The NINES
Great coffee in the day and even better cocktails by night.
DJs on Friday & Saturdays nights 'til 1am. Interesting, large NY-style space... rough exposed bricks, vintage lights, knackered tiled walls and the furniture is all "fire-sale chic".
Space neatly divvied up into quieter nooks and DJ-facing benches.
Great food and interesting layout in the restaurant upstairs. Nice cocktail sofa area at the back with a large glass wall overlooking... an alley :)
