This place is a FIND; a cozy, safe, local bar with a friendly vibe. Women will feel comfortable here. Octopussy offers an excellent selection of their own craft beers as well as other local brews and cocktails all at reasonable prices. The bar menu is an interesting array of nibbles.

It really makes me not want to go to this bar and i consider others before giving them...

The place often hosts fun evening events, and the freshly renovated frontage looks fantastic. A true...
