Jake’s Bar

A downstairs, quite chilled out yet overly popular bar, with clean white walls, wooden high back benches and tables that spill across 3 basement rooms. The bar has a very very good selection of drinks including Psang Ambon. Early on the place is vibrant but in a soft candlelit glow but later on djs populate the bar and the atmosphere turns a little clubby with a smarter- better dressed crowd that the student population across many of the rest of the bars but then the prices at the bar do reflect this higher-brow expectation by the staff and venue management.

Overall a quite swank venue that continues to pull more people than it can hold leaving many queueing outside in the cold. Best to get in early and with a few pounds to spend the evening is quite worthwhile - 7/10
