The Fab Cafe is a basement level bar on Portland street. It is decorated with memorabelia from old TV shows. The place seems very dingy and dark the fisrt time you go in, but on closer inspection, the walls are crammed full of great pictures and posters. One of the only venues where you can enjoy yourself looking at the walls!


However, there is more than wallgazing to be done here, namely drinking. Drinks are very cheap, so it makes it a good preclub bar to visit with the intention of 'stocking up' before paying club prices for drinks..

The clientle here are mainly the rockworld faithful, so thick black eyeliner is a must.

Fab cafe often has film screenings during the week, where all the latest
realeases are shown for free, worth checking the METRO to see whats on.

A fair bit more info is required for a higher rate! Cheers, Timmy.
