Venue Detail
APART Bar
About this venue
A central gay lounge with more breathing room than Havanna, a broad cocktail list and karaoke on selected nights. It works well for mixed groups and first-time visitors: polished enough for a date, relaxed enough to arrive alone, and close to the station and the rest of the centre route.

Wednesday music-request evenings suit a relaxed midweek drink, while karaoke dates bring the most communal, sing-along energy. Friday and Saturday stay open later and feel more animated. In warm weather the front terrace is the sweetest move: sociable, central and far less smoky than the interior.
Locals vs visitors
Gay and bisexual men form a visible core, but ages are mixed and lesbians, queer friends, allies, solo travellers and visiting groups appear comfortably. Reviews from both locals and visitors describe it as a broad scene lounge rather than a narrow pickup bar. Event nights diversify the room further.
Dress code in practice
Smart-casual, jeans, trainers and everyday city clothes all work. There is no published fashion code and no recurring review pattern of appearance-based refusal. Bring a layer for the terrace and wear smoke-tolerant clothes inside; practical comfort matters much more than looking club-ready.
Staff inclusion
Recent 2025 reviews are strongly positive about attentive, humorous and family-like service, including solo guests and larger reserved groups. Older reviews include isolated cold or rude encounters, so the honest consensus is warmly inclusive with occasional inconsistency. Wheelchair access is specifically praised in a
