Pivo Pivo has now become Kitty O'Shea's. Read on for more information about its transformation.

If Irish bars aren't quite your thang and you're in the mood for local brews and wholesome gigging action, maybe head on over to Stereo, Glad Cafe or Bloc+.

Mere stumbling distance from Central Station, Pivo Pivo was a petite, atmospheric watering hole in the heart of the city. As its name suggested, the bar first established itself through a formidably extensive menu of quality international beers. Though it continued to trade on its reputation amongst local brewski connoisseurs, Pivo Pivo also developed into an ethical music venue. Spacious yet intimate, the romantically lit basement bar was somewhat perfect for memorable, magical gigs, regularly supporting local, up and coming talent with live music most nights of the week, earning the bands £1 for every person through the door.

Although Pivo Pivo will be missed, the venue's more recent transformation into a branch of Irish Bar chain Kitty O'Shea's has been pretty warmly received, not least for its bright yet cosy interior, its big ol' stack of Irish whiskeys and its decent selection of craft beers. And, in case that hadn't quite won over the loyal Pivo Pivo crowd, Kitty's has installed a fleet of shiny new flatscreens for the sport-boffins, along with a pleasing spread of all the types of food a grumbly beer-belly craves (Mutha Clucka chicken burger, anyone?).
