ku-bu, a lively ‘tattoo’ bar found in the Plaza Centre has a well known live DJ each evening except for Fridays. It is a popular place, becoming very crowded in the late evenings with passing trade and is open until the small hours. This entertaining tactile venue is probably more suited to singles rather than couples.
