    This Mediterranean-style coffee shop serves some reasonably tasty food either as take away or to…read moresit in, and is also a shisha cafe - with some seats out at the front for those who want to smoke. For this purpose, however, its City Road location isn't ideal, being busy and rather uninspiring. If you're going to inhale smoke from a water pipe, however, you can hardly get worked up over a few exhaust fumes - but the view could be better. I've recently noticed a sign on their window saying they have a rear garden, so that may be more pleasant for al fresco coffees and a smoke? Appealing to the local student population, Sahara also do baguettes and cold drinks.

    Sahara is a popular café and shisha place on City Road. Frequented by the locals and students alike…read moreit remains a busy and vibrant low cost eatery with quite a lot to offer. There's terrace seating out front and a great garden out the back, as well as plenty of seating in the main café itself. The staff are really friendly, and all share a great sense of humour, making a night out here a pleasant and relaxing one. The Mediterranean food isn't half bad, and being supplemented with things like baguettes, there's something to suit everyone's tastes. This is definitely the place to chill and experiment with shisha if you are so inclined. I love the waft of strawberry flavoured tobacco that infuses the cool night air in the garden at the rear. Top marks to this friendly bunch of affable people... and because of their good nature I rate them the best shisha bar in town!

    With the smoking ban in place I'm not sure why the owners of this place decided to open a shisha…read morelounge. Their solution is to have a pipe sitting outside the entrance, which a bit pathetic in my opinion. It costs a fortune to smoke as well - you're better off going to somewhere exotic and trying it out for a fraction of the cost. They have managed to get something of a middle eastern feel to the place, with slightly garish orange pastel walls. I should declare my interests at this point. X replaced a favourite bar of mine, Oppo. Whilst I'm sure the new residents of this bar had nothing to do with Oppo closing down, I still sort of hold it against them. I suppose I should have a go at the pluses. It's got a pretty nice chilled out atmosphere, with people just here to kick back for a bit. The price aren't to bad for the area, and they probably have a slightly better range that when Oppo was here. So, not a bad bar, although I can't quite understand the point of a shisha lounge under current circumstances.

    A surreal little spot once home to independent cafe Oppo, Niko's has a bizarrely spacious youth…read moreclub feel to it. I think you can tell that the owners are foreign, there's something that feels very strange about the choice of decoration and low tables. Weird though it is, it's not a bad place either. Drinks aren't bank-breaking, there's a range of shisha pipes which can be smoked in the relatively cramped outdoor area and there's invariably plenty of seating room. The minimal decoration there is is loosely Eastern inspired, and while Niko's isn't ever going to be anyone's favourite bar it's a good place on Park Street to grab a chilled out drink late into the night. Provided you're not an agoraphobe that is - the overwhelming impression here is of emptiness, space and lots of it.
