## What it's known for

Iconic independent café-bar on the corner of Water Street and Foyle Street, named after Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto Sandino: live music, arts nights and a famously left-leaning, welcoming crowd. Open daily from 12:30pm until 1:30am (1am Sunday).

Not craft-led: a character bar and music venue.

Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
