Conversion

A spectacular building from around 1920 that was a branch of the National Bank. it was relaunched in 2018 as a stylish bar making enterprising use of a fine space. There is an island bar, tiled dance floor and sectioned ceiling held up by marble columns with decorative capitals. The seating is in the former banking hall and on a mezzanine, with some drinking booths.
