About
Grandfather's was doing the listening bar thing long before it was fashionable: the owner started out mixing rock LPs one song at a time, a novelty in the 1980s. Today the playlist is mostly 1970s AOR, soul and funk, with the odd newer artist he likes, played from a wall of records behind the bar. The room is wood-panelled and comfortable, drinks are straightforward, and the crowd is a mix of older regulars and younger music fans.
