NB THE (downstairs bar of) THIS VENUE(the "Navy Bar") HAS -HITHERTO- BEEN MAINLY ASSOCIATED WITH MALE-IDENTIFYING CLIENTELE;
however, the new Social Space we are meeting in ("Pride Coffee") is MIXED, across the whole of the rainbow umbrella:)
It has an LGBTQ community feel:)
Good range of seating type: booths, long benches and cabaret style seating.
See "how to find us" for how to get to the venue.
NB Check out the pic at the top of this post: go up the steps and we are there!
It is booked for OUR USE ONLY.
*HOWEVER, THERE IS NO DISABLED ACCESS; there are about 10 steps upto the space from ground level; and 3/4 steps to the seating booths (but plenty of other, accessible seating available!).*
{OUR OTHER VENUE IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE, including for wheelchairs}
(Recommended) MINIMUM SPEND: one drink (of ANY kind).
NB the Group Organiser(Steve) and Hosts do NOT get involved in the pricing policies(offers etc) of the venues we use!
You pay, for all items individually,(no tabs!)at the bar, directly, per person.NO group bills!
The (recommended)minimum spend is to make it worthwhile for the venue to host us.Any money, therefore, goes direct to the venue, not to our group!
We are wholly non profit-making; and unfunded
