Folk House Cafe & Bar

You'll find Folk House Cafe tucked away on Park Street—that stretch between the university and the city centre where everyone's usually too busy rushing to actually stop and look around. Push through the doors and you're immediately in something different: a proper community space that happens to serve excellent coffee and food, not the other way round. The cafe sits within the folk club itself, so there's always a sense that something's happening here beyond just the cappuccinos, whether that's live music downstairs or just the steady hum of locals who actually know the place.
