The musical smarts of Big Hands' defiantly independent crowd - compounded by regular after-gig visits from touring musicians - have made this bar an essential indie hangout for those in the know. Stop off here for a pre-Academy pint, and warm your ears up with an eclectic variety of tunes. The music policy ranges from reggae to northern soul. The closing times get extended on busier nights.
