A lovely hidden away complex of little bars, and a proper restaurant. Excellent Scottish food, not cheap but they also do bar food which is better value. Nicely hidden away, a great mix of people but can be crowded at times in the bar. The little whisky bar they have is also worth a visit.

Drinks & Nightlife
Although very big this cafe, bar, restaurant, performance space (and nightclub) actually has a decent level of character and is not a bad place for a slightly cheesy night out or a quick pint.
