What used to be a storage and mending facility for fishermen is now an upscale wine bar and restaurant with a designer interior. They kept the stone elements of the building to create a beautiful decor for a lively wine- and music-focused bar. If you're looking for a quiet cozy spot, this isn't it! They bring in crowds who appreciate the bands and the wine selection, along with the cocktails. There is a restaurant too, with creative takes (though reviews are mixed on the quality and on the less-than-stellar service). Our advice: stick to the wine bar and snacks, enjoy the vibe and music, taste a local vintage, and chat with the locals.
