The Twelve Bar, in Hamra, is there to make sure that you can get a great drink in enjoyable surrounding, but more importantly, with a great soundtrack playing in the background. The name if the bar comes from ’12-bar’, which I’m sure you know is one of the most popular chord progressions in blues. The Twelve Bar is rowdy and lively, but always friendly, and you can be sure that you’ll have a fun night. If it gets too crowded inside the excitement frequently overflows onto the street, but you can also hangout on their balcony upstairs and watch the people pass by below. A good place to drink if you're short on cash, with two happy hours a night.
