    Butter Factory & Butterbank

    Tucked away in a back lane, Butter Factory is an atmospheric wine bar with stone walls, exposed beams and so-cool-it-hurts staff. As the hours dissolve, DJs kick in and the crowd spills outside. It’s proved so popular that it’s taken over the old bank upstairs and converted it into a nearly-as-cool tapas and cocktail bar.

    Danger! Danger!

    Be very afraid: you may find yourself screaming along as the covers band belts out ‘Living on a Prayer’ to the packed-out scrum of booze hags and hogs at this popular and populist wood-clad barn.
