Conducive to conversation
Most of the time you head out to a bar or club because you're looking for a bit of entertainment, be it in the form of live bands, DJs, or just bucketloads of alcohol. But what about when you're just looking to have a quiet catch-up with a friend? All of a sudden you start to sound like your parents - complaining that the bands are too loud and the DJ's music is just plain awful. At times like these, you need a venue that's a little more low-key, so here is our pick for bars that are conducive to conversation.
