Converted wine-merchants cellars built in 1688 and an extensive outdoor drinking area create a peaceful haven from the hubbub of the city centre. The main drinking areas are in three separate 'tunnels' with a fourth forming the entrance and bar area. Quiz night on Sundays. Look out for the stoneware bottles used in the construction of the cellar walls. Many board games available. Live music every Saturday eve.
