til late.

Ha Ha! The Friary. Popular canteen style bar. Serves good food. Full of beautiful people and after-work
business people. Nice outside seating area in summer. Cute barmen!
Slug and Lettuce The Friary. Interesting sounding menu. Popular at lunch time for food. Went there once
to eat, waited 20 mins to get served at an empty bar and eventually walked out and went next door to Ha Ha. Probably didn't
want to encourage student "rif raf".
Tiger Tiger The Friary. Opened late 2005. Spread over 2 floors. Tiger Tiger has a Grill restaurant,
4 different styled bars and a Club. This place has something for everyone. Food reportedly very good as is the club.
