In a paragraph

Northgates is the independent bar on Northgate Street, known for friendly hosting, mixed drinks and weekend entertainment.

What it's like

Its compact room is the point. Staff can give a birthday or baby shower proper attention, and an ordinary afternoon drink feels less anonymous than it would in a bigger venue.

Personal service and weekend energy

Later on, the same scale means the entertainment fills the whole place. There is no separate corner to retreat to once the volume rises.

Worth knowing

This is one room doing several jobs. It can be warm and personal, but there is nowhere for the noise to go when the night gets going.
