Add on-point DJs and good booking, and even if you don’t get to take one of those pretty...

All Bikes Welcome
Right now we’re parking our bikes inside the bar, but in time for opening, we’ll be getting some genuine racks installed outside the bar, so you can ride down, lock up and drink easy.

In case you wanted to know the faces behind the names, we thought we’d introduce ourselves to you photographically. On the left is Aaron, in the centre is Page and on the right is Jacob. Our...

This is the current view from across the street…
We even stuck a temporary DAP logo up in the window. We think, despite the newspaper and the traffic cone,...

Woodworking
These last two weeks we’ve been fortunate to have the help of Page’s brother, Dirk Finlay. Dirk graduated recently in fine furniture making from the North Bennett Street School in Boston, and his craftsmanship has been so helpful in the development of the space. He’s been plugging sections of the floor in very creative ways, and also framed this piece of wrought iron for us,...

We are getting a stained glass window designed for the bar. It’s only half-way done at the moment but we’re still excited!
It’s being designed by Aaron’s Dad Christopher Hall. Another example of people we know lending a hand to make this space come together. We can’t thank you guys enough for all your help so far!
