When it opened first the Front Lounge was loved for its spacious interior, comfy couches and easy-going friendly atmosphere.

The Front Lounge is a great place to call into. I love the fact that they have monthly art exhibitions so the place always picks up a slightly diffent feel depending on th artist style. The lounge is so comfortable I could loose myself with a couple of bottles of wine in the big arm chairs any day. For me... More
