Bars & Pubs

Lordship Lane's very own Brooklyn dive bar, much loved by trendier locals. 'Cool' doesn't even come close: the '70s rock the stereo, the walls are plastered with everything from vintage skate mag covers to Soviet propaganda posters, and the shelves behind the bar groan beneath a retro army of loveable Tomy robots. Seating is split between sofas, bar stools and rickety chairs, and the fact that there isn't room to swing a cat only adds to the unpredictable intimacy of the evening. The draught selection disappoints, but bottles include Chimay, Duvel and Anchor Steam Beer.
