The Black Dog is a bar that transcends most clichés. People of all ages and backgrounds come together here for music and drinks. The Wooftop Lounge & Patio enclosed garden patio is the place to be in the summertime, and with free WiFi and regular drink specials it can be a nice way to pass the day. Guest DJs spin tunes from many genres most nights, and Saturday afternoons feature a no cover acoustic jam. A lower level room called the Underdog is available for private functions.

Located along the Argyll street, Union Hall is where all the fun and excitement is. This nightclub is always in a bust of energy with patrons dancing away to the tunes of the DJ. The dance floor is very spacious but is always filled to its capacity so be sure that you are well in time before it gets crowded. Their well-assorted drinks flow freely and are reasonably priced. They also undertake bookings should you want to throw a personal party to celebrate some special times. However, ensure that you plan your party on a Thursday, Friday or a Saturday only, for they do not take bookings otherwise.
