The excellent, artful Dome is located inside the charming old Poverty Bay Club building (1874): beanbags and art-house flicks now occupy the glass-domed ballroom. There's a cool bar next door serving beer, wine and pizzas amid black-painted floorboards. The very serviceable PBC Cafe is also here. Occasional live bands, too.
