Social in the Cathedral Quarter has become a popular choice and the Washington close to the city hall is a place worth considering.
