EBG Rating: 8/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️
Decent rather than spectacular range, room for improvement.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What initially looks like a small bar extends into a wider space with further ante rooms to the back. Casual, with a bit of style and even some remnants of preserved fittings, but ultimately cheerful and pitching somewhere between homely and mildly alternative.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Atmospheric on busy evenings, friendly, social and casual at other times. Has a versatility which is to be applauded.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Snacks, instruments, live music, board games

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Typical central prices, but Happy Hours 6-8 offer some respite.

Description:
BamJam is a friendly and reliable late night bar. 6 nights a week you can continue into the small hours of the morning.

It isn’t a trashy dive bar but a welcoming, colourful hangout with flashes of style but also a colourful, casual and relaxed approach.

Drinks are decent rather than superb, while the environment itself happens to be the pleasant standout.

BamJam gets people through the door earlier on with its Happy Hour deal from 6-8pm, followed on by live music. Even if there is no scheduled performers you can sometimes enter to find impromptu piano or guitar played.

You’ll find what initially appears to be a small room with a bar, however that narrow space widens out and extends to further anterooms.

Ultimately its versatility keeps the place going, a good option early or late.
