An easy-going hangout with simple food and a back room with floor mattresses and afternoon movies. Plus a selection of board games, dartboard and arcade machine, there's plenty to do besides drink at the Brass Monkey. However, the drinks alone, which are cheaper than usual and come with a student discount, keep the bar busy and the Free Fringe shows fill the cinema room each afternoon.
