Cochrane's - a soft spot in the rigid matrix of yuppie lounge bars that characterise the area. With its open-air walls and balcony, and it's strategic position underneath the escalator just below Hollywood Road, it is the perfect place to people-watch.

A laid back sports bar style, low lighting, matt-red sofa and easy-going music make this a fine place to relax. A peaceful haven amongst the hustle and bustle of Central.

Cochrane's features an amazing selection of beers - almost 50 - from Duvel and London Pride to Mendicino and Brooklyn.

Menu items include classic pub grub such as Ploughman's Lunch, Bubble and Squeak, Shepherds Pie, Chicken and Leek Pie, bangers and Mash and, of course, Fish and Chips. The spare ribs are also a speciality

On weekends and public holidays brunch is available between 12.00 and 4.00pm.

Pizzas and a variety of sandwiches are also available
