The Barbican

No Longer In Business

The Barbican is not like most other generic British bars in that it doesn’t try to pretend that it’s old and made from old English oak. The décor is both warm and modern, especially the lower seating area, which is great for watching the comings and goings outside the Japanese bars opposite. It attracts a good mix of ex-pats and well to do locals, who enjoy the excellent menu and good selection of beers (Old Speckled Hen, Guinness, Kilkenny, Strongbow & bottled Paulaner).
