  1. A

    Landmarc

    The preacher wouldn't recognise it. This vibrant bistro-cum-music venue is set in a massive former church - now the stained glass merges with red neon. Acts are a mix of acoustic and tribute bands, with comedy on Wednesdays. The menu's full of tasty café staples: Swiss burger and fries, grilled tuna steak and Thai chicken curry.

    Opera House

    This gorgeously renovated 19th-century theatre mixes Victorian design with an ultracool lighting system. The line-up features a cross-section of music (jazz meets rude-boy punk) and comedy.
