Tread the bare wood floorboards of this roomy bar/cafe in this erstwhile library, and grab a paperback play or two from the dense collection stuffed onto shelves. It's a great place for brekkie, to sink a cocktail or craft beer, or hang out for some pre-theatre snacking. The garden terrace is inviting, especially when the sun is beaming.
