Banter Bar & Pub ·$$

Designed exclusively for people with the right amount of banter in them, this bar is for anyone who wants to make friends with strangers or gossip with their old friends! Paired wonderfully with beers, mock cocktails and wine, you can spend a long time in this chilled-out bar just having conversations. Try the popular Salt & Pepper Martini while you are at it. The “rabbiting” theme can be seen throughout the bar in their brick interior rooms surrounded by old house antiques. The small garden offers an intimate space to the people. With no televisions or any other kind of distractions, you will have all the freedom you need to let your mind wander and express itself. Write down your thoughts on the chalk board that’s displayed in the front. For an experience that’s different from a regular bar, do visit the Banter.

Only had drinks - bartender quickly (and well) made my wife a French 75 with vodka. Great people watching in the front, great outdoor space in the back.

If I could give Banter 10 out of 5 stars I would. My boyfriend and I were in town for the holiday weekend and we spent several hours just enjoying drinks and relaxing. The bartender, Trent, was...
