Crafted out of a disused railway warehouse, Zappa has an industrial feel and an attractive bar backlit against weathered stone. It stages jazz, folk, rock and pop concerts, with a smattering of tribute bands and comedy. Events take place almost nightly; check the website for details (it's worth booking).
