Where once squatted a dimly lit pool hall populated by the seediest of Street 51’s night walkers, there now stands a cavernous, big-enough-to-swallow-almost-any-band Temple of Boom. Oscar’s 51 is not to be confused with its smaller, slightly less salubrious sibling on Street 104. No, no. The ‘new’ Oscar’s is a gentrified nod to the gods of rock ‘n’ roll – many of whom have been immortalised, life-sized, on its walls. The live music stage is big; the bar even bigger and the resident sound engineer really is The Real Deal.
Oscar’s 51, Street 51 & 172.
