Sweatshop is a small, dark, intimate little counter bar that is downstairs from Seamstress. It's a lot more relaxed than it's big brother but is still a really nice city place for a knock off or as a part of your city based bar crawl. One of the things i really like about this place is the wall is covered in small white writing of all the firsts that have happened at the bar, like first back flip or first flaming Moe. If you have a first they will write it up but it's getting harder and harder.

This bar is only open on Fridays and Saturdays so you have to be aware of that, but they are open for functions and this would be a great place for  private party or work function, because it's a great bar and you'd get it to yourself. The music here is always pretty good, with actual dj's and the mix of people is always girl heavy because they host so many functions.




Other features are a good little smoking courtyard, good food menu, pigging backing off the restaurant upstairs. Craft beers, whiskeys and they actually roll your bottle of Coopers green which i always appreciate.

The bar staff here are great as well and the service is quick. The security is for all three levels and they are always good as well.
