Mindelo


Gallery space downstairs and a chilled wine bar upstairs, with lots of contemporary artwork, dark ambient lighting and cool music. A good place for a low-key night out, over wine and tapas-style snacks. It has live music and other events (like film screenings) from time to time. Stop in to see what's on.
