Queens Road has undeniably smartened up in the last few years and Babelas is among the best, and probably the most bohemian, of the bars, cafes and restaurants that have moved in. The small street-level area is welcoming and friendly, unless you spend too much time staring at the freaky faces on the wooden sculptures that adorn the one wall, and it would feel rude to stop for less than a couple of pints. Gulpener is among the interesting lager choices, with two real ales for bearded members of the community, and wine drinkers have nothing to complain about either. The windows on the front open up to make the summer months more pleasant, while if Babelas looks busy don't forget to check out the upstairs area.
