In a paragraph

Metronome is the little Godstall Lane bar with records behind the counter, a short drinks list and room for a few tables rather than a crowd.

What it's like

Warm light, jazz memorabilia and hands-on service make this feel more like somebody's carefully run listening room than a conventional city-centre bar.

Small bar, records and good hosting

The useful warning is the size. The venue says more than four people will crowd it, and the music comes from the turntable rather than a band.

Worth knowing

The size is both the appeal and the limitation. It is lovely when the numbers fit and awkward when they do not.
