The Duchess Lounge

The Duchess Lounge

An Observatory bar staffed entirely by queer locals, running drag and burlesque nights alongside a daily happy hour.

Turn up on a show night for the stage programme, or earlier in the evening for cheaper rounds and a room you can still talk in.

Local tip: Lower Main Road has bars either side of it, so you can move between venues on foot without needing a car.
