Fringe Bar
Editorial
By definition, 'fringe' relates to the unorthodox, the extreme, the innovative. So, by that rationale, you can expect Fringe Bar to be a thriving Mecca for all those souls looking for a little left-of-centre fun. Well, it is, and then it isn't. What you do get at Fringe is a bar that's casual enough to drop into anytime; a bar that serves meals for when you get 'the hunger', and a mix of entertainment that's enough to cut some rug to, but generic enough so as not to be too offensive - they're catering to a large crowd, remember. The interesting thing is, in the Valley, this combination of elements works quite well.
At Fringe you don't need to jostle with sweaty masses to get a drink at the bar. Nor do you have to wait eons for service. This may not always be true on weekends, but the chill out room upstairs - open till the early hours - provides a little respite if you need it. Across the two levels, DJs play a mix of top 40 dance tunes, funky house and urban tracks. So if you don't like one set, you can always move to the other floor.
But if you do want to explore the unorthodox side of the venue, you can always sign up for a pole-dancing course. That's right; learn to tame the pole, than strut your stuff on the dancefloor. Or, sidle up to the bar during happy hour and grab a cheap drink. Across the vast range of tap and bottled beer, premixed drinks and cocktails, you're bound to find something you like.

While the drink prices are ok, the people who work there make it a terrible suffocating experience and not one to experience.
