Here, patrons are taken from bar None’s Mediterranean mix and are now transported to North America as they dish up a fun selection of snacks that include macaroni, Tex-Mex and good old southern po’boys. Whether one prefers a cosy couch-corner, a chair and table setting, or a casual smoke at the verandah, there’s a leisurely space for everyone as they listen to the sounds of sweet Motown and old-school hip-hop and rock.
