What makes Bar 1 special
Bar 1 isn’t a place to dance: there’s no dance floor, but instead dim lighting, pool tables and a heated or cooled patio. The guests are mainly regulars from the area, many coming for a cheap beer after work. Out x Out recommends the bar for dates and nights out with friends where you want to talk.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for conversation rather than loud music
- want to play pool or darts
- are out with your dog
Not ideal if you …
- want to dance or see shows
