What makes Bistro 303 special

Bistro 303 is more lounge and restaurant than party bar: people sit over cocktails or have dinner, there’s brunch at the weekend, and the crab cakes Benedict are popular. The room also serves as a gallery for local art. Thursday is karaoke, and there’s a terrace at the back.
