Guinness bryggeri
A lively restaurant and cocktail bar that turns into a nightclub come late. Great cocktails (but they are pricey) and a late night bbq in the covered gardens makes for a trendy bar scene in converted Georgian buildings.

Way back, Fade Street was a part of the largest red-light district in Europe and the building in which this restaurant is used to be a tenement building. Not any more. It is now home to lots of restaurants and bars, with The Market Bar always being popular. If you're in a group, there will most definitely be a wait but it's usually. Interesting decor and no-music policy allowed but don't let that put you off: the tapas are good and will set you up for the night.
