About this space

Gadfly Bar is a compact neighbourhood bar centred on a long service counter and an informal, conversation-friendly layout.

Design: The interior is an intimate, narrow room finished with exposed brick walls and a timber bar counter. The lighting is low and directional and seating is arranged close to the bar, creating a compact, easy-to-move-around layout.

Features: The venue provides a full-service back bar and staffed counter for on-site drink service. The room includes a PA system and speakers with an option to use your own music, plus Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The space has step-free guest access and an operational kitchen that supports dine-in and takeout, with outside deliveries accommodated when required.

Ideal for: Small, informal groups seeking a drink-led, social gathering where conversation at the bar or nearby seating is central.

What sets it apart: A focused cocktail and whiskey programme run by experienced bartenders, supported by a rotating selection of beers.

What guests say: The space is dark, comfortable and laid-back and the staff are welcoming and attentive. The seating is compact and can feel tight when the bar gets busy.

30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · August 2022
Perfect spot for a private party! Owners were so easy going to work with and really friendly on the day of our event making sure everything was going well. Great deal for shutting down the bar for a few hours during the later afternoon. We ordered food ahead with them and everything was great.
