What makes Adam’s Apple Bar special

Jaye Marie and Michelle Franklin run the bar, which used to be called Ken’s Pub and was remodelled around 2015. Since then there’s been a terrace with a gazebo. The drinks are cheap and the mood homely. Every now and then the owners simply put out a buffet.

A good fit if you …

  • are looking for a trans-friendly meeting place
  • like karaoke in a small setting

Not ideal if you …

  • want to pay by card
Our tip: Bring cash; according to GayOut it’s cash only.
