EDT or Liquorish are my suggestions as they are lively (both usually have a DJ on later in the evening) and no kids to be seen. EDT is my usual choice on a Friday / Saturday.
We are usually to be found in the EDT 3 or 4 times a week (:-$) and have never been ill eating or drinking in there. Now, is it time to go to the pub yet?
Well said SimonM. I love the fact that everyone says that we want independent shops in ED and then we spend all day slagging them off...I'm glad I'm not a shop owner here.
