Pong & Puck
Bars which also offer an activity are all the rage at the moment, as shown by Pong & Puck’s recent establishment in Great Northern Warehouse. As the name would suggest, some of the games on offer include shuffleboard, table tennis, and even prosecco pong.
The drinks menu features a range of craft and draught beers, as well as the bar’s own brand of lager, and a creative cocktail menu. Check out the Naked Pineapple (featuring Naked malt, coconut juice, vanilla syrup, pineapple juice and raspberry) or the Ginger Puck (with tequila, agave, Karma gingerella, and Pong & Puck lager).
