Bar, club and restaurant on Canal Street since 1995, with live cabaret, drag and weekend DJs, open until 04:00 at the weekend.

Via has been on Canal Street since 1995 and calls itself the grande dame of the street. Inside it is dark wood and several separate areas; outside there are tables by the water. It is a bar, restaurant and small club in one, best known for live cabaret and drag, with DJs at the weekend playing pop and party mashups.

It opens at noon every day, closing at 02:00 from Sunday to Thursday and at 04:00 on Friday and Saturday. Food is served until 20:00 or 21:00. Entry is 18+, from £5 on some nights, and dress is casual. Areas can be booked for groups. Not for you if you want a proper dance club: it is a bar with a dance floor, not the other way round.
