Bars & Pubs

This gold-corniced DJ bar has always had its finger on the pulse, so it was inevitable that at some point it would attempt to capitalise on the trend for of all things gastro. As ever, expect to find a music-savvy crowd soaking up the range of draught lagers (Grolsch, Beck's Vier, Staropramen). Their diet of hip hop and funk is now spiced up by the addition of El Panzon at the Dogstar, serving up top-notch Mexican food. A taco platter for two is £18 - a fine addition to a cocktail (around the £5 mark) from the brief but appealing list.
