    Alhambar

    The back of the Alhambar cinema hosts this popular venue for drinks, food and live music. Hung over on a Sunday? Come and cure it with brunch. The decor of feathers hanging from ceiling, zebra-print lampshades, and velvet couches is either creatively innovative or high-camp irony depending on interpretation.

    Olé Olé

    An industrial tapas bar with giant street-facing windows and a bar lit by naked bulbs ensures a stop with a difference near the train station. The Italian place next door is a fine choice for dinner.
