What makes Bears’ Den stand out

Bears’ Den is considered one of the most community-minded bars in the area. People drink on the ground floor, the cellar with stone walls and a low ceiling gets cramped and warm, and upstairs there is karaoke and private parties. Guests describe the bar as open to people going out alone. There is criticism of rushed service when it’s busy.
