Offering respite from the horrendous traffic is this two-storey pub with an outdoor Astroturf terrace for enjoying cocktails and cold beers (including frozen varieties and Guinness on tap). Inside is more of a sports bar vibe, and its menu has pub classics along with some interesting dishes such as their chicken noodle burger, with pressed ramen substituting for the bun.
