A relaxing, cocktail bar that recently moved across the town centre from Lime Street. It offers table service within the town-centre area of wines, cocktails and craft beers. The lighting is atmospheric and helps customers chill out. No real ale is available, however they have recently teamed up with Maule Brewing Company whom are providing craft beer, pilsner and lager (currently the only venue in the area stocking these beers).

Contact in advance to book for a group as customer space is limited.

Information for this venue is provided by the North Bedfordshire Branch of CAMRA
