What makes Escape Bar & Grill special

Escape is a sports-bar-style neighbourhood pub with a queer profile, far from the bustle of Old Town. The programme is all about joining in: karaoke (including an early session on Thursdays), trivia and music bingo, plus drag nights. The kitchen serves hearty pub food, and there’s a terrace outside. Without a car or rideshare, getting there is a bit awkward.
